50. In [12] the matrix G is parametrized in terms of three variables (α, β, γ), reducing to our diagonal form for α = γ and β = 0. This follows from the evolution map in [21] being simply positive rather than completely positive. Complete positivity is a safer assumption, preventing the possible occurrence of negative probabilities [22].
