Corresponding to a hypergraph $G$ with $d$ vertices, a quantum hypergraph state is defined by $|G\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2^d}}\sum_{n = 0}^{2^d - 1} (-1)^{f(n)} |n \rangle$, where $f$ is a $d$-variable Boolean function depending on the…

We develop a comprehensive theory of phase for finite-dimensional quantum systems. The only physical requirement we impose is that phase is complementary to amplitude. To implement this complementarity we use the notion of mutually unbiased…
The ultimate miniaturization of electronic devices will likely require local and coherent control of single electronic wavefunctions. Wavefunctions exist within both physical real space and an abstract state space with a simple geometric…
