Abstract
A theorem of Blackwell about comparison between information structures in classical statistics is given as an analogue in the quantum probabilistic set-up. The theorem provides an operational interpretation for trace-preserving completely positive maps, which are the natural quantum analogue of classical stochastic maps. The proof of the theorem relies on the separation theorem for convex sets and on quantum teleportation.
