A Hamiltonian operator $\hat H$ is constructed with the property that if the eigenfunctions obey a suitable boundary condition, then the associated eigenvalues correspond to the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The classical…
Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…
Let $\Delta_{\Omega_\varepsilon}$ be the Dirichlet Laplacian in the domain $\Omega_\varepsilon:=\Omega\setminus\left(\cup_i D_{i \varepsilon}\right)$. Here $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\{D_{i \varepsilon}\}_{i}$ is a family of tiny…
By a theorem of Gordon and Hedenmalm, $\varphi$ generates a bounded composition operator on the Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}^2$ of Dirichlet series $\sum_n b_n n^{-s}$ with square-summable coefficients $b_n$ if and only if $\varphi(s)=c_0…
We present a systematic perturbative construction of the most general metric operator (and positive-definite inner product) for quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians of the standard form, H= p^2/2 + v(x), in one dimension. We show that this problem…
Motivated by the recent developments of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we analyze the structure generated by unbounded metric operators in a Hilbert space. To that effect, we consider the notions of similarity and quasi-similarity…
We consider the problems of testing and learning an unknown $n$-qubit Hamiltonian $H$ from queries to its evolution operator $e^{-iHt}$ under the normalized Frobenius norm. We prove: 1. Local Hamiltonians: We give a tolerant testing…
Let $A$ and $B$ be local operators in Hamiltonian quantum systems with $N $ degrees of freedom and finite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that the commutator norm $\lVert [A(t),B]\rVert$ is upper bounded by a topological combinatorial…
We investigate the local preservation of $A$-orthogonality at a point by $A$-bounded operators within the semi-Hilbertian framework induced by a positive operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}.$ We provide complete characterizations of…
To determine the Hilbert space and inner product for a quantum theory defined by a non-Hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian $H$, it is necessary to construct a new time-independent observable operator called $C$. It has recently…
A quasi-Hermitian operator is an operator that is similar to its adjoint in some sense, via a metric operator, i.e., a strictly positive self-adjoint operator. Whereas those metric operators are in general assumed to be bounded, we analyze…
The $k$-local Hamiltonian problem is a central model for quantum many-body systems and Hamiltonian complexity. Semidefinite programming and noncommutative sum-of-squares hierarchies provide systematic certificates for ground-state energies,…

Hamiltonian learning protocols are essential tools to benchmark quantum computers and simulators. Yet rigorous methods for time-dependent Hamiltonians and Lindbladians remain scarce despite their wide use. We close this gap by learning the…
Predicting observables in equilibrium states is a central yet notoriously hard question in quantum many-body systems. In the physically relevant thermodynamic limit, certain mathematical formulations of this task have even been shown to…
The local Hamiltonian problem consists of estimating the ground-state energy (given by the minimum eigenvalue) of a local quantum Hamiltonian. First, we show the existence of a good product-state approximation for the ground-state energy of…
We study the existence and characterization properties of compact Hermitian operators C on a separable Hilbert space H such that ||C|| is less or equal than || C + D ||, for all D in D(K(H)). This property is equivalent to || C || =…
Recent sampling theorems allow for the recovery of operators with bandlimited Kohn-Nirenberg symbols from their response to a single discretely supported identifier signal. The available results are inherently non-local. For example, we…
This paper establishes several new inequalities for the $A$-norm and $A$-numerical radius of operator sums in semi-Hilbertian spaces, significantly advancing the existing theory. We present two fundamental refinements of the generalized…
We explore the relationship between approximate symmetries of a gapped Hamiltonian and the structure of its ground space. We start by showing that approximate symmetry operators---unitary operators whose commutators with the Hamiltonian…
