For one-qubit pure quantum states, it is already proved that the Voronoi diagrams with respect to two distances -- Euclidean distance and the quantum divergence -- coincide. This fact is a support for a known method to calculate the Holevo…
1-qubit quantum states form a space called the three-dimensional Bloch ball. To compute Holevo capacity, Voronoi diagrams in the Bloch ball with respect to the quantum divergence have been used as a powerful tool. These diagrams basically…

A Voronoi diagram is a basic geometric structure that partitions the space into regions associated with a given set of sites, such that all points in a region are closer to the corresponding site than to all other sites. While being…
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…

Voronoi diagrams appear in many areas in science and technology and have numerous applications. They have been the subject of extensive investigation during the last decades. Roughly speaking, they are a certain decomposition of a given…
The computational power of quantum computers poses major challenges to new design tools since representing pure quantum states typically requires exponentially large memory. As shown previously, decision diagrams can reduce these memory…
We revisit a new type of a Voronoi diagram, in which distance is measured from a point to a pair of points. We consider a few more such distance functions, based on geometric primitives, and analyze the structure and complexity of the…
Multi-qubit quantum states corresponding to bipartite graphs $G(U,V,E)$ are examined. These states are constructed by applying $CNOT$ gates to an arbitrary separable multi-qubit quantum state. The entanglement distance of the resulting…
We show that there is genuine quantum chaos despite that quantum dynamics is linear. This is revealed by introducing a physical distance between two quantum states. Qualitatively different from existing distances for quantum states, for…
We present "Diagrams of States", a way to graphically represent and analyze how quantum information is elaborated during the execution of quantum circuits. This introductory tutorial illustrates the basics, providing useful examples of…
Perfect state transfer between qubits on a uniformly coupled network, with interactions specified by a graph, has advantages over an engineered chain, such as much faster transfer times (independent of the distance between the input and…
We describe conditions under which an appropriately-defined anisotropic Voronoi diagram of a set of sites in Euclidean space is guaranteed to be composed of connected cells in any number of dimensions. These conditions are natural for…
There has been much work in the recent past in developing the idea of quantum geometry to characterize and understand the structure of many-particle states. For mean-field states, the quantum geometry has been defined and analysed in terms…
The Voronoi diagram of a finite set of objects is a fundamental geometric structure that subdivides the embedding space into regions, each region consisting of the points that are closer to a given object than to the others. We may define…
We analyse the problem of finding sets of quantum states that can be deterministically discriminated. From a geometric point of view this problem is equivalent to that of embedding a simplex of points whose distances are maximal with…
In this thesis we study sets of points in the plane and their Voronoi diagrams, in particular when the points coincide. We bring together two ways of studying point sets that have received a lot of attention in recent years: Voronoi…
