A superoperator is called ''completely positive'' if its natural extension <math display="inline">\jmath\otimes I</math> to the tensor product <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})\otimes\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})=\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H}\otimes\mathcal{H})</math> is again a positive superoperator on <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})\otimes\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})</math>. A map <math>x\rightarrow\Im_A(x)</math> , where for each <math display="inline">x</math>, the map <math>\Im_A(x)</math> is a completely positive superoperator is called ''Davies–Lewis–Ozawa'' (Davies and Lewis 1970,<ref>Davies E.B., Lewis J.T. | A superoperator is called ''completely positive'' if its natural extension <math display="inline">\jmath\otimes I</math> to the tensor product <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})\otimes\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})=\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H}\otimes\mathcal{H})</math> is again a positive superoperator on <math display="inline">\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})\otimes\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})</math>.
