State representations summarize our knowledge about a system. When unobservable quantities are introduced the state representation is typically no longer unique. However, this non-uniqueness does not affect subsequent inferences based on…
The theory of quantum propagator and time--dependent integrals of motion in quantum optics is reviewed as well as the properties of Wigner function, Q--function, and coherent state representation. Propagators and wave functions of a free…
Given a real-valued phase-space function, it is a nontrivial task to determine whether it corresponds to a Wigner distribution for a physically acceptable quantum state. This topic has been of fundamental interest for long, and in a modern…

We study properties of quantum strategies, which are complete specifications of a given party's actions in any multiple-round interaction involving the exchange of quantum information with one or more other parties. In particular, we focus…
The problem of quantum state discrimination, which is a foundational aspect of quantum information theory, and its relation to the theory of majorization are discussed. The purpose of this study is to review different approaches to the…
Although originally predicted in relativistic quantum mechanics, Zitterbewegung can also appear in some classical systems, which leads to the important question of whether Zitterbewegung of Dirac particles is underlain by a more fundamental…
In the framework of the spatial coherence wavelets, different features of the first-order spatial coherence (Young's interference) are analysed by calculating the corresponding marginal power spectrum, a close related quantity to the…
Two-mode squeezing is central to entangled-photon generation and nonlinear interferometry, yet standard perturbative low-gain treatments and Gaussian formalisms can obscure the interference of photon-number amplitudes, especially in…

We show how the Zak $kq$-representation can be adapted to deal with pseudo-bosons, and under which conditions. Then we use this representation to prove completeness of a discrete set of bi-coherent states constructed by means of…
By resorting to the Fock--Bargmann representation, we incorporate the quantum Weyl--Heisenberg algebra, $q$-WH, into the theory of entire analytic functions. The $q$--WH algebra operators are realized in terms of finite difference operators…
Quantum coherence profoundly alters classical thermodynamic expectations by modifying the structure and accessibility of probability distributions. Classically, transitions to lower-entropy states (local second-law violations) are…
We recast the Podle\`s spheres in the noncommutative physics context by showing that they can be regarded as slices along the time coordinate of the different regions of the quantum Minkowski space-time. The investigation of the…

Quantum algorithms profit from the interference of quantum states in an exponentially large Hilbert space and the fact that unitary transformations on that Hilbert space can be broken down to universal gates that act only on one or two…
Contributions of quantum interference effects occuring in quasicrystals are emphasized. First conversely to metallic systems, quasiperiodic ones are shown to enclose original alterations of their conductive properties while downgrading long…
We study the phase-space concentration of the so-called generalized metaplectic operators whose main examples are Schr\"odinger equations with bounded perturbations. To reach this goal, we perform a so-called $\mathcal{A}$-Wigner analysis…
