Abstract
This work describes one parametrization of quantum states and channels and several of its possible applications. This parametrization works in any dimension and there is an explicit algorithm which produces it. Included in the list of applications are a simple characterization of pure states, an explicit formula for one additive entropic quantity which does not require knowledge of eigenvalues, and an algorithm which finds one Kraus operator representation for a quantum operation without recourse to eigenvalue and eigenvector calculations.
