We develop a compositional framework for generalized reversible computing using copy-discard categories and resource theories. We introduce partitioned matrices between partitioned sets as subdistribution matrices which preserve the…
The fundamental impasses and ruptures in various domains of the canonical, unitary science, or the 'end of science', become the more and more evident. The natural unity of being is recovered within a universal nonperturbative method leading…
In recent work, Benjamin Schumacher and Michael~D. Westmoreland investigate a version of quantum mechanics which they call "modal quantum theory" but which we prefer to call "discrete quantum theory". This theory is obtained by…
We introduce and study a novel class of classical integrable many-body systems obtained by generalized $T\bar{T}$-deformations of free particles. Deformation terms are bilinears in densities and currents for the continuum of charges…
Following an article by John von Neumann on infinite tensor products, we develop the idea that the usual formalism of quantum mechanics, associated with unitary equivalence of representations, stops working when countable infinities of…
Quantum computation is frequently mischaracterized as the simultaneous execution of exponentially many classical computations. This article offers a conceptual clarification of why this ``branchwise parallelism'' picture is misleading,…
Given a representation of a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, together with a bounded linear map $V:\mathcal{K}\to\mathcal{H}$ from some other Hilbert space, one obtains a completely positive map on…
We sketch the semiclassical core of a proof of the so-called Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture: A dynamical system with full classical chaos has a quantum energy spectrum with universal fluctuations on the scale of the mean level spacing.…
We present a term rewriting system that models the dynamic aspects of the free cornering with protocol choice of a monoidal category, which has been proposed as a categorical model of process interaction. This term rewriting system is…
We investigate the possibility that the semiclassical limit of quantum mechanics might be correctly described by a classical dynamical theory, other than standard classical mechanics. Using a set of classicality criteria proposed in a…
We show that for a given finitely generated group, its Bernoulli shift space can be equivariantly embedded as a subset of a space of pointed trees with Gromov-Hausdorff metric and natural partial action of a free group. Since the latter can…
Representation of classical dynamics by unitary transformations has been used to develop unified description of hybrid classical-quantum systems with particular type of interaction, and to formulate abstract systems interpolating between…
For a finite dimensional discrete bipartite system, we find the relation between local projections performed by Alice, and Bob post-selected state dependence on the global state submatrices. With this result the joint state reconstruction…
We study the problem of constructing a general hybrid quantum-classical bracket from a partial classical limit of a full quantum bracket. Introducing a hybrid composition product, we show that such a bracket is the commutator of that…
Universal features of chaotic quantum dynamics underlie our understanding of thermalization in closed quantum systems and the complexity of quantum computations. Reversible automaton circuits, comprised of classical logic gates, have…
Classical and quantum physics represent two distinct theories; however, quantum physics is regarded as the more fundamental of the two. It is posited that classical mechanics should arise from quantum mechanics under certain limiting…
The effective classical/quantum dynamics of a particle constrained on a closed line embedded in a higher dimensional configuration space is analyzed. By considering explicit examples it is shown how different reduction mechanisms produce…
In many instances in first order logic or computable algebra, classical theorems show that many problems are undecidable for general structures, but become decidable if some rigidity is imposed on the structure. For example, the set of…
We consider the problem of constraining a particle to a submanifold Sigma of configuration space using a sequence of increasing potentials. We compare the classical and quantum versions of this procedure. This leads to new results in both…
We unify Brownian motion and quantum mechanics in a single mathematical framework. In particular, we show that non-relativistic quantum mechanics of a single spinless particle on a flat space can be described by a Wiener process that is…
