A new type of local-check additive quantum code is presented. Qubits are associated with edges of a 2-dimensional lattice whereas the stabilizer operators correspond to the faces and the vertices. The boundary of the lattice consists of…
We generalize the notion of Lagrangian subspaces to self-orthogonal subspaces with respect to a (skew-)symmetric form, thus characterizing (skew-)self-adjoint and unitary operators by means of self-ortho-gonal subspaces. By orthogonality…
We study the Schr\"odinger operators ${H}_{\lambda\mu}(K)$ with $K\in\mathbb{T}^2$ being the fixed quasimomentum of a pair of particles, associated with a system of two arbitrary particles on a two-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with…
Gauge theories on manifolds with spatial boundaries are studied. It is shown that observables localized at the boundaries (edge observables) can occur in such models irrespective of the dimensionality of spacetime. The intimate connection…
The structure of a new family of factorised $S$-matrix theories with resonance poles is reviewed. They are conjectured to correspond to the Homogeneous sine-Gordon theories associated with simply laced compact Lie groups. Two of their more…
In many physical applications, bound states and/or resonances are observed, which raises the question whether these states are elementary or composite. Here we elaborate on several methods for calculating the compositeness $X$ of bound…
The anti self-adjoint operators of imaginary coordinate and momentum, together with the self-adjoint operators of real coordinate, momentum, energy and time are used in construction of the quantum field theory in operator form. This…
Braiding operators can be used to create entangled states out of product states, thus establishing a correspondence between topological and quantum entanglement. This is well-known for maximally entangled Bell and GHZ states and their…
Coherent-state representations are a standard tool to deal with continuous-variable systems, as they allow one to efficiently visualize quantum states in phase space. Here, we work out an alternative basis consisting of monomials on the…
We consider the path integral of a quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime with fixed boundary values (for the elementary fields) on asymptotic boundaries. We define and study the corresponding boundary correlation functions obtained by…
The position operator (defined within the Schroedinger representation in the standard way) becomes meaningless when periodic boundary conditions are adopted for the wavefunction, as usual in condensed matter physics. We show how to define…
Resonances are of particular importance to the scattering of composite particles in quantum mechanics. We build an effective field theory for two-body scattering which includes a low-energy $S$-wave resonance. Our starting point is the most…
General approach to the multiplication or adjoint operation of $2\times 2$ block operator matrices with unbounded entries are founded. Furthermore, criteria for self-adjointness of block operator matrices based on their entry operators are…
Using the concept of intrinsic metric on a locally finite weighted graph, we give sufficient conditions for the magnetic Schr\"odinger operator to be essentially self-adjoint. The present paper is an extension of some recent results proven…
We propose using smeared boundary states $e^{-\tau H}|\cal B\rangle$ as variational approximations to the ground state of a conformal field theory deformed by relevant bulk operators. This is motivated by recent studies of quantum quenches…
We consider symmetric operators of the form $S := A\otimes I_{\mathfrak T} + I_{\mathfrak H} \otimes T$ where $A$ is symmetric and $T = T^*$ is (in general) unbounded. Such operators naturally arise in problems of simulating point contacts…
The massless bosonic field compactified on the circle of rational $R^2$ is reexamined in the presense of boundaries. A particular class of models corresponding to $R^2=\frac{1}{2k}$ is distinguished by demanding the existence of a…
We use renormalization group methods to study composite operators existing at a boundary of an interacting conformal field theory. In particular we relate the data on boundary operators to short-distance (near-boundary) divergences of bulk…
The purpose of the paper is to study the foundations of the main axioms of Quantum Mechanics. From a general study of the mathematical properties of the models used in Physics to represent systems, we prove that the states of a system can…
We establish a relation between topological and quantum entanglement for a multi-qubit state by considering the unitary representations of the Artin braid group. We construct topological operators that can entangle multi-qubit state. In…
