We explore the relation between classical and quantum states in both open and closed (super)strings discussing the relevance of coherent states as a semiclassical approximation. For the closed string sector a gauge-fixing of the residual…
An operational probabilistic theory where all systems are classical, and all pure states of composite systems are entangled, is constructed. The theory is endowed with a rule for composing an arbitrary number of systems, and with a…
We formulate a relation between quantum-mechanical coherent states and complex-differentiable structures on the classical phase space ${\cal C}$ of a finite number of degrees of freedom. Locally-defined coherent states parametrised by the…
This work is an enquiry into the circumstances under which entropy methods can give an answer to the questions of both quantum separability and classical correlations of a composite state. Several entropy functionals are employed to examine…
We provide a systematic classification of multiparticle entanglement in terms of equivalence classes of states under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC). We show that such an SLOCC equivalency class of states is…
We consider the scaling of entanglement entropy in random Projected Entangled Pairs States (PEPS) with an internal symmetry given by a finite group G. We systematically demonstrate a correspondence between this entanglement entropy and the…
This article introduces strongly proximal continuous (s.p.c.) functions, strong proximal equivalence (s.p.e.) and strong connectedness. A main result is that if topological spaces $X,Y$ are endowed with compatible strong proximities and…
The subject of this thesis are various properties of quantum states that make them "non-classical" and their behaviour under unitary operations. In chapter 2 some basic concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum information are reviewed. In…
Simple joint measurements of pairs of observables reveal that states considered universally as classical-like, such as SU(2) spin coherent states, Glauber coherent states, and thermal states are actually nonclassical. We show that this…
Quantum entanglement describes superposition states in multi-dimensional systems, at least two partite, which cannot be factorized and are thus non-separable. Non-separable states exist also in classical theories involving vector spaces. In…
The concept of typed topological space is introduced, for which open sets in a topology on a finite set will be assigned types (from lattice). The neighborhood system of a point, the closure and the connectedness can be defined according to…
Notions of robust and "classical" states for an open quantum system are introduced and discussed in the framework of the isometric-sweeping decomposition of trace class operators. Using the predictability sieve proposed by Zurek,…
We consider experimental routes to determine the nonclassical degree of states of a field mode. We adopt a distance-type criterium based on the Hilbert-Schmidt metric to quantify the nonclassicality. The concept of nonclassical degree is…
We show that the concept of topological order, introduced to describe ordered quantum systems which cannot be classified by broken symmetries, also applies to classical systems. Starting from a specific example, we show how to use pure…
We present general mappings between classical spin systems and quantum physics. More precisely, we show how to express partition functions and correlation functions of arbitrary classical spin models as inner products between quantum…
We present a bisimulation relation for neighbourhood spaces, a generalisation of topological spaces. We show that this notion, path preserving bisimulation, preserves formulas of the spatial logic SLCS. We then use this preservation result…
We analyze entanglement in the family of translationally-invariant matrix product states (MPS). We give a criterion to determine when two states can be transformed into each other by SLOCC transformations, a central question in entanglement…
We present a new set of inseparabilty inequalities to detect entanglement in $N$-spin states. These are based on negative partial transposition and involve collective spin-spin correlations of any two partitions of the entire system. They…
We introduce a topology on the space of all isomorphism types represented in a given class of countable models, and use this topology as an aid in classifying the isomorphism types. This mixes ideas from effective descriptive set theory and…
It is shown that separation conditions (separation curves) are fundamental objects of separability theory. They are used for the classification of certain clases of separable systems, for the proof of bi-Hamiltonian property and finally…
