It is shown that for any $2\\otimes d$ circulant operator $\\cal O$ there exists a basis giving rise to the matrix representation with real non-negative off-diagonal elements. In this basis the problem of finding extremum of $\\cal O$ on product vectors $\\ket{x}\\otimes \\ket{y} \\in \\mathbb{C}^2\\otimes \\mathbb{C}^d$ reduces to the corresponding problem in $\\mathbb{R}^2\\otimes \\mathbb{R}^d$. The final analytical result for $d=2$ is presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-10T10:36:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "local numerical range", "hermitian operators", "real non-negative off-diagonal elements", "final analytical result", "product vectors" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.2732J" } } }
