In this paper we study the expansions of real numbers in positive and negative real base as introduced by R\'enyi, and Ito & Sadahiro, respectively. In particular, we compare the sets $\mathbb{Z}_\beta^+$ and $\mathbb{Z}_{-\beta}$ of…
In a previous paper with the same title, we gave an upper bound for the exponent of uniform rational approximation to a quadruple of $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly independent real numbers in geometric progression. Here, we explain why this upper…
We argue that the imaginary parts of the anomalous dimensions in the multiparticle sectors of heavy quark effective field theory may be removed by a suitable redefinition of the multiparticle states. The connection between the imaginary…
Border bases are traditionally restricted to 0-dimensional ideals due to the finiteness of the underlying order ideal. In this paper we extend the theory to homogeneous ideals of positive Krull dimension by introducing homogeneous border…
Starting from a small number of well-motivated axioms, we derive a unique definition of sums with a noninteger number of addends. These "fractional sums" have properties that generalize well-known classical sum identities in a natural way.…
Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[n]{a})$ be an extension of degree $n$ of the field $\Q$ of rational numbers, where the integer $a$ is such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$ either $p\nmid a$ or the highest power of $p$ dividing $a$ is coprime to…
We discuss the usefulness of quantum cloning and present examples of quantum computation tasks for which cloning offers an advantage which cannot be matched by any approach that does not resort to it. In these quantum computations, we need…
Quantum Computing is a new and exciting field at the intersection of mathematics, computer science and physics. It concerns a utilization of quantum mechanics to improve the efficiency of computation. Here we present a gentle introduction…
A new kind of numbers called Hyper Space Complex Numbers and its algebras are defined and proved. It is with good properties as the classic Complex Numbers, such as expressed in coordinates, triangular and exponent forms and following the…
This article comprises a review of both the quasi-probability representations of infinite-dimensional quantum theory (including the Wigner function) and the more recently defined quasi-probability representations of finite-dimensional…
A method to combine two quantum error-correcting codes is presented. Even when starting with additive codes, the resulting code might be non-additive. Furthermore, the notion of the erasure space is introduced which gives a full…
Complex numbers are widely used in both classical and quantum physics, and play an important role in describing quantum systems and their dynamical behavior. In this paper we study several measures of imaginarity of quantum states in the…
We consider the complex $\nu$ plane structure of the associated Legendre function of the second kind $Q^{-1/2-K}_{\nu}(\cosh\rho)$. We find that for any noninteger value for $K$ $Q^{-1/2-K}_{\nu}(\cosh\rho)$ has an infinite number of poles…
Let Q be a non-singular quadratic form with integer coefficients. When Q is indefinite we provide new upper bounds for the least non-trivial integral solution to the equation Q=0. When Q is positive definite we provide improved upper bounds…

We first consider a method of centering and a change of variable formula for a quantum integral. We then present three types of quantum integrals. The first considers the expectation of the number of heads in $n$ flips of a "quantum coin".…
The representation of numbers in rational base $p/q$ was introduced in 2008 by Akiyama, Frougny & Sakarovitch, with a special focus on the case $p/q=3/2$. Unnoticed since then, natural questions related to representations in that specific…
Let $n$ be the maximal nilpotent subalgebra of a simple complex Lie algebra $g$. We introduce the notion of imaginary vector in the dual canonical basis of $U_q(n)$, and we give examples of such vectors for types $A_n (n\ge 5)$, $B_n (n\ge…
We present experimental results on the effects of using quantum or 'truly' random numbers, as opposed to pseudorandom numbers, in a system that exhibits computational creativity (given its ability to compose original chess problems). The…
