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…

We study the norms of the Bloch vectors for arbitrary $n$-partite quantum states. A tight upper bound of the norms is derived for $n$-partite systems with different individual dimensions. These upper bounds are used to deal with the…

We consider the scattering matrices of massive quantum field theories with no bound states and a global $O(N)$ symmetry in two spacetime dimensions. In particular we explore the space of two-to-two S-matrices of particles of mass $m$…

We provide a one-to-one map between the spin correlations and certain three-dimensional shapes, analogous to the map between single spins and Bloch vectors, and demonstrate its utility. Much as one can reason geometrically about dynamics…

Quantum mechanics imposes a lower bound on the time required for a quantum system to reach certain given targets. In this paper, from a geometric perspective, we introduce a new quantum speed limit (QSL) based on the Bloch angle and derive…

This paper presents an introduction to geometric representations of quantum states in which each distinct quantum state, pure and mixed, corresponds to a unique point in a Euclidean space. Beginning with a review of some underappreciated…

A set $C$ of unit vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called an $L$-spherical code if $x \cdot y \in L$ for any distinct $x,y$ in $C$. Spherical codes have been extensively studied since their introduction in the 1970's by Delsarte, Goethals and…

Understanding the evolution of a multi-qubit quantum system, or elucidating what portion of the Hilbert space is occupied by a quantum dataset becomes increasingly hard with the number of qubits. In this context, the visualisation of sets…
