We show that a new unitary transform with characteristics almost similar to those of the finite Fourier transform can be defined in any finite-dimensional Hilbert space. It is defined by using the Kravchuk polynomials, and we call it…

Hamilton in the course of his studies on quaternions came up with an elegant geometric picture for the group SU(2). In this picture the group elements are represented by ``turns'', which are equivalence classes of directed great circle arcs…

Unitary metaplectic representations of the group $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}_{2^n})$ are necessary to describe the evolution of $2^n$-dimensional quantum systems, such as systems involving $n$ qubits. It is shown that in order for the metaplectic…

We continue to study Pythagorean unitary representation of Richard Thompson's groups $F,T,V$ and their extension to the Cuntz(-Dixmier) algebra. Any linear isometry from a Hilbert space to its direct sum square produces such. We focus on…
