Classical and quantum aspects of physical systems that can be described by Riemannian non degenerate superspaces are analyzed from the topological and geometrical points of view. For the N=1 case the simplest supermetric introduced in…
The SU(2) Wigner function represents a quantum state of a spin-$J$ as a real-valued function on the surface of a 2-sphere. For an ensemble of $N$ spin-1/2 particles, this representation is useful when the dynamics is restricted to a single…
A relation is established in the present paper between Dicke states in a d-dimensional space and vectors in the representation space of a generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra of finite dimension d. This provides a natural way to deal with…
There are six different mathematical formulations of the symmetry group in quantum mechanics, among them the set of pure states $\mathbf{P}$ -- i.e., the set of one-dimensional projections on a complex Hilbert space $H$ -- and the…
We demonstrate coherent manipulation of the nuclear degrees of freedom of ultracold ground-state strontium 87 atoms, thus providing a toolkit for fully exploiting the corresponding large Hilbert space as a quantum resource and for quantum…
Exploiting inherent symmetries is a common and effective approach to speed up the simulation of quantum systems. However, efficiently accounting for non-Abelian symmetries, such as the $SU(2)$ total-spin symmetry, remains a major challenge.…
