Abstract

We show that a state φ on a Jordan algebra 𝓐 induces complete inner product space if and only if φ is a convex combination of pure states. Inner product spaces generated by Type I n factor states and states on spin factors are described. We initiate study of completely positive maps in this connection by showing that pure completely positive map on a C ∗-algebra gives always complete inner product space in the Stinespring construction.
