Non-local properties of symmetric two-qubit states are quantified in terms of a complete set of entanglement invariants. We prove that negative values of some of the invariants are signatures of quantum entanglement. This leads us to…
In this thesis, we have investigated the spreading of quantum correlations in isolated lattice models with short- or long-range interactions driven far from equilibrium via sudden global quenches. A general theoretical approach relying on a…
The subject of this paper is the study of convolution semigroups of states on a locally compact quantum group, generalising classical families of distributions of a L\'{e}vy process on a locally compact group. In particular a definitive…
We study deterministic and quantum dynamics from a constructive "finite" point of view, since the introduction of a continuum, or other actual infinities in physics poses serious conceptual and technical difficulties, without any need for…
We analyze a natural C*-algebraic definition of G-quasi-invariant states for the automorphic action of a compact group G. We prove that, given a G-quasi-invariant state with central support, when the action of the group G commutes with the…
Quantum computation can proceed solely through single-qubit measurements on an appropriate quantum state, such as the ground state of an interacting many-body system. We investigate a simple spin-lattice system based on the cluster-state…
We prove new concentration inequalities for quantum spin systems which apply to any local observable measured on any product state or on any state with exponentially decaying correlations. Our results do not require the spins to be arranged…
We show in two simple examples that for one-dimensional quantum chains with quantum group symmetries, the correlation functions of local operators are, in general, infrared divergent. If one considers, however, correlation functions…
Single-spin measurements on the ground state of an interacting spin lattice can be used to perform a quantum computation. We show how such measurements can mimic renormalization group transformations and remove the short-ranged variations…
A spin network is a generalization of a knot or link: a graph embedded in space, with edges labelled by representations of a Lie group, and vertices labelled by intertwining operators. Such objects play an important role in 3-dimensional…
For any translation-invariant quantum lattice system with a symmetry group G, we propose a practical and universal construction of order parameters which identify quantum phase transitions with symmetry-breaking order. They are defined in…
Quantum theory puts forward phenomena unexplainable by classical physics - or information, for that matter. A prominent example is non-locality. Non-local correlations cannot be explained, in classical terms, by shared information but only…
We elucidate the requirements for quantum operations that achieve environment-assisted invariance (envariance), a symmetry of entanglement. While envariance has traditionally been studied within the framework of local unitary operations, we…
Quantum networks are an integral component in performing efficient computation and communication tasks that are not accessible using classical systems. A key aspect in designing an effective and scalable quantum network is generating…
We investigate translation actions of countable dense subgroups of non-unimodular locally compact second countable (lcsc) groups. Using left-right actions, we show that the left translation action $\Gamma \curvearrowright G$ given by a…
For a (unital) $C^*$-algebra $\cla$, we construct a $C^*$-algebraic discrete quantum group (DQG) $\clq_{\rm aut}(\cla)$, coacting on $\cla$, which is a quantum generalization of ${\text Aut}(\cla)$ in the framework of discrete quantum…
A group of non-uniform quantum lattice Hamiltonians in one dimension is introduced, which is related to the hyperbolic $1 + 1$-dimensional space. The Hamiltonians contain only nearest neighbor interactions whose strength is proportional to…
A number of interesting features of the ground states of quantum spin chains are analized with the help of a functional integral representation of the system's equilibrium states. Methods of general applicability are introduced in the…
Motivated by some recent results of quantum control theory, we discuss the feasibility of local operator control in arrays of interacting qubits modeled as isotropic Heisenberg spin chains. Acting on one of the end spins, we aim at finding…
The notion of locality semigroups was recently introduced with motivation from locality in convex geometry and quantum field theory. We show that there is a natural correspondence between locality sets and quivers which leads to a concrete…
