Let $d_1\leq d_2\leq\ldots\leq d_{n\choose 2}$ denote the distances determined by $n$ points in the plane. It is shown that $\min\sum_i (d_{i+1}-d_i)^2=O(n^{-6/7})$, where the minimum is taken over all point sets with minimal distance $d_1…

In this paper, we mainly use classical Hermitian self-orthogonal generalized Reed-Solomon codes to construct two new classes of quantum MDS codes. Most of our quantum MDS codes have minimum distance larger than q/2+1. Compared with…

We propose a geometric method for quantifying the difference between parametrized curves in Euclidean space by introducing a distance function on the space of parametrized curves up to rigid transformations (rotations and translations).…

We discuss the uniqueness of quantum states compatible with given results for measuring a set of observables. For a given pure state, we consider two different types of uniqueness: (1) no other pure state is compatible with the same…

We introduce quantum association schemes. This allows to define distance regular and strongly regular quantum graphs. We bring examples thereof. In addition, we formulate the duality for translation quantum association schemes corresponding…

For Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(x)= F(a,b;c;x),$ $a,b,c>0,$ we consider the quotient $ Q_F(x,y)= (F(x)+F(y))/F(z)$ and the difference $ D_F(x,y)= F(x)+F(y)-F(z)$ for $0<x,y<1$ with $z=x+y-xy \,.$ We give best possible bounds for…

We explore the subtle relationships between partial separability and entanglement of subsystems in multiqubit quantum states and give experimentally accessible conditions that distinguish between various classes and levels of partial…

We study the parabolic variant of the Erd\H os--Falconer distance problem in finite fields. That is, if $q$ is odd, we seek size thresholds beyond which any subset $E\subset \mathbb F_q^2$ will determine many distinct parabolic distances.…

In this paper we develop a technique to extend any bound for the minimum distance of cyclic codes constructed from its defining sets (ds-bounds) to abelian (or multivariate) codes through the notion of $\mathbb{B}$-apparent distance. We use…

We consider some generalization of the theory of quantum states and demonstrate that the consideration of quantum states as sheaves can provide, in principle, more deep understanding of some well-known phenomena. The key ingredients of the…

The quantum-mechanical many-body system with the potential proportional to the pairwise inverse-square distance possesses a strong-weak coupling duality. Based on this duality, particle and/or quasiparticle states are described as SU(1,1)…

In this paper we characterize the distance between the function $f$ and the set $C^{\infty}_{\mathrm{comp}}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ in generalized Morrey spaces $L_{p,\phi}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with variable growth condition. We also prove that the…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^{e}$ elements, where $p$ is a prime number and $e \geq 1$ is an integer. In this paper, by means of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, we construct two new classes of quantum…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $E$ be a set in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. The distance set of $E$ is defined by $\Delta(E):=\{\lVert x-y \rVert :x,y\in E\}$, where $\lVert \alpha \rVert=\alpha_1^2+\dots+\alpha_d^2$. Iosevich,…

We present a quantum theory of distances along a curve, based on a linear line element that is equal to the operator square root of the quadratic metric of Riemannian geometry. Since the linear line element is an operator, we treat it…

Let $\Lambda_s$ denote the inhomogeneous Lipschitz space of order $s\in(0,\infty)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. This article characterizes the distance $d(f, V)_{\Lambda_s}: = \inf_{g\in V} \|f-g\|_{\Lambda_s}$ from a function $f\in \Lambda_s$ to a…

We discuss a pairwise-comparison viewpoint on finite families of qubit states. Starting from transition amplitudes between pure states, we distinguish three associated levels of comparison data: complex amplitudes, transition probabilities,…

We propose a general approach to defining a contractive-like multivalued mappings $F$ which avoids any use of the Hausdorff distance between the sets $F(x)$ and $F(y)$. Various fixed point theorems are proved under a two-parameter control…

Standard quantum mechanics unquestionably violates the separability principle that classical physics (be it point-like analytic, statistical, or field-theoretic) accustomed us to consider as valid. In this paper, quantum nonseparability is…
