A gauge-invariant Wigner quantum mechanical theory is obtained by applying the Weyl-Stratonovich transform to the von Neumann equation for the density matrix. The transform reduces to the Weyl transform in the electrostatic limit, when the…

General quantum measurements are represented by instruments. In this paper the mathematical formalization is given of the idea that an instrument is a channel which accepts a quantum state as input and produces a probability and an a…

The rapid growth of automated and autonomous instrumentations brings forth an opportunity for the co-orchestration of multimodal tools, equipped with multiple sequential detection methods, or several characterization tools to explore…

Quantum measurement and quantum operation theory is developed here by taking the relational properties among quantum systems, instead of the independent properties of a quantum system, as the most fundamental elements. By studying how the…

In this article we reconsider a version of quantum trajectory theory based on the stochastic Schr\"odinger equation with stochastic coefficients, which was mathematically introduced in the '90s, and we develop it in order to describe the…

Measurement incompatibility--the impossibility of jointly measuring certain quantum observables--is a fundamental resource for quantum information processing. We develop a graph-theoretic framework for quantifying this resource for large…

In quantum mechanics, the selfadjoint Hilbert space operators play a triple role as observables, generators of the dynamical groups and statistical operators defining the mixed states. One might expect that this is typical of Hilbert space…

We introduce Quantum Time-Frequency Analysis, which expands the approach of Quantum Harmonic Analysis to include modulations of operators in addition to translations. This is done by a projective representation of double-phase space, and we…

Gauge-invariant observables for quantum gravity are described, with explicit constructions given primarily to leading order in Newton's constant, analogous to and extending constructions first given by Dirac in quantum electrodynamics.…

This article is an introduction to our recent work in harmonic analysis associated with semigroups of operators, in the effort of finding a noncommutative Calder\'on-Zygmund theory for von Neumann algebras. The classical CZ theory has been…

The main goal of this work is to introduce an analogous in the non-archimedean context of the Gelfand spaces of certain Banach commutative algebras with unit. In order to do that, we study the spectrum of this algebras and we show that,…

Two of the most common interpretations of quantum measurement disagree about the fate of quantum amplitudes after measurement, yet this disagreement has not previously led to experimentally distinguishable predictions. In the standard…

Quantum integrable spin chains are known to possess a large family of long-range deformations generated by the local, boost and bilocal operators. Although these deformations are well-understood on the level of the pairwise commuting…

We present a hierarchical viewpoint on the operator-algebraic formulation of quantum systems, in which $C^{*}$-algebras are responsible for the universal and intrinsic description, whereas von Neumann algebras provide the detailed account…

In textbooks, ideal quantum measurements are described in terms of the tested system only by the collapse postulate and Born's rule. This level of description offers a rather flexible position for the interpretation of quantum mechanics.…

A new (in)finite dimensional algebra which is a fundamental dynamical symmetry of a large class of (continuum or lattice) quantum integrable models is introduced and studied in details. Finite dimensional representations are constructed and…

We introduce an elementary measure of non-commutativity between two algebras of quantum operators acting on the same Hilbert space. This quantity, which we call Mutual Averaged Non-commutativity (MAN), is a simple generalization of a type…

The origin of non-classical correlations is difficult to identify since the uncertainty principle requires that information obtained about one observable invariably results in the disturbance of any other non-commuting observable. Here,…

To elucidate ideal measurements, one must explain how individual events emerge from quantum theory which deals with statistical ensembles, and how different may end up with different final states. This so-called "measurement problem" is…
