Response theory describes the reaction of observales to perturbations in external fields. We review this formalism for quantum fiels in isolation that have unitary time evolution. An emphasis is put on consequences of causality and the…
Nonrelativistic bound states are studied using an effective field theory. Large logarithms in the effective theory can be summed using the velocity renormalization group. For QED, one can determine the structure of the leading and…
We propose a toy-model theory, that mimics various characteristic features of quantum mechanics. Unlike the toy-models previously studied in the literature, our toy-model allows for an observer to have a full knowledge of a system's real…
This thesis provides an introduction to the various category theory ideas employed in topological quantum field theory. These theories are viewed as symmetric monoidal functors from topological cobordism categories into the category of…
We present some results concerning the relative modular operator in semifinite von Neumann algebras. These results allow one to prove some basic formula for trace, to obtain equivalence between Araki's relative entropy and Umegaki's…
Determining the relationship between composite systems and their subsystems is a fundamental problem in quantum physics. In this paper we consider the spectra of a bipartite quantum state and its two marginal states. To each spectrum we can…
We analyzed the results for finite nuclei and infinite nuclear and neutron matter using the standard $\sigma-\omega$ model and with the effective field theory. For the first time, we have shown here quantitatively that the inclusion of…
We pose and solve the problem of quantum filtering based on continuous-in-time quadrature measurements (homodyning) for the case where the quantum process is in a thermal state. The standard construction of quantum filters involves the…
We discuss how to reconstruct quantum theory from operational postulates. In particular, the following postulates are consistent only with for classical probability theory and quantum theory. Logical Sharpness: There is a one-to-one map…
In Quantum Gravity (QG), large moduli values lead to towers of exponentially light states, making the QG cut-off field-dependent. In 4D supersymmetric (SUSY) theories, this cut-off is set by the species scale $\Lambda(z_i, \bar{z}_i)$,…
We propose a conceptual frame to interpret the prolate differential operator, which appears in Communication Theory, as an entropy operator; indeed, we write its expectation values as a sum of terms, each subject to an entropy reading by an…
We review and extend the results of [1] that gives a condition for reducibility of quantum representations of mapping class groups constructed from Reshetikhin-Turaev type topological quantum field theories based on modular categories. This…
For each compact, simple, simply-connected Lie group and each integer level we construct a modular tensor category from a quotient of a certain subcategory of the category of representations of the corresponding quantum group. We determine…
We present an analytical study of the quantum phase transition between the topologically ordered toric-code-model ground state and the disordered spin-polarized state. The phase transition is induced by applying an external magnetic field,…
When the symmetry of a physical theory describing a finite system is deformed by replacing its Lie group by the corresponding quantum group, the operators and state function will lie in a new algebra describing new degrees of freedom. If…
This text studies, on the one hand, certain monotonicity properties of the Araki-Uhlmann relative entropy and, on the other hand, unbounded perturbation theory of KMS-states which facilitates a proof of the two-sided Bogoliubov inequality…
Quantum theory brings into question the compatibility of the twin desiderata of exact knowability of the present state of the physical world and perfect predictability of its future states. Bohr's coordination-causality complementarity…
Modal quantum theory (MQT) is a "toy model" of quantum theory in which amplitudes are elements of a general field. The theory predicts, not the probabilities of a measurement result, but only whether or not a result is possible. In this…
Using the formalism of discrete quantum group gauge theory, one can construct the quantum algebras of observables for the Hamiltonian Chern-Simons model. The resulting moduli algebras provide quantizations of the algebra of functions on the…
A difficulty in quantum logic is the well-known arbitrariness in choosing a binary operation for conditional among three principal candidates called the Sasaki, the contrapositive Sasaki, and the relevance conditional, mainly chosen from…
