We investigate the existence and geometric properties of special hyperhermitian metrics. First of all, we characterise hypercomplex structures with Obata holonomy in $\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{H})$ in terms of the existence of quaternionic…
We investigate the quantum properties of superpositions of oppositely squeezed states, which can be regarded as Schrodinger cat states. Compared with conventional coherent-state cat states, these states exhibit distinct photon-number…
This is a review of the geometry of quantum states using elementary methods and pictures. Quantum states are represented by a convex body, often in high dimensions. In the case of n-qubits, the dimension is exponentially large in n. The…
A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated…

As a toy model for the microscopic description of matter in de Sitter space, we consider a Hamiltonian acting on the spin-j representation of SU(2). This is a model with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, from which quasinormal modes…
Supersymmetric ground state wave functions of a model of supersymmetric quantum mechanics on $S^1$ (supersymmetric simple pendulum) are studied. Supersymmetry can be broken due to the existence of an undetermined parameter, which is…
Hyperuniform states of matter are correlated systems that are characterized by an anomalous suppression of long-wavelength (i.e., large-length-scale) density fluctuations compared to those found in garden-variety disordered systems, such as…
A few decades ago, quantum optics stood out as a new domain of physics by exhibiting states of light with no classical equivalent. The first investigations concerned single photons, squeezed states, twin beams and EPR states, that involve…
Negativity in a quasiprobability representation is typically interpreted as an indication of nonclassical behavior. However, this does not preclude states that are non-negative from exhibiting phenomena typically associated with quantum…
In this work, we examine one two-parameter family of sets consisting of functions holomorphic in the unit disk, previously investigated by several mathematicians. We focus on the set-theoretic properties of this family, identify the general…
In this paper, we investigate a large class of generalized hypergeometric states $|p,q,z\rangle$, depending on a complex variable $z$ and two sets of parameters, $(a_1,\cdots,a_p)$ and $(b_1,\cdots,b_q)$. Even and odd generalized…

A generalized formulation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics is developed within multidimensional geometric (NG) frameworks characterized by a power-law dispersion relation \(E \propto |p|^{j}\), where \(j = N - 1\). Starting from the…
The geometrical description of a Hilbert space asociated with a quantum system considers a Hermitian tensor to describe the scalar inner product of vectors which are now described by vector fields. The real part of this tensor represents a…

An important challenge in loop quantum gravity is to find semiclassical states - states that are as close to classical as quantum theory allows. This is difficult because the states in the Hilbert space used in LQG are excitations over a…
