In the operator formalism of quantum mechanics, the density operator describes the complete statistics of a quantum state in terms of d^2 independent elements, where d is the number of possible outcomes for a precise measurement of an…

We study superpotential algebras by introducing the notion of quantum-symmetric equivalence defined relatively to two fixed Hopf coactions. This concept relies on the non-vanishing of a bi-Galois object for the two coacting Hopf algebras,…

We are focused on the idea that observables in quantum physics are a bit more than just hermitian operators and that this is, in general, a "tricky business". The origin of this idea comes from the fact that there is a subtle difference…

In Quantum Mechanics operators must be hermitian and, in a direct product space, symmetric. These properties are saved by Lie algebra operators but not by those of quantum algebras. A possible correspondence between observables and quantum…

In operator algebra theory, a conditional expectation is usually assumed to be a projection map onto a sub-algebra. In the paper, a further type of conditional expectation and an extension of the Lueders - von Neumann measurement to…

We investigate the intrinsic ambiguity in the definition of correlation functions arising from the inevitable invasiveness of quantum measurements. While algebraic correlations defined as expectation values of products of observables are…

Probability maps are additive and normalised maps taking values in the unit interval of a lattice ordered Abelian group. They appear in theory of affine representations and they are also a semantic counterpart of Hajek's probability logic.…

We obtain a positive probability distribution or Q-function for an arbitrary fermionic many-body system. This is different to previous Q-function proposals, which were either restricted to a subspace of the overall Hilbert space, or used…

We present a reformulation of quantum mechanics in terms of probability measures and functions on a general classical sample space and in particular in terms of probability densities and functions on phase space. The basis of our proceeding…

We define functions of noncommuting self-adjoint operators with the help of double operator integrals. We are studying the problem to find conditions on a function $f$ on ${\Bbb R}^2$, for which the map $(A,B)\mapsto f(A,B)$ is Lipschitz in…

A certain generalization of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics beyond operator algebras is considered. The approach is based on the concept of conditional probability and the interpretation of the Lueders - von Neumann quantum…

The orthocomplemented modular lattice of subspaces L[H(d)], of a quantum system with d- dimensional Hilbert space H(d), is considered. A generalized additivity relation which holds for Kolmogorov probabilities, is violated by quantum…

We prove that the Hilbert space description of all joint von Neumann measurements on a quantum state can be reproduced in terms of a single measure space ({\Omega}, F, {\mu}) with a normalized real-valued measure {\mu}, that is, in terms of…

Quantum relations in the sense of Weaver are $M'$-bimodules, for a von Neumann algebra $M$, these generalising actual relations on a set $X$ when $M=\ell^\infty(X)$. Similarly, relations between two sets can be generalised as bimodules over…
