Quantum State-Channel Duality for the calculation of Standard Model scattering amplitudes

Abstract: Recent instances of successful application of quantum information techniques to particle physics problems invite for an analysis of the mathematical details behind such connection. In this paper, we identify the Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism, or state-channel duality, as a theoretical principle enabling the application of the theory of quantum information to the scattering amplitudes associated with Standard Model processes.
