In quantum information theory, the identity channel is a noise-free quantum channel. That is, the channel outputs exactly what was put in.[1] The identity channel is commonly denoted as [math]\displaystyle{ I }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \mathsf{id} }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ \mathbb{I} }[/math].
