Quantum geometry governs a wide range of transport and optical phenomena in quantum materials. Recent works have explored analogue electromagnetism and gravity in terms of the quantum geometric tensor, whose real and imaginary parts…
Convex sets of quantum states and processes play a central role in quantum theory and quantum information. Many important examples of convex sets in quantum theory are spectrahedra, that is, sets of positive operators subject to affine…
We establish explicit quenched asymptotics for pure-jump symmetric L\'evy processes in general Poissonian potentials, which is closely related to large time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the nonlocal parabolic Anderson problem with…
The Einstein action for the gravitational field has some properties which make of it, after quantization, a rare prototype of systems with quantum configurations that do not have a classical analogue. Assuming spherical symmetry in order to…
Let $S(H)$ be the set of all self-adjoint bonded linear operators on $H$ and $\mathcal{V} \subset S(H)$ a subset that is pertinent in mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. A symmetry is a bijective map $\phi :\mathcal{V} \to…
We revisit Wigner's question about the admissible commutation relations for coordinate and velocity operators given their equations of motion (EOM). In more general terms we want to consider the question of how to quantize dynamically…
We propose a framework to study local gauge theories on manifolds with boundaries and asymptotic symmetries, which is based on representing them as so-called gauge PDEs. These objects extend the conventional BV-AKSZ sigma-models to the case…
We obtain the strong asymptotics of polynomials $p_n(\lambda)$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$, orthogonal with respect to measures in the complex plane of the form $$ e^{-N(|\lambda|^{2s}-t\lambda^s-\overline{t\lambda}^s)}dA(\lambda), $$ where $s$…
The aim of this paper is to show a connection between an extended theory of statistical experiments on the one hand and the foundation of quantum theory on the other hand. The main aspects of this extension are: One assumes a hyperparameter…
We represent quantum observables as POVMs (normalized positive operator valued measures) and consider convex sets of observables which are covariant with respect to a unitary representation of a locally compact Abelian symmetry group $G$.…
The light emission from a scanning tunneling microscope operated on a Ag(111) surface at 6 K is analyzed from low conductances to values approaching the conductance quantum. Optical spectra recorded at a sample voltages V reveal emission…
To begin with, some of the conundrums concerning Quantum Mechanics and its interpretation(s) are recalled. Subsequently, a sketch of the "ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics" is presented. This approach yields a logically coherent quantum…
We use geometric measure theory to introduce the notion of asymptotic cones associated with a singular subspace of a Riemannian manifold. This extends the classical notion of asymptotic directions usually defined on smooth submanifolds. We…
A ring with effects (e-ring) is a generalization of the ring of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space and the subsystem of effect operators (positive Hermitian operators dominated by the identity operator). The POV-measures…
We study the role of composite operators in the Asymptotic Safety program for quantum gravity. By including in the effective average action an explicit dependence on new sources we are able to keep track of operators which do not belong to…
We study the problem of separating the data produced by a given quantum measurement (on states from a memoryless source which is unknown except for its average state), described by a positive operator valued measure (POVM), into a…
These lectures introduce the notion of asymptotic observables, which are classes of measurable quantities predicted by quantum field theory. In gapped theories with trivial infrared dynamics, these include scattering amplitudes, expectation…
A general algebraic approach, incorporating both invariance groups and dynamic symmetry algebras, is developed to reveal hidden coherent structures (closed complexes and configurations) in quantum many-body physics models due to symmetries…
We define a positive operator valued measure $E$ on $[0,2\pi]\times R$ describing the measurement of randomly sampled quadratures in quantum homodyne tomography, and we study its probabilistic properties. Moreover, we give a mathematical…
We describe a method of solving quantum field theories using operator techniques based on the expansion of interacting fields in terms of asymptotic fields. For bound states, we introduce an asymptotic field for each (stable) bound state.…
