Non-Hermitian (NH) quantum systems demonstrate striking differences from their Hermitian counterparts, leading to claims of NH advantage in areas ranging from metrology to entanglement generation. We show that in the context of quantum…
We prove that the linearity and positivity of quantum mechanics impose general restrictions on quantum purification, unveiling a new fundamental limitation of quantum information processing. In particular, no quantum operation can transform…
It is shown that quantum systems of identical particles can be treated as if they were different when they are in well differentiated states. This simplifying assumption allows the consideration of quantum systems isolated from the rest of…
The foundational studies of the standard, unitary-only quantum theory revolve around the kinematical aspects of quantum entanglement and the improper quantum mixtures. In this paper, we introduce and argue for the foundational character of…
Information-theoretic aspects of quantum inseparability of mixed states are investigated in terms of the $\alpha$-entropy inequalities and teleportation fidelity. Inseparability of mixed states is defined and a complete characterization of…

A discrimination problem consists of $N$ linearly independent pure quantum states $\Phi=\{\ket{\phi_i}\}$ and the corresponding occurrence probabilities $\eta=\{\eta_i\}$. To any such problem we associate, up to a permutation over the…

We study purification dynamics in monitored quantum processes governed by ensembles of quantum circuits in different random-matrix symmetry classes. We analyze the universal aspects that emerge away from the measurement induced phase…
In this paper we consider the purification of a quantum state using the information obtained from a continuous measurement record, where the classical measurement record is digitized to a single bit per measurement after the measurements…
The need for a mathematically rigorous quantization procedure of singular spaces and incomplete motions is pointed out in connection with quantum cosmology. We put our previous suggestion for such a procedure, based on the theory of induced…
A basic property of distinguishability is that it is non-increasing under further quantum operations. Following this, we generalize two measures of distinguishability of pure states--fidelity and von Neumann entropy, to mixed states as…
If the unitary quantum mechanical state evolution is universally valid, quantized systems evolve uniformly, deterministically, and reversible; that is, one-to-one. Hence, what is considered an irreversible measurement might be a purely…
As is well known, quantum mechanical behavior cannot, in general, be simulated by a local hidden variables model. Most -if not all- the proofs of this incompatibility refer to the correlations which arise when each of two (or more) systems…
Essential to the description of a quantum system are its local degrees of freedom, which enable the interpretation of subsystems and dynamics in the Hilbert space. While a choice of local tensor factorization of the Hilbert space is often…
Any set of pure states living in an given Hilbert space possesses a natural and unique metric --the Haar measure-- on the group $U(N)$ of unitary matrices. However, there is no specific measure induced on the set of eigenvalues $\Delta$ of…
The effect of filtering operation with respect to purification and concentration of entanglement in quantum states are discussed in this paper. It is shown, through examples, that the local action of the filtering operator on a part of the…

Following Hawking, it is usual to mimic the effect of collapse space-time geometry on quantum fields in a semi-classical approximation by imposing suitable boundary conditions at the origin of coordinates, which effectively becomes a moving…
