rhoT=pt(rho,list,varargin)

% pt    partial transposition of a density matrix
%       for a qudit register.
%    pt(M,list,d) computes the matrix obtained from M
%    by partially transposing the qudits given in the list.
%    The numbering of the qudits starts with 1, not from 0.
%    Here d is the dimension of the qudits.
%    If d is not provided then d is taken to be 2 (qubits).
%    M is normalized making the trace 1 before any further
%    computation. If instead of a density matrix, a state vector
%    is provided for M, then this vector is transformed to 
%    a density matrix before computing the partial transpose.
