Estimating the volume of a convex body is a central problem in convex geometry and can be viewed as a continuous version of counting. We present a quantum algorithm that estimates the volume of an $n$-dimensional convex body within…
In this paper, we present a general theory of finite quantum measurements, for which we assume that the state space of the measured system is a finite dimensional Hilbert space and that the possible outcomes of a measurement is a finite set…
For convex partitions of a convex body $B$ we prove that we can put a homothetic copy of $B$ into each set of the partition so that the sum of homothety coefficients is $\ge 1$. In the plane the partition may be arbitrary, while in higher…
Assume $K$ is a convex body in $R^d$, and $X$ is a (large) finite subset of $K$. How many convex polytopes are there whose vertices come from $X$? What is the typical shape of such a polytope? How well the largest such polytope (which is…
We prove by a counterexample that asymptotic quantum Horn bodies are not convex in general.
The possible spectra of one-particle reduced density matrices that are compatible with a pure multipartite quantum system of finite dimension form a convex polytope. We introduce a new construction of inner- and outer-bounding polytopes…
The set of all separable quantum states is compact and convex. We focus on the two-qubit quanum system and study the boundary of the set. Then we give the criterion to determine whether a separable state is on the boundary. Some…
Similarly to quantum states, also quantum measurements can be "mixed", corresponding to a random choice within an ensemble of measuring apparatuses. Such mixing is equivalent to a sort of hidden variable, which produces a noise of purely…
The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…
Quantum mechanics does not permit joint measurements of non-commuting observables. However, it is possible to measure the weak value of a projection operator, followed by the precise measurement of a different property. The results can be…
While entanglement plays an important role in characterizing quantum many-body systems, it is hardly possible to directly access many-body entanglement in real experiments. In this paper, we study how bipartite entanglement of many-body…
This article belongs to the area of geometric tomography, which is the study of geometric properties of solids based on data about their sections and projections. We describe a new direction in geometric tomography where different…
We consider uniformly strongly elliptic systems of the second order with bounded coefficients. First, sufficient conditions for the invariance of convex bodies obtained for linear systems without zero order term in bounded domains and…
Consider the set Q of quantum correlation vectors for two observers, each with two possible binary measurements. Quadric (hyperbolic) inequalities which are satisfied by every vector in Q are proved, and equality holds on a two dimensional…
A solution to the second measurement problem, determining what prior microscopic properties can be inferred from measurement outcomes ("pointer positions"), is worked out for projective and generalized (POVM) measurements, using consistent…
Peculiarities of multiqubit measurement are for the most part similar to peculiarities of measurement for qudit -- quantum object with finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Three different interpretations of measurement concept are analysed.…
One notion of non-locality in quantum theory is the fact that information may be encoded in a composite system in such a way that it is not accessible through local measurements, even with the assistance of classical communication. Thus,…
It is well known that any measure in S^2 satisfying certain simple conditions is the surface measure of a bounded convex body in R^3. It is also known that a local perturbation of the surface measure may lead to a nonlocal perturbation of…
We present graphical representation for genaralized quantum measurements (POVM). We represent POVM elements as Bloch vectors and find the conditions these vectors should satisfy in order to describe realizable physical measurements. We show…
We advance a novel perspective of the entanglement issue that appeals to the Schlienz-Mahler measure [Phys. Rev. A 52, 4396 (1995)]. Related to it, we propose an criterium based on the consideration of convex subsets of quantum states. This…
