We continue here to study simple matrix models of quantum mechanical Hamiltonians. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions were associated energy levels and wave functions. Whereas previously we considered the weak coupling limits of our models,…
When two or more subsystems of a quantum system interact with each other they can become entangled. In this case the individual subsystems can no longer be described as pure quantum states. For systems with only 2 subsystems this…
We analyze a general bipartite-like representation of arbitrary pure states of $N$ indistinguishable particles, valid for both bosons and fermions, based on $M$- and $(N-M)$-particle states. It leads to exact $(M,N-M)$ Schmidt-like…
The baryon-antibaryon asymmetry (excess of matter over antimatter in our Universe), indicated by observational data from the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies, predictions of primordial Nucleosynthesis, and the absence of intense…
This paper exploits the connection between the quantum many-particle density of states and the partitioning of an integer in number theory. For $N$ bosons in a one dimensional harmonic oscillator potential, it is well known that the…
Bilayer quantum Hall states have been shown to be described by a BCS-paired state of composite fermions. However, finding a qualitatively accurate model state valid across all values of the bilayer separation is challenging. Here, we…
Optimization of quantum states using the variational principle has recently seen an upsurge due to developments of increasingly expressive wave functions. In order to improve on the accuracy of the ans\"atze, it is a time-honored strategy…
We find a set of the exact eigenfunctions which provide the energy spectrum for the quantum $N$-body Calogero-Sutherland model for fermions or bosons with SU($\nu$) spin degrees of freedom moving in a harmonic confinement potential. The…
In quantum information W states are a central class of multipartite entangled states because of their robustness against noise and use in many quantum processes. Their generation however remains a demanding task whose difficulty increases…
The solution to a problem in quantum mechanics is generally a linear superposition of states. The solutions for double well potentials epitomize this property, and go even further than this: they can often be described by an effective model…
We exhibit an orthogonal set of product states of two three-state particles that nevertheless cannot be reliably distinguished by a pair of separated observers ignorant of which of the states has been presented to them, even if the…
We consider a composite particle formed by two fermions or two bosons. We discover that composite behavior is deeply related to the quantum entanglement between the constituent particles. By analyzing the properties of creation and…
We construct many-body scar states in multi-flavour fermionic lattice models that possess strong magnetic or superconducting correlations of a given type specified by a unitary matrix $A$. One of the states maximizes the one-point…
An intrinsic wavefunction with a broken continuous symmetry can be rotated with no energy penalty leading to an infinite set of degenerate states known as a Goldstone manifold. In this work, we show that a dual representation of such…
One of the key manifestations of quantum mechanics is the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. While the entanglement of bipartite systems is already well understood, our knowledge of entanglement in multipartite systems is still limited.…
We study the approximability of computing the partition functions of two-state spin systems. The problem is parameterized by a $2\times 2$ symmetric matrix. Previous results on this problem were restricted either to the case where the…
Using the symmetry properties of the three-anyon spectrum, we obtain exactly the multiplicities of states with given energy and angular momentum. The results are shown to be in agreement with the proper quantum mechanical and semiclassical…
We study the perturbative large-$N$ expansion of the round three-sphere partition function in a class of M2-brane theories, including flavored SYM and ABJM theories as well as more general 3d theories admitting dual $(p,q)$ 5-brane web…
From the perspective of quantum information theory, a system so simple as one restricted to just two nonorthogonal states can be surprisingly rich in physics. In this paper, we explore the extent of this statement through a review of three…
Perhaps the quantum state represents information about reality, and not reality directly. Wave function collapse is then possibly no more mysterious than a Bayesian update of a probability distribution given new data. We consider models for…
