In the Hilbert space of n qubits, we introduce the symplectic space (n odd) and the orthogonal space (n even) via the spin-flip operator. Under this mathematical structure we discuss some properties of n qubits, including homomorphically…

Symplectic integrators evolve dynamical systems according to modified Hamiltonians whose error terms are also well-defined Hamiltonians. The error of the algorithm is the sum of each error Hamiltonian's perturbation on the exact solution.…

Many force-gradient explicit symplectic integration algorithms have been designed for the Hamiltonian $H=T (\mathbf{p})+V(\mathbf{q})$ with kinetic energy $T(\mathbf{p})=\mathbf{p}^2/2$ in the existing references. When the force-gradient…

Simulations of purely self-gravitating N-body systems are often used in astrophysics and cosmology to study the collisionless limit of such systems. Their results for macroscopic quantities should then converge well for sufficiently large…
