A quantum expectation is a positive linear functional of norm one on a non-commutative probability space (i.e., a C*-algebra). For a given pair of quantum expectations $\mu$ and $\lambda$ on a non-commutative probability space $A$, we…

We present a systematic perturbative construction of the most general metric operator (and positive-definite inner product) for quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians of the standard form, H= p^2/2 + v(x), in one dimension. We show that this problem…

We develop a natural generalization of vector-valued frame theory, we term operator-valued frame theory, using operator-algebraic methods. This extends work of the second author and D. Han which can be viewed as the multiplicity one case…

Measurement in quantum mechanics is notoriously unpredictable. The uncertainty in quantum measurement can arise from the noncommutativity between the state and the measurement basis which is intrinsically quantum, but it may also be of…

In quantum mechanics, predictions are made by way of calculating expectation values of observables, which take the form of Hermitian operators. It is far less common to exploit non-Hermitian operators to perform measurements. Here, we show…

Let $H$ and $K$ be (finite or infinite dimensional) complex Hilbert spaces. A characterization of positive completely bounded normal linear maps from ${\mathcal B}(H)$ into ${\mathcal B}(K)$ is given, which particularly gives a…

In this paper we present some results concerning Gould integrability of vector functions with respect to a monotone measure on finitely purely atomic measure spaces. As an application a Radon-Nikodym theorem in this setting is obtained.

A geometric approach to formulate the uncertainty principle between quantum observables acting on an $N$-dimensional Hilbert space is proposed. We consider the fidelity between a density operator associated with a quantum system and a…

We investigate the space of quantum operations, as well as the larger space of maps which are positive, but not completely positive. A constructive criterion for decomposability is presented. A certain class of unistochastic operations,…

We consider perturbations of dynamical semigroups on the algebra of all bounded operators in a Hilbert space generated by covariant completely positive measures on the semi-axis. The construction is based upon unbounded linear perturbations…

A conceptual variable is any variable defined by a person or by a group of persons. Such variables may be inaccessible, meaning that they cannot be measured with arbitrary accuracy on the physical system under consideration at any given…

We study how iterated and composed completely positive maps act on operator-valued kernels. Each kernel is realized inside a single Hilbert space where composition corresponds to applying bounded creation operators to feature vectors. This…

We characterize the asymptotic performance of a class of positive operator valued measurements (POVMs) where the only task is to make measurements on independent and identically distributed quantum states on finite-dimensional systems. The…

Understanding the core content of quantum mechanics requires us to disentangle the hidden logical relationships between the postulates of this theory. Here we show that the mathematical structure of quantum measurements, the formula for…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval [0,1). The Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_\mu= (\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\geq0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}= \mu_{n+k}$, where $\mu_n=\int_{ [0,1)}t^nd\mu(t)$, induces formally the operator…

In this paper, we extend the standard formalism of quantum mechanics to a quantum theory for a total system including one internal measuring apparatus. The internality of the measuring apparatus implies that different decomposition of a…

We consider abstract Banach spaces of analytic functions on general bounded domains that satisfy only a minimum number of axioms. We describe all invertible (equivalently, surjective) weighted composition operators acting on such spaces.…

We introduce unbounded strongly irreducible operators and transitive operators. These operators are related to a certain class of indecomposable Hilbert representations of quivers on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. We regard the theory…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0,1)$. The Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_{\mu}=(\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\geq0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}=\mu_{n+k}$, where $\mu_n=\int_{[0,1)}t^{n}d\mu(t)$. For $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_nz^n$ is…

Quantum mechanics in the Rigged Hilbert Space formulation describes quasistationary phenomena mathematically rigorously in terms of Gamow vectors. We show that these vectors exhibit microphysical irreversibility, related to an intrinsic…
