Molnár, Lajos; Timmermann, Werner Isometries of quantum states. (English) Zbl 1047.81017 J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 36, No. 1, 267-273 (2003). Summary: This paper treats the isometries of metric spaces of quantum states. In fact, we consider two metrics on the set of all quantum states, namely the Bures metric and that which comes from the trace-norm. We describe all the corresponding (nonlinear) isometries and also present similar results concerning the space of all (non-normalized) density operators.
