Abstract
The dynamical evolution of a quantum system is described by a one parameter family of linear transformations of the space of self-adjoint trace class operators (on the Hilbert space of the system) into itself, which map statistical operators to statistical operators. We call such transformations dynamical maps. We give a sufficient condition for a dynamical map A not to decrease the entropy of a statistical operator. In the special case of an N-level system, this condition is also necessary and it is equivalent to the property that A preserves the central state.
