Abstract: We analyze qubit channels by exploiting the possibility of representing two-level quantum systems in terms of characteristic functions. To do so, we use functions of non-commuting variables (Grassmann variables), defined in terms of generalized displacement operators, following an approach which resemble the one adopted for continuous–variable (Bosonic) systems. It allows us to introduce the notion of qubit Gaussian channels and to show that they share similar properties with the corresponding continuous–variable counterpart. Some examples of qubit channels are investigated using this approach.
