The purpose of this paper is to introduce several basic theorems of coherent states and generalized coherent states based on Lie algebras su(2) and su(1,1), and to give some applications of them to quantum information theory for graduate…

The spinfoam framework is a proposal for a regularized path integral for quantum gravity. Spinfoams define quantum space-time structures describing the evolution in time of the spin network states for quantum geometry derived from Loop…

The evolution of spin network states in loop quantum gravity can be described by introducing a time variable, defined by the surfaces of constant value of an auxiliary scalar field. We regulate the Hamiltonian, generating such an evolution,…

The simplicial framework of Engle-Pereira-Rovelli-Livine spin-foam models is generalized to match the diffeomorphism invariant framework of loop quantum gravity. The simplicial spin-foams are generalized to arbitrary linear 2-cell…

In the context of loop quantum gravity, quantum states of geometry are mathematically defined as spin networks living on graphs embedded in the canonical space-like hypersurface. In the effort to study the renormalisation flow of loop…

Working within the framework of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), we construct a set of three operators suitable for identifying coordinate-like quantities on a spin-network configuration. In doing so, we rely on known properties of operators for…

We introduce the spin coherence scale as a measure of quantum coherence for spin systems, generalizing the quadrature coherence scale (QCS) previously defined for quadrature observables. This SU($2$)-invariant measure quantifies the…

A SU(2) intertwiner with N legs can be interpreted as the quantum state of a convex polyhedron with N faces (when working in 3d). We show that the intertwiner Hilbert space carries a representation of the non-compact group SO*(2N). This…

In this article we outline a rather general construction of diffeomorphism covariant coherent states for quantum gauge theories. By this we mean states $\psi_{(A,E)}$, labelled by a point (A,E) in the classical phase space, consisting of…

In the Hilbert space of a quantum particle the standard coherent-state resolution of unity is written in terms of a phase-space integration of the outer product $|z\rangle \langle z|$. Because no pair of coherent states is orthogonal, one…

We perform a quantization of the loop gravity phase space purely in terms of spinorial variables, which have recently been shown to provide a direct link between spin network states and simplicial geometries. The natural Hilbert space to…

In the search for a covariant formulation for Loop Quantum Gravity, spin foams have arised as the corresponding discrete space-time structure and, among the different models, the Barrett-Crane model seems the most promising. Here, we study…

Loop Quantum Gravity defines the quantum states of space geometry as spin networks and describes their evolution in time. We reformulate spin networks in terms of harmonic oscillators and show how the holographic degrees of freedom of the…

Spin networks in Loop Quantum Gravity are traditionally described by unitary holonomies corresponding to noiseless transformations. In this work, we extend this framework to incorporate general quantum channels that model effects of…

In this paper, we carry out the entanglement calculations on the coherent intertwiners. We first consider the entanglement introduced by the group-averaging of the tensor-product type intertwiner on a four-valents vertex. The result shows…

This series of lectures gives a simple and self-contained introduction to the non-perturbative and background independent loop approach of canonical quantum gravity. The Hilbert space of kinematical quantum states is constructed and a…

We discuss how to recognize the constellations seen in the Majorana representation of quantum states. Then we give explicit formulas for the metric and symplectic form on SU(2) orbits containing general number states. Their metric and…

We present a theory of graphene quantum rings designed to produce degenerate shells of single particle states close to the Fermi level. We show that populating these shells with carriers using a gate leads to correlated ground states with…

This work describes coherent states for a physical system governed by a Hamiltonian operator, in two dimensional space, of spinless charged particles subject to a perpendicular magnetic field B, coupled with a harmonic potential. The…

Generalized Coherent States (GCS) are constructed (and discussed) in order to study quasiclassical behaviour of quantum spin models of the Heisenberg type. Several such models are taken to their semiclassical limits, whose form depends on…
