.. py:function:: completely_bounded_trace_norm(phi, solver = 'cvxopt', **kwargs)

   Find the completely bounded trace norm of a quantum channel.

   Also known as the diamond norm of a quantum
   channel (Section 3.3.2 of :cite:`Watrous_2018_TQI`). The algorithm in p.11 of :cite:`Watrous_2012_Simpler` with
   implementation in QETLAB :cite:`QETLAB_link` is used.

   .. rubric:: Examples

   To computer the completely bounded spectral norm of a depolarizing channel,

   .. jupyter-execute::

       from toqito.channels import depolarizing
       from toqito.channel_metrics import completely_bounded_trace_norm
       # Define the depolarizing channel
       choi_depolarizing = depolarizing(dim=2, param_p=0.2)
       completely_bounded_trace_norm(choi_depolarizing)
