Let and choose
For any orthonormal two-qubit basis , a Kraus representation is
The completeness relation holds and . Differences of states are traceless, so
The channel is strictly contractive with coefficient . On operator space, spans the eigenvalue-one direction and every traceless operator has eigenvalue , hence
