2. A map E is completely positive if it preserves positivity not just for a local state in H, but also for any state of the system that is entangled with any other system. In other words, upon denoting by I the identical map on the Hilbert space K of a second quantum system, the extended map E ⊗ I on H ⊗ K must be positive for any extension K.
