Let $G$ be a discrete group with property (T). It is a standard fact that, in a unitary representation of $G$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, almost invariant vectors are close to invariant vectors, in a quantitative way. We begin by…

In finite dimensions, controllability of bilinear quantum control systems can be decided quite easily in terms of the "Lie algebra rank condition" (LARC), such that only the systems Lie algebra has to be determined from a set of generators.…

We show that partial transposition for pure and mixed two-particle states in a discrete $N$-dimensional Hilbert space is equivalent to a change in sign of a "momentum-like" variable of one of the particles in the Wigner function for the…

A pre-order and equivalence relation on the class of positive real Hilbert space operators are introduced, in correspondence with similar relations for contraction operators defined by Yu.L. Shmul'yan in [7]. It is shown that the pre-order,…

In these notes we construct a quantization functor, associating an Hilbert space H(V) to a finite dimensional symplectic vector space V over a finite field F_q. As a result, we obtain a canonical model for the Weil representation of the…

We discuss the Jaynes-Cummings model in different representations of the algebra of canonical commutation relations. The first conclusion is that all the irreducible representations lead to equivalent physical predictions. However, the…

We consider the vector space of globally differentiable piecewise polynomial functions defined on a three-dimensional polyhedral domain partitioned into tetrahedra. We prove new lower and upper bounds on the dimension of this space by…

The relational version of the modal interpretation offers both a consistent quantum ontology and solution for quantum paradoxes within the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. In the present paper this approach is generalized for…

Based on a number of experimentally verified physical observations, it is argued that the standard principles of quantum mechanics should be applied to the Universe as a whole. Thus, a paradigm is proposed in which the entire Universe is…

We quantise complex, infinite-dimensional projective space CP(H). We apply the result to quantise a complex, finite-dimensional, classical phase space C whose symplectic volume is infinite, by holomorphically embedding it into CP(H). The…

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

The tomographic description of a quantum state is formulated in an abstract infinite dimensional Hilbert space framework, the space of the Hilbert-Schmidt linear operators, with trace formula as scalar product. Resolutions of the unity,…

This paper begins the study of infinite-dimensional modules defined on bicomplex numbers. It generalizes a number of results obtained with finite-dimensional bicomplex modules. The central concept introduced is the one of a bicomplex…

The usual position-momentum commutation relation plays a fundamental role in the mathematical description of continuous-variable quantum systems. In the case of a qudit described by a Hilbert space of a high enough dimension, there exists a…

We have shown that quantum systems on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are equivalent under local transformations. Using these transformations give rise to a gauge group that connects the hamiltonian operators associated with each quantum…

Occam's Razor tells us to pick the simplest model that fits our observations. In order to make sense of his process mathematically, we interpret it in the context of posets of functions. Our approach leads to some unusual new combinatorial…

Quantum operations (QO) describe any state change allowed in quantum mechanics, such as the evolution of an open system or the state change due to a measurement. We address the problem of which unitary transformations and which observables…

Controllability -- the possibility of performing any target dynamics by applying a set of available operations -- is a fundamental requirement for the practical use of any physical system. For finite-dimensional systems, as for instance…

We consider a particle with a position-dependent mass, moving in a three-dimensional semi-infinite parallelepipedal or cylindrical channel under the influence of some hyperbolic potential. We show that the lack of uniformity in the…

Elaborating on our previous presentation, where the term {\it dipolar quantization} was introduced, we argue here that adopting $L_0-(L_1+L_{-1})/2+{\bar L}_0-({\bar L}_1+{\bar L}_{-1})/2$ as the Hamiltonian instead of $L_0+{\bar L}_0$…
