The error occur in Section 2, the entries \(C_{k1}^{\dagger }\) and \(C_{k2}^{\dagger }\) of the matrixes \(\sigma _{0}=\left (\begin {array}{cccc} C_{11} & C_{12} & {\cdots } & C_{1k} \\ C_{12}^{\dagger } & C_{22}&\cdots &C_{2k}\\ {\vdots } &\vdots & {\ddots } & {\vdots } \\ C_{k1}^{\dagger }& C_{k2}^{\dagger } & {\cdots } & C_{kk} \\ \end {array} \right )\) and \(\sigma =\varepsilon \left (\begin {array}{cccc} C_{11} & C_{12} & {\cdots } & C_{1k} \\ C_{12}^{\dagger } & C_{22}&\cdots &C_{2k}\\ {\vdots } &\vdots & {\ddots } & {\vdots } \\ C_{k1}^{\dagger }& C_{k2}^{\dagger } & {\cdots } & C_{kk} \\ \end {array} \right )+(1-\varepsilon )\left (\begin {array}{ccc} D_{11} & {\cdots } & 0 \\ {\vdots } & {\ddots } & {\vdots } \\ 0 & {\cdots } & D_{kk} \\ \end {array} \right )\) should be \(C_{1k}^{\dagger }\) and \(C_{2k}^{\dagger }\).

The error occur in Section 3, the matrix \(E_{11}=\left (\begin {array}{cccccccc} E_{1} & 0 & E_{2} & 0 & E_{3} & 0 & 0&0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ E_{2}^{\dagger } & 0 & E_{1} & 0 & 0 & 0 & E_{4} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ E_{3}^{\dagger } & 0 & 0 & 0 & E_{5} & 0 & E_{6} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & E_{4}^{\dagger } & 0 & E_{6}^{\dagger } & 0 & E_{1} & 0\\ 0 & 0& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0\\ \end {array} \right )\) should be \(E_{11}=\left (\begin {array}{cccccccc} E_{1} & 0 & E_{2} & 0 & E_{3} & 0 & 0&0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ E_{2}^{\dagger } & 0 & E_{7} & 0 & 0 & 0 & E_{4} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ E_{3}^{\dagger } & 0 & 0 & 0 & E_{5} & 0 & E_{6} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & E_{4}^{\dagger } & 0 & E_{6}^{\dagger } & 0 & E_{8} & 0\\ 0 & 0& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0& 0\\ \end {array} \right ),\\ \) where the entries E 7 = − (P 12 E 2+E 4 P 24) and E 8 = − (P 24 E 4+P 34 E 6).

The error occur in equation (36)
$$\begin{array}{@{}rcl@{}}(r_{1},r_{2},r_{3},r_{4})^{t}\otimes(s_{1},0,s_{3},0,0,s_{6},0,s_{8},s_{9}, 0, s_{11},0,s_{13},0,s_{15},0)^{t} \end{array} $$should be
$$\begin{array}{@{}rcl@{}}(r_{1},r_{2},r_{3},r_{4})^{t}\otimes(s_{1},0,s_{3},0,s_{5},0,s_{7},0, 0,s_{10},0,s_{12},0,s_{14},0,s_{16})^{t}.\end{array} $$ -

The error occur in equation (37), the vectors
