Abstract
It is widely believed that the Choi map generates an extremal ray in the cone P(M3)P(M3) of all positive linear maps between C⁎C⁎-algebra M3M3 of all n×nn×n matrices over the complex field. But the only proven fact is that the Choi map generates the extremal ray in the cone of all positive linear maps preserving all real symmetric 3×33×3 matrices. In this note, we show that the Choi map is indeed extremal in the cone P(M3)P(M3). We also clarify some misclaims about the correspondence between positive semi-definite biquadratic real forms and positive linear maps, and discuss possible positive linear maps which coincide with the Choi map on symmetric matrices.
