For , the qubit depolarizing channel

is invertible as a linear map. It therefore determines every input snapshot. Nevertheless, no CPTP left inverse exists: the trace distance between the two computational-basis outputs is , whereas their input trace distance is one, and channels cannot increase trace distance.
