On the basis that the universe is a closed quantum system with no external observers, we propose a paradigm in which the universe jumps through a series of stages. Each stage is defined by a quantum state, an information content, and rules…
Let $U$ be a point set in the $n$-dimensional affine space ${\rm AG}(n,q)$ over the finite field of $q$ elements and $0\leq k\leq n-2$. In this paper we extend the definition of directions determined by $U$: a $k$-dimensional subspace $S_k$…
We offer a fresh perspective on the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics as a way of thinking about the world described by quantum theory based on quantifiable notions of information. This allows us to provide a definition of a…
In this work, we present a logical formalism for reasoning about quantum systems in finite dimension. Contrary to the usual approach in quantum logic, our formalism is based classical first-order logic, which allows us to use the tools of…
We consider a constructive modification of quantum-mechanical formalism. Replacement of a general unitary group by unitary representations of finite groups makes it possible to reproduce quantum formalism without loss of its empirical…
The canonical Schmidt decomposition of quantum states is discussed and its implementation to the Quantum Computation Simulator is outlined. In particular, the semiorder relation in the space of quantum states induced by the lexicographic…
In this note we introduce and characterize a class of finite groups for which the element orders satisfy a certain inequality. This is contained in some well-known classes of finite groups.
We define a semantics for first-order logic with generalized quantifiers based on double teams. We also define and investigate a notion of a generalized atom. Such atoms can be used in order to define extensions of first-order logic with a…
We examine the dependence of quantization on global properties of a classical system. Quantization based on local properties may lead to ambiguities and inconsistency between local and global symmetries of a quantum system. Our quantization…
The notion of quantized characters is introduced in our previous paper as a natural quantization of characters in the context of asymptotic representation theory for compact quantum groups. As in the case of ordinary groups, the…
This article reviews the history of digital computation, and investigates just how far the concept of computation can be taken. In particular, I address the question of whether the universe itself is in fact a giant computer, and if so,…
A discussion of the meaning of a physical concept cannot be separated from discussion of the conditions for its ideal measurement. We assert that quantization is no more than the invocation of the quantum of action in the explanation of…
We introduce and study a natural class of fields in which certain first-order definable sets are existentially definable, and characterise this class by a number of equivalent conditions. We show that global fields belong to this class, and…
We define natural A_infinity-transformations and construct A_infinity-category of A_infinity-functors. The notion of non-strict units in an A_infinity-category is introduced. The 2-category of (unital) A_infinity-categories, (unital)…
In this lecture, we survey a number of recent results and developments regarding the representation theory of infinite-dimensional quantum groups (quantum affine algebras and related algebras), as well as their connections with cluster…
Contrary to the classical case, the relation between quantum programming languages and quantum Turing Machines (QTM) has not being fully investigated. In particular, there are features of QTMs that have not been exploited, a notable example…
We consider a universe with an arbitrary number of extra dimensions, $N$. We present a new method for constructing the cosmological equations of motion and find analytic solutions with an explicit dependence on $N$. When we take the…
We consider universal aspects of two problems: (i) the slow purification of a large number of qubits by repeated quantum measurements, and (ii) the singular value structure of a product ${m_t m_{t-1}\ldots m_1}$ of many large random…
We provide a complete classification of the singularities of cluster algebras of finite cluster type. This extends our previous work about the case of trivial coefficients. Additionally, we classify the singularities of cluster algebras for…
We investigate the theory of finite observables, i.e., resolutions of the finite-dimensional identity by means of positive operators, that have a physical interpretation in terms of measurement schemes. We focus on extremal and rank-one…
