These are lecture notes of a mini-course given by the first author in Moscow in July 2019, taken by the second author and then edited and expanded by the first author. They were also a basis of the lectures given by the first author at the…

Using methods coming from non-formal equivariant quantization, we construct in this short note a unitary dual 2-cocycle on a discrete family of quotient groups of subgroups of the affine group of a local field (which is not of…

We classify all compact quantum groups whose C*-algebra sits inside that of the free unitary quantum groups $U_{N}^{+}$. In other words, we classify all discrete quantum subgroups of $\widehat{U}_{N}^{+}$, thereby proving a quantum variant…

In a recent paper of Bhowmick, Skalski and So{\l}tan the notion of a quantum group of automorphisms of a finite quantum group was introduced and, for a given finite quantum group G, existence of the universal quantum group acting on G by…

We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the…

Construction of explicit quantum circuits follows the notion of the "standard circuit model" introduced in the solid and profound analysis of elementary gates providing quantum computation. Nevertheless the model is not always optimal (e.g.…

We first give simplified and corrected accounts of some results in \cite{PiRCP} on compactifications of pseudofinite groups. For instance, we use a classical theorem of Turing \cite{Turing} to give a simplified proof that any definable…

We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose $N$-dimensional fundamental representation decomposes into an $(N-1)$-dimensional and a one-dimensional subrepresentation. Even if we know that the compact matrix quantum group associated to…

Given a compact semisimple Lie group $G$ of rank $r$, and a parameter $q>0$, we can define new associativity morphisms in Rep(Gq) using a 3-cocycle $\Phi$ on the dual of the center of G, thus getting a new tensor category Rep(Gq)$^\Phi$.…

In this paper we complete in several aspects the picture of locally compact quantum groups. First of all we give a definition of a locally compact quantum group in the von Neumann algebraic setting and show how to deduce from it a…

The recently introduced $\kappa$-Poincare-Dirac equation is gauged to treat the $\kappa$-Dirac-Coulomb problem. For the resulting equation, we prove that the perturbation to first order in the quantum group parameter vanishes identically.…

We give a general construction for the classical limit of a quantum system defined in terms of generators of an arbitrary compact semisimple Lie algebra, generalizing known results for the $\mathfrak{su}_2$ and $\mathfrak{su}_3$ cases. The…

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the results about classification of quantum groups that were obtained in arXiv:1303.4046 [math.QA] and arXiv:1502.00403 [math.QA].

The cocycle bicrossed product construction allows certain freedom in producing examples of locally compact quantum groups. We give an overview of some recent examples of this kind having remarkable properties.

Finite group extensions offer a natural language to quantum computing. In a nutshell, one roughly describes the action of a quantum computer as consisting of two finite groups of gates: error gates from the general Pauli group P and…

Recent work has demonstrated the existence of universal Hamiltonians - simple spin lattice models that can simulate any other quantum many body system to any desired level of accuracy. Until now proofs of universality have relied on…

Efficiently simulating quantum circuits on classical computers is a fundamental challenge in quantum computing. This paper presents a novel theoretical approach that achieves substantial speedups over existing simulators for a wide class of…

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

Usually the generators of a quantum group are assumed to be commutative with the noncommuting coordinates of a quantum plane. We have relaxed the assumption and investigated its consequences. Not only does a two-parameter quantum group…

It is well known that every finite simple group can be generated by two elements and this leads to a wide range of problems that have been the focus of intensive research in recent years. In this survey article we discuss some of the…
