The symmetry SU(2) and its geometric Bloch Sphere rendering are familiar for a qubit (spin-1/2) but extension of symmetries and geometries have been investigated far less for multiple qubits, even just a pair of them, that are central to…
We analyze qubit decoherence in the framework of geometric quantum mechanics. In this framework the qubit density operators are represented by probability distributions which are also the K\"ahler functions on the Bloch sphere.…
A finite shift plane can be equivalently defined via abelian relative difference sets as well as planar functions. In this paper, we present a generic way to construct unitals in finite shift planes of odd orders $q^2$. We investigate…
We discuss a classical complexity of finite-dimensional unitary transformations, which can been seen as a computable approximation of classical descriptional complexity of a unitary transformation acting on a set of qubits.
Let $q\neq \pm 1$ be a complex number of modulus one. This paper deals with the operator relation $AB=qBA$ for self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$ on a Hilbert space. Two classes of well-behaved representations of this relation are studied…
The Hamiltonian operator describing a quantum particle on a path often extends holomorphically to a complex neighborhood of the path. When it does, it can be seen as the local expression of a complex projective structure, and its…
Suppose q is a complex number of modulus one and different from 1,-1. Let O(R^2_q) be the *-algebra with two hermitean generators x and y satisfying the relation xy=qyx. Using operator representations of the *-algebra O(R^2_q) on Hilbert…

Physical constraints such as positivity endow the set of quantum states with a rich geometry if the system dimension is greater than two. To shed some light on the complicated structure of the set of quantum states, we consider a…
Geometric algebra is a mathematical structure that is inherent in any metric vector space, and defined by the requirement that the metric tensor is given by the scalar part of the product of vectors. It provides a natural framework in which…
Conformal mapping may be the best-known topic in complex analysis. Any simply connected nonempty domain $\Omega$ in the complex plane ${{\mathbb{C}}}$ (assuming $\Omega\ne {{\mathbb{C}}}$) can be mapped bijectively to the unit disk by an…
The Hilbert manifold $\Sigma$ consisting of positive invertible (unitized) Hilbert-Schmidt operators has a rich structure and geometry. The geometry of unitary orbits $\Omega\subset \Sigma$ is studied from the topological and metric…

Quantum Iterated Function System on a complex projective space is defined by a family of linear operators on a complex Hilbert space. The operators define both the maps and their probabilities by one algebraic formula. Examples with…
We exploit a well-known isomorphism between complex hermitian $2\times 2$ matrices and $\mathbb{R}^4$, which yields a convenient real vector representation of qubit states. Because these do not need to be normalized we find that they map…
This work concerns a study of the quantum mechanical extension of the work of Horwitz et al. [1] on the stability of classical Hamiltonian systems by geometrical methods. Simulations are carried out for several important examples, these…
The physically allowed quantum evolutions on a single qubit can be described in terms of their geometry. From a simple parameterisation of unital single-qubit channels, the canonical form of all such channels can be given. The related…
Quantum state manipulation of two-qubits on the local systems by special unitaries induces special orthogonal rotations on the Bloch spheres. An exact formula is given for determining the local unitaries for some given rotation on the Bloch…
The Bloch sphere is a familiar and useful geometrical picture of the dynamics of a single spin or two-level system's quantum evolution. The analogous geometrical picture for three-level systems is presented, with several applications. The…
The geometry of the generalized Bloch sphere $\Omega_3$, the state space of a qutrit, is studied. Closed form expressions for $\Omega_3$, its boundary $\partial \Omega_3$, and the set of extremals $\Omega_3^{\rm ext}$ are obtained by use of…
