We study the topological properties of attractors of Iterated Function Systems (I.F.S.) on the real line, consisting of affine maps of homogeneous contraction ratio. These maps define what we call a second generation I.F.S.: they are…
We consider the problem of constructing quantum operations or channels, if they exist, that transform a given set of quantum states $\{\rho_1, \dots, \rho_k\}$ to another such set $\{\hat\rho_1, \dots, \hat\rho_k\}$. In other words, we must…
According to the stochastic-quantum correspondence, a quantum system can be understood as a stochastic process unfolding in an old-fashioned configuration space based on ordinary notions of probability and `indivisible' stochastic laws,…
We present an overview of the role of generating functions in quantum mechanical contexts, mainly in the modern theory of polarization and in the study of quantum phase transitions. Generating functions enable the derivation of moments and…
This paper introduces Fourier duality for a class of affine iterated function systems (IFS) T_i. These systems are determined by a finite family of contractive affine maps in R^d. Our Fourier duality applies to the resulting probability…
Quantum optimization algorithms hold the promise of solving classically hard, discrete optimization problems in practice. The requirement of encoding such problems in a Hamiltonian realized with a finite -- and currently small -- number of…
The Fourier coefficient map is considered as an operator from a weighted Lorentz space on the circle to a weighted Lorentz sequence space. For a large range of Lorentz indices, necessary and sufficient conditions on the weights are given…

We describe some basic results for Quantum Stochastic Processes and present some new results about a certain class of processes which are associated to Quantum Iterated Function Systems (QIFS). We discuss questions related to the Markov…
Random sets are used to get a continuous partition of the cardinality of the union of many overlapping sets. The formalism uses M\"obius transforms and adapts Shapley's methodology in cooperative game theory, into the context of set theory.…
In this paper, a modified formulation of generalized probabilistic theories that will always give rise to the structure of Hilbert space of quantum mechanics, in any finite outcome space, is presented and the guidelines to how to extend…
The basic notions of quantum mechanics are formulated in terms of separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. In terms of the Hilbert lattice $\mathcal{L}$ of closed linear subspaces of $\mathcal{H}$ the notions of state and…
The natural Hilbert Space of quantum particles can implement maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of classical information. The 'Quantum Product Algorithm' (QPA) is computed on a Factor Graph, where function nodes are unitary matrix operations…
We describe a method to perform functional operations on probability distributions of random variables. The method uses reproducing kernel Hilbert space representations of probability distributions, and it is applicable to all operations…
The aim of this paper is to establish some results regarding Infinite Iterated Function Systems with the help of the Tarski-Kantorovitch fixed-point principles for maps on partially ordered sets. To this end we introduce two new classes of…
The Bloch sphere representation is a geometric model for all possible quantum states of a two-level system that can be used to describe the time dynamics of a qubit. As explicit application, we consider the time dynamics of a particle in a…
A general theory of matrix-spherical functions for dual Hopf algebras and right coideal subalgebras is developed. We establish their existence and define their orthogonality relations. When specialized to Kolb and Letzter's quantum…
This work is based on a description of quantum reference frames that seems more basic than others in the literature. Here a frame is based on a set of real and of complex numbers and a space time as a 4-tuple of the real numbers. There are…
In two recent papers by the author, a new approach was suggested for quantising space-time, or space. This involved developing a procedure for quantising a system whose configuration space--or history-theory analogue--is the set of objects,…
We consider diffusive systems, regarded as input/output systems with a kernel given as the Fourier--Borel transform of a measure in the left half-plane. Associated with these are a family of weighted Hankel integral operators, and we…
