To measure an observable of a quantum mechanical system leaves it in one of its eigenstates and the result of the measurement is one of its eigenvalues. This process is shown to be a computational resource. It allows one, in principle, to…

Eigenvalue estimates that are optimal in some sense have self-evident appeal and leave estimators with a sense of virtue and economy. So, it is natural that ongoing searches for effective strategies for difficult tasks such as estimating…

Motivated by [9] we study the existence of the inverse of infinite Hermitian moment matrices associated with measures with support on the complex plane. We relate this problem to the asymptotic behaviour of the smallest eigenvalues of…

We prove that the inverse of a positive-definite matrix can be approximated by a weighted-sum of a small number of matrix exponentials. Combining this with a previous result [OSV12], we establish an equivalence between matrix inversion and…

We introduce right eigenvalues and subeigenvalues for square dual complex matrices. An $n \times n$ dual complex Hermitian matrix has exactly $n$ right eigenvalues and subeigenvalues, which are all real. The Hermitian matrix is positive…

We obtain the explicit rate of convergence $N^{-1/2 + \epsilon}$ for the gaps of generalized Wigner matrices in the bulk of the spectrum, for distributions of matrix entries possibly atomic and supported on enough points. The proof proceeds…

We obtain the simplicity of the first Neumann eigenvalue of convex thin domain with boundary in $R^n$ and compact thin manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. For convex thin domain in $R^2$, we get the simplicity of the first k…

An entirely quantum mechanical approach to diagonalize hermitean matrices has been presented recently. Here, the genuinely quantum mechanical approach is considered in detail for (2x2) matrices. The method is based on the measurement of…

We compute the Witten index of one-dimensional gauged linear sigma models with at least ${\mathcal N}=2$ supersymmetry. In the phase where the gauge group is broken to a finite group, the index is expressed as a certain residue integral. It…

The diagonalization of Hermitian supermatrices is studied. Such a change of coordinates is inevitable to find certain structures in random matrix theory. However it still poses serious problems since up to now the calculation of all…

A remarkable mathematical property -- somehow hidden and recently rediscovered -- allows obtaining the eigenvectors of a Hermitian matrix directly from their eigenvalues. That opens the possibility to get the wavefunctions from the…

Analogous to the famous Euler angle parametrization in three-dimensional Euclidean space, a reflection-free Lorentz transformation in (2+1)-dimensional Minkowski space can be decomposed into three simple parts. Applying this decomposition…

We extend several relative perturbation bounds to Hermitian matrices that are possibly singular, and also develop a general class of relative bounds for Hermitian matrices. As a result, corresponding relative bounds for singular values of…
