A small quantum scattering system (the microsystem) is studied in interaction with a large system (the macrosystem) described by unknown stochastic variables. The interaction between the two systems is diagonal for the microsystem in a…
We study deterministic and quantum dynamics from a constructive "finite" point of view, since the introduction of a continuum, or other actual infinities in physics poses serious conceptual and technical difficulties, without any need for…
We study different notions of quantum correlations in multipartite systems of distinguishable and indistinguishable particles. Based on the definition of quantum coherence for a single particle, we consider two possible extensions of this…
A knot mosaic is a representation of a knot or link on a square grid using a collection of tiles that are either blank or contain a portion of the knot diagram. Traditionally, a piece of the knot on one tile connects to a piece of the knot…
A definition is given and the physical meaning of quantum transformations of a non-commutative configuration space (quantum group coactions) is discussed. It is shown that non-commutative coordinates which are transformed by quantum groups…
We introduce and explore the notion of texture of an arbitrary quantum state, in a selected basis. In the first part of this letter we develop a resource theory and show that state texture is adequately described by an easily computable…
Beginning in abstract space and dislodging the representational form paves a way to formulate a version of a quantum physical measurement scheme. With materiality playing sustainment roles with respect to q-states, these latter control…
Recently developed quantum algorithms suggest that quantum computers can solve certain problems and perform certain tasks more efficiently than conventional computers. Among other reasons, this is due to the possibility of creating…
The relation between quantum phase transitions, entanglement, and geometric phases is investigated with a system of two qubits with XY type interaction. A seam of level crossings of the system is a circle in parameter space of the…
Quantum chaos is presented as a paradigm of information processing by dynamical systems at the bottom of the range of phase-space scales. Starting with a brief review of classical chaos as entropy flow from micro- to macro-scales, I argue…
A spin network is a generalization of a knot or link: a graph embedded in space, with edges labelled by representations of a Lie group, and vertices labelled by intertwining operators. Such objects play an important role in 3-dimensional…
Discrete quantum walks are dynamical protocols for controlling a single quantum particle. Despite of its simplicity, quantum walks display rich topological phenomena and provide one of the simplest systems to study and understand…
Topological properties of quantum systems are one of the most intriguing emerging phenomena in condensed matter physics. A crucial property of topological systems is the symmetry-protected robustness towards local noise. Experiments have…
This paper addresses the application of quantum entanglement and cryptography for automation and control of dynamic systems. A dynamic system is a system where the rates of changes of its state variables are not negligible. Quantum…
We modify the definition of spherical knotoids to include a framing, in analogy to framed knots, and define a further modification that includes a secondary 'coframing' to obtain 'biframed' knotoids. We exhibit topological spaces whose…
Finite-dimensional Quantum Mechanics can be geometrically formulated as a proper classical-like Hamiltonian theory in a projective Hilbert space. The description of composite quantum systems within the geometric Hamiltonian framework is…
Knot physics is the theory of the universe that not only unified all the fundamental interactions but also explores the underlying physics of quantum mechanics. In knot physics, the most important physical result is the unification of…
We discuss the basic problem of signal transmission in quantum mechanics in terms of topological theories. Using the analogy between knot diagrams and quantum amplitudes we calculate the transmission coefficients of the concept topological…
Quantum fields are shown to provide an example of infinite-dimensional quantum groups. A dictionary is established between quantum field and quantum group concepts: the expectation value over the vacuum is the counit, Wick's theorem is the…
The problem of "what is 'system'?" is in the very foundations of modern quantum mechanics. Here, we point out the interest in this topic in the information-theoretic context. E.g., we point out the possibility to manipulate a pair of…
