We consider the problem of minimizing resources required for universal quantum computation using only projective measurements. The resources we focus on are observables, which describe projective measurements, and ancillary qubits. We show…
Establishing the correspondence of two dimensional paraxial and three dimensional non-paraxial optical beams with the qubit and qutrit systems respectively, we derive a complementary relation between Hilbert-Schmidt coherence, generalized…
Reduction of a state of a quantum system to a subsystem gives partial quantum information about the true state of the total system. Two subalgebras A1 and A2 of B(H) are called complementary if the traceless subspaces of A1 and A2 are…
Sums play a prominent role in the formalisms of quantum mechanics, be it for mixing and superposing states, or for composing state spaces. Surprisingly, a conceptual analysis of quantum measurement seems to suggest that quantum mechanics…
The complex numbers are an important part of quantum theory, but are difficult to motivate from a theoretical perspective. We describe a simple formal framework for theories of physics, and show that if a theory of physics presented in this…
The ZX-calculus is a graphical language for reasoning about quantum computation that has recently seen an increased usage in a variety of areas such as quantum circuit optimisation, surface codes and lattice surgery, measurement-based…
The ZX-Calculus is a graphical language for diagrammatic reasoning in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory. It comes equipped with an equational presentation. We focus here on a very important property of the language:…
A canonical transformation is performed on the phase space of a number of homogeneous cosmologies to simplify the form of the scalar (or, Hamiltonian) constraint. Using the new canonical coordinates, it is then easy to obtain explicit…
The subalgebra of diagonal elements of a quantum matrix group has been conjectured by Daniel Krob and Jean-Yves Thibon to be isomorphic to a cubic algebra, coined the quantum pseudo-plactic algebra. We present a functorial approach to the…
We extend the notions of quantum harmonic analysis, as introduced in R. Werner's paper from 1984 (J. Math. Phys. 25(5)), to abelian phase spaces, by which we mean a locally compact abelian group endowed with a Heisenberg multiplier. In this…
We show that number and canonical phase (of a single mode optical field) are complementary observables. We also bound the measurement uncertainty region for their approximate joint measurements.
We define a Frobenius algebra over fusion categories of the form Rep$(G)\boxtimes$Rep$(G)$ which generalizes the diagonal subgroup of $G\times G$. This allows us to extend field theoretical constructions which depend on the existence of a…
Quantum walks provide a framework for understanding and designing quantum algorithms that is both intuitive and universal. To leverage the computational power of these walks, it is important to be able to programmably modify the graph a…
The main purpose of thispaper is to show that composite quantum-like (QL) systems can closely mimic the separable states of quantum systems, and that suitable physical systems exhibiting these states exist. It is shown that QL graphs can…
The quantum analogue of general relativistic geometry should be implementable on smooth manifolds without an a priori metric structure, the kinematical covariance group acting by diffeomorphisms. Here I approach quantum gravity (QG) in the…
The composite particle duality extends the notions of both flux attachment and statistical transmutation in spacetime dimensions beyond 2+1D. It constitutes an exact correspondence that can be understood either as a theoretical framework or…
Toy models have been used to separate important features of quantum computation from the rich background of the standard Hilbert space model. Category theory, on the other hand, is a general tool to separate components of mathematical…
We propose a new point of view on quantum cohomology, strongly motivated by the work of Givental and Dubrovin, but closer to differential geometry than the existing approaches. The central object is the D-module which "quantizes" a…
Unitary fusion categories formalise the algebraic theory of topological quantum computation. These categories come naturally enriched in a subcategory of the category of Hilbert spaces, and by looking at this subcategory, one can identify a…
The paper explores the basic geometrical properties of the observables characterizing two-qubit systems by employing a novel projective ring geometric approach. After introducing the basic facts about quantum complementarity and maximal…
