We study the signalling structure of higher order quantum maps from an order-theoretic perspective, building on the combinatorial characterization of higher order types by Bisio and Perinotti. We have shown in a previous work…
Higher-order quantum theory is an extension of quantum theory where one introduces transformations whose input and output are transformations, thus generalizing the notion of channels and quantum operations. The generalization then goes…
Quantum operations are the most widely used tool in the theory of quantum information processing, representing elementary transformations of quantum states that are composed to form complex quantum circuits. The class of quantum…
In quantum mechanics, often it is important for the representation of quantum system to study the structure-preserving bijective maps of the quantum system. Such maps are also called isomorphisms or automorphisms. In this note, using the…
Quantum supermaps provide a framework in which higher order quantum processes can act on lower order quantum processes. In doing so, they enable the definition and analysis of new quantum protocols and causal structures. Recently, key…
Quantum processes with indefinite causal structure emerge when we wonder which are the most general evolutions, allowed by quantum theory, of a set of local systems which are not assumed to be in any particular causal order. These processes…
Many fundamental and key objects in quantum mechanics are linear mappings between particular affine/linear spaces. This structure includes basic quantum elements such as states, measurements, channels, instruments, non-signalling channels…
In this work we define the trajectory coset of an affine map and use it to study the similarity classes of affine maps. We use the trajectory coset, a tool which allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between geometry…
We investigate a category of quantum posets that generalizes the category of posets and monotone functions. Up to equivalence, its objects are hereditarily atomic von Neumann algebras equipped with quantum partial orders in Weaver's sense.…
We discuss and demonstrate an unsupervised machine-learning procedure to detect topological order in quantum many-body systems. Using a restricted Boltzmann machine to define a variational ansatz for the low-energy spectrum, we sample wave…
For quantum systems described by finite matrices, linear and affine maps of matrices are shown to provide equivalent descriptions of evolution of density matrices for a subsystem caused by unitary Hamiltonian evolution in a larger system;…
We give new quantum algorithms for evaluating composed functions whose inputs may be shared between bottom-level gates. Let $f$ be an $m$-bit Boolean function and consider an $n$-bit function $F$ obtained by applying $f$ to conjunctions of…
We explore the sense in which the existing constructions for higher-order maps on quantum theory based on causality constraints and compositionality constraints respectively, coincide. More precisely, we construct a functor F : Caus(C) ->…
The standard model of quantum circuits assumes operations are applied in a fixed sequential "causal" order. In recent years, the possibility of relaxing this constraint to obtain causally indefinite computations has received significant…
For systems described by finite matrices, an affine form is developed for the maps that describe evolution of density matrices for a quantum system that interacts with another. This is established directly from the Heisenberg picture. It…
We define a higher-order generalisation of the CPM construction based on arbitrary finite abelian group symmetries of symmetric monoidal categories. We show that our new construction is functorial, and that its closure under iteration can…
The goal of this paper is to relate the quantum category $\mathcal{O}$ (known also as the category of modules over the mixed quantum group) at an odd root of unity to the affine Hecke category. Namely, we prove equivalences of highest…
A new higher-order accurate method is proposed that combines the advantages of the classical $p$-version of the FEM on body-fitted meshes with embedded domain methods. A background mesh composed by higher-order Lagrange elements is used.…
There is a well-known bijection between parking functions of a fixed length and maximal chains of the noncrossing partition lattice which we can use to associate to each set of parking functions a poset whose Hasse diagram is the union of…
We find that certain higher-order mappings arise as reductions of the integrable discrete A-type KP (AKP) and B-type KP (BKP) equations. We find conservation laws for the AKP and BKP equations, then we use these conservation laws to derive…
