VIII-B@3#prop:residual
Two channels can have identical classical records for every input and different surviving residual states.
Proof. For a qubit, let
and define channels to a one-label record and a surviving qubit by
Both records are always . For , the residual states are and . Their difference is the Pauli matrix , with eigenvalues . Thus their trace distance is . The residual observable distinguishes them.
