Let X be a real or complex Hilbert space of finite but large dimension d, let S(X) denote the unit sphere of X, and let u denote the normalized uniform measure on S(X). For a finite subset B of S(X), we may test whether it is approximately…

In this short note we present a far generalization of the following very well-known assertion: assume that we have two orthonormal sequences in a Hilbert space and these sequences are quadratically close to each other. Then if one of these…

We prove that any non-complete orthonormal system in a Hilbert space can be transformed into a basis by small perturbations.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We show that a unit rational space vector whose multiple by $n$ is an integer vector can be extended to a rational orthonormal basis whose all members have the same property.

Most algorithms constructing bases of finite-dimensional vector spaces return basis vectors which, apart from orthogonality, do not show any special properties. While every basis is sufficient to define the vector space, not all bases are…

This article presents a simple characterization for entangled vectors in a finite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. The characterization is in terms of the coefficients of an expansion of the vector relative to an orthonormal basis for $H$.…

A simple proof is provided to show that any bounded normal operator on a real Hilbert space is orthogonally equivalent to its transpose(adjoint). A structure theorem for invertible skew-symmetric operators, which is analogous to the finite…

I prove that a Hilbert space has the property that each of its dense (not necessarily closed) subspaces contains an orthoormal basis if and only if it is separable.

A family of regularization functionals is said to admit a linear representer theorem if every member of the family admits minimizers that lie in a fixed finite dimensional subspace. A recent characterization states that a general class of…

For any finite dimensional Hilbert space, we construct explicitly five orthonormal bases such that the corresponding measurements allow for efficient tomography of an arbitrary pure quantum state. This means that such measurements can be…

Let H be a Hilbert space and let F be the family of all countable subsets of an orthonormal basis of H. We show that if F is infinite then F is equipollent with every linear basis of the vector space H. In doing so we also present a short…

It is widely accepted that the states of any quantum system are vectors in a Hilbert space. Not everyone agrees, however. The recent paper ``The unphysicality of Hilbert spaces'' by Carcassi, Calder\'on and Aidala is a thoughtful dissection…

We establish three impossibility results regarding our knowledge of the quantum state of the universe. Suppose the universal quantum state is a typical unit vector in a high-dimensional subspace $\mathscr{H}_0$ of Hilbert space…

According to the "Hilbert Space Fundamentalism" Thesis, all features of a physical system, including the 3D-space, a preferred basis, and factorization into subsystems, uniquely emerge from the state vector and the Hamiltonian alone. I give…

We show that every frame for a Hilbert space H can be written as a (multiple of a) sum of three orthonormal bases for H. A result of N.J. Kalton is included which shows that this is best possible in that: A frame can be represented as a…

A finite-dimensional Hilbert space is usually described in terms of an orthonormal basis, but in certain approaches or applications a description in terms of a finite overcomplete system of vectors, called a finite tight frame, may offer…

Vector coherent states (VCS) viewed as a generalization of ordinary coherent states for higher rank tensor Hilbert spaces are investigated. We consider a systematic way of generating classes of VCS which are solvable (i.e., in the present…

We discuss a general strategy which produces an orthonormal set of vectors, stable under the action of a given set of unitary operators $A_j$, $j=1,2,...,n$, starting from a fixed normalized vector in $\Hil$ and from a set of unitary…

A configuration of lattice vectors is supernormal if it contains a Hilbert basis for every cone spanned by a subset. We study such configurations from various perspectives, including triangulations, integer programming and Groebner bases.…

A new technique for proving fixed point theorems for families of holomorphic transformations of operator balls is developed. One of these theorems is used to show that a bounded representation in a real or complex Hilbert space is…
