The connection between random matrices and the spectral fluctuations of complex quantum systems in a suitable limit can be explained by using the setup of random matrix theory. Higher-order spacing statistics in the $m$ superposed spectra…
We examine how to construct a spatial manifold and its geometry from the entanglement structure of an abstract quantum state in Hilbert space. Given a decomposition of Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ into a tensor product of factors, we…
Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry give rise to exceptional points (EPs) with exceptional properties that arise due to the coalescence of eigenvectors. Such systems have been extensively explored in the…
Many quantum algorithms involve the evaluation of expectation values. Optimal strategies for estimating a single expectation value are known, requiring a number of state preparations that scales with the target error $\varepsilon$ as…
Simulating electronic structure on a quantum computer requires encoding of fermionic systems onto qubits. Common encoding methods transform a fermionic system of $N$ spin-orbitals into an $N$-qubit system, but many of the fermionic…
We propose a scheme for data-driven parameterization of unresolved dimensions of dynamical systems based on the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics and Koopman operator theory. Given a system in which some components of the state…
Exceptional points (EPs), indicative of parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking, play a central role in non-Hermitian physics, yet most studies begin from deliberately engineered effective Hamiltonians whose parameters are tuned to exhibit…
A mixed quantum state is represented by a Hermitian positive semi-definite operator $\rho$ with unit trace. The positivity requirement is responsible for a highly nontrivial geometry of the set of quantum states. A known way to satisfy this…
Dynamic equations concerning physical expectation values have been examined in terms of the real Hilbert space approach to quantum mechanics. The considered cases involve complex wave functions, as well as quaternionic wave functions. The…
We argue that the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole entropy formula does not imply that the entanglement spectrum of the vacuum density matrix of de Sitter space is flat. Specifically, we show that the expectation value of a random…
We consider an open quantum system with Hamiltonian $H_S$ whose spectrum is given by a generalized Fibonacci sequence weakly coupled to a Boson reservoir in equilibrium at inverse temperature $\beta$. We find the generator of the reduced…
A large class of non-Markovian quantum processes in open systems can be formulated through time-local master equations which are not in Lindblad form. It is shown that such processes can be embedded in a Markovian dynamics which involves a…
A conceptual variable is any variable defined by a person or by a group of persons. Such variables may be inaccessible, meaning that they cannot be measured with arbitrary accuracy on the physical system under consideration at any given…
A generalization of the representation underlying the discrete spatial geometry of Loop Quantum Gravity, to accomodate states labelled by smooth spatial geometries, was discovered by Koslowski and further studied by Sahlmann. We show how to…
We study the relationship between operators, orthonormal basis of subspaces and frames of subspaces (also called fusion frames) for a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We get sufficient conditions on an orthonormal basis of subspaces…
We solve a problem, which while not fitting into the usual paradigm, can be viewed as a quantum computation. Suppose we are given a quantum system described by an N dimensional Hilbert space with a Hamiltonian of the form $E |w >< w|$ where…
Let $f$ be a symmetric norm on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ be the set of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ of dimension at least $n$. Define a norm on ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ by…
In this paper, we present an inverse-free pure quantum state estimation protocol that achieves Heisenberg scaling. Specifically, let $\mathcal{H}\cong \mathbb{C}^d$ be a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space with an orthonormal basis…
The question about the existence of so-called ``hidden'' variables in quantum mechanics and the perception of the completeness of quantum mechanics are two sides of the same coin. Quantum analytical mechanics constitutes a completion of…
In certain circumstances, the uncertainty, $\Delta S [\phi]$, of a quantum observable, $S$, can be bounded from below by a finite overall constant $\Delta S>0$, \emph{i.e.}, $\Delta S [\phi] \geq \Delta S$, for all physical states $\phi$.…
