We consider a two-chain, spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin ladder in an external magnetic field H. The spin ladder is known to undergo second order quantum phase transitions (QPTs) at two critical values, Hc1 and Hc2, of the…
We present an uncertainty-relation-type quantum benchmark for continuous-variable (CV) quantum channels that works with an input ensemble of Gaussian distributed coherent states and homodyne measurements. It determines an optimal trade-off…
We consider a quantum channel acting on an infinite dimensional von Neumann algebra of operators on a separable Hilbert space. When there exists an invariant normal faithful state, the cyclic properties of such channels are investigated…
Consider $v$ a Lipschitz unit vector field on $R^n$ and $K$ its Lipschitz constant. We show that the maps $S_s:S_s(X) = X + sv(X)$ are invertible for $0\leq |s|<1/K$ and define nonsingular point transformations. We use these properties to…
It is shown that `bipartite' wave functions can present a mathematical formalism of quantum theory for a single particle, in which the associated Schr\"{o}dinger's wave functions correspond to those `bipartite' wave functions of product…
Interferometers capture a basic mystery of quantum mechanics: a single particle can exhibit wave behavior, yet that wave behavior disappears when one tries to determine the particle's path inside the interferometer. This idea has been…
Current experimental data indicate that two unitarity triangles of the CKM quark flavor mixing matrix V are almost the right triangles with \alpha \approx 90^\circ. We find that \alpha = 90^\circ actually points to {\rm…
In this work, we study two different approaches to defining the entropy of a quantum channel. One of these is based on the von Neumann entropy of the corresponding Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski state. The second one is based on the relative entropy…
We prove that the Bruno-R{\"u}ssmann condition is optimal for the analytic preservation of a quasi-periodic invariant curve for an analytic twist map. The proof is based on Yoccoz's corresponding result for analytic circle diffeomorphisms…
In the problem of binary quantum channel discrimination with product inputs, the supremum of all type II error exponents for which the optimal type I errors go to zero is equal to the Umegaki channel relative entropy, while the infimum of…
We prove continuous-valued analogues of the basic fact that Murray-von Neumann subequivalence of projections in II$_1$ factors is completely determined by tracial evaluations. We moreover use this result to solve the so-called trace problem…
The classical randomization criterion is an important result of statistical decision theory. Recently, a quantum analogue has been proposed, giving equivalent conditions for two sets of quantum states, ensuring existence of a quantum…
For a Hamiltonian $K \in C^2(\mathbb{R}^{N \times n})$ and a map $u:\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$, we consider the supremal functional \[ \label{1} \tag{1} E_\infty (u,\Omega) \ :=\…
This paper establishes the correctness of a conjecture of Bertram-Feinberg and Mukai for a special class of globally generated rank-two bundles with canonical determinant over a generic Riemann surface of genus at least four.
A unital completely positive map governing the time evolution of a quantum system is usually called a quantum channel, and it can be represented by a tuple of operators which are then referred to as the Kraus operators of the channel. We…
In 1974, Erd\H{o}s and Kleitman conjectured that if a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ contains no matching of size \(s\) and is maximal with respect to this property, then $ |\mathcal{F}|\ge \left(1-2^{-(s-1)}\right)\cdot 2^{n}. $ For…
Degradable quantum channels are among the only channels whose quantum and private classical capacities are known. As such, determining the structure of these channels is a pressing open question in quantum information theory. We give a…
Non-relativistic quantum particles bounded to a curve in R^2 by attractive contact $\delta$-interaction are considered. The interval between the energy of the transversal bound state and zero is shown to belong to the absolutely continuous…
We prove a local Faber-Krahn inequality for solutions $u$ to the Dirichlet problem for $\Delta + V$ on an arbitrary domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Suppose a solution $u$ assumes a global maximum at some point $x_0 \in \Omega$ and…
Let $\Phi$ be a unital positive linear map and let $A$ be a positive invertible operator. We prove that there exist partial isometries $U$ and $V$ such that \[ |\Phi(f(A))\Phi(A)\Phi(g(A))|\leq U^*\Phi(f(A)Ag(A))U \] and…
