We introduce a family of operations in quantum mechanics that one can regard as "universal quantum measurements" (UQMs). These measurements are applicable to all finite-dimensional quantum systems and entail the specification of only a…
In this article, we present what we believe to be a simple way to motivate the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics. To achieve this, we study the way the notion of dimension can, at a very primitive level, be defined as the…
Measurement is of central interest in quantum mechanics as it provides the link between the quantum world and the world of everyday experience. One of the features of the latter is its robust, objective character, contrasting the delicate…
An elementary set of non-Hermitian $N$ by $N$ matrices $H^{(N)}(\lambda) \neq [ H^{(N)}(\lambda)]^\dagger$ with real spectra is considered, assuming that each of these matrices represents a selfadjoint quantum Hamiltonian in an {\it ad hoc}…
In a finite dimensional Hilbert space, each normalized vector (state) can be chosen as a member of an orthonormal basis of the space. We give a proof of this statement in a manner that seems to be more comprehensible for physics students…
Four constructions result from a desire to create enhancements to Cantor's infinite real set cardinality. Each continues to keep Cantor's cardinality formulation in place while providing new comparisons of arbitrary infinite sets. To…
This paper studies Positivstellens\"atze and moment problems for sets $K$ that are given by universal quantifiers. Let $Q$ be a closed set and let $g = (g_1,...,g_s)$ be a tuple of polynomials in two vector variables $x$ and $y$. Then $K$…
In this paper, we study the Whittaker modules for the quantum enveloping algebra $U_q(\sl_3)$ with respect to a fixed Whittaker function. We construct the universal Whittaker module, find all its Whittaker vectors and investigate the…
We intend to investigate the metalogical property of 'omitting types' for a wide variety of quantifier logics (that can also be seen as multimodal logics upon identifying existential quantifiers with modalities syntactically and…
We study a class of hypothesis testing problems in which, upon observing the realization of an $n$-dimensional Gaussian vector, one has to decide whether the vector was drawn from a standard normal distribution or, alternatively, whether…
Let X be a real or complex Hilbert space of finite but large dimension d, let S(X) denote the unit sphere of X, and let u denote the normalized uniform measure on S(X). For a finite subset B of S(X), we may test whether it is approximately…
In this article we construct a compact Riemannian manifold of high dimension on which the time dependent Euler equations are Turing complete. More precisely, the halting of any Turing machine with a given input is equivalent to a certain…
We consider the problem of deciding if a set of quantum one-qudit gates $\mathcal{S}=\{g_1,\ldots,g_n\}\subset G$ is universal, i.e if the closure $\overline{<\mathcal{S}>}$ is equal to $G$, where $G$ is either the special unitary or the…
In this thesis, we study the existence of universal objets of two differents types in the theory of topological groups and theirs actions on compacts spaces. In the first part, we contribute to the problem of existence of test spaces for…
For commutative rings, we introduce the notion of a {\em universal grading}, which can be viewed as the "largest possible grading". While not every commutative ring (or order) has a universal grading, we prove that every {\em reduced order}…
We present a general way to define a topology on orthomodular lattices. We show that in the case of a Hilbert lattice, this topology is equivalent to that induced by the metrics of the corresponding Hilbert space. Moreover, we show that in…
The $n$-dimensional affine group over the integers is the group $\mathcal G_n$ of all affinities on $\mathbb R^{n}$ which leave the lattice $ \mathbb Z^{n}$ invariant. $\mathcal G_n$ yields a geometry in the classical sense of the Erlangen…
Sachs showed that a Boolean algebra is determined by its lattice of subalgebras. We establish the corresponding result for orthomodular lattices. We show that an orthomodular lattice L is determined by its lattice of subalgebras Sub(L), as…
Quantum measurement is universal for quantum computation. This universality allows alternative schemes to the traditional three-step organisation of quantum computation: initial state preparation, unitary transformation, measurement. In…
We study universally valid uncertainty relations in general quantum systems described by general $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebras to foster developing quantitative analysis in quantum systems with infinite degrees of freedom such as…
