An algorithm for quantum computing Hamiltonian cycles of simple, cubic, bipartite graphs is discussed. It is shown that it is possible to evolve a quantum computer into an entanglement of states which map onto the set of all possible paths…
Plasmons are fundamental excitations of metals which can be described in terms of electron dynamics, or in terms of the electromagnetic fields associated with them. In this work we develop a quantum description of plasmons in a double layer…
The Hamiltonian for a spin zero particle that is confined to a curve embedded in the 3D space is constructed by squeezing the coordinates spanning a tube normal to the curve onto the curve assuming strong normal forces. We follow the new…
We present the formulation of the problem of the coherent dynamics of quantum mechanical two-level systems in the adiabatic region in terms of the differential geometry of plane curves. We show that there is a natural plane curve…
The presence of localized boundary modes is an unambiguous hallmark of topological quantum matter. While these modes are typically protected by topological invariants such as the Chern number, here we demonstrate that the {\it quantum…
We show that qubits traveling along closed timelike curves are a resource that a party can exploit to distinguish perfectly any set of quantum states. As a result, an adversary with access to closed timelike curves can break any…
Quantum theory has the property of "local tomography": the state of any composite system can be reconstructed from the statistics of measurements on the individual components. In this respect the holism of quantum theory is limited. We…
For mathematical models of quantum wave guides we show that in some situations two interacting particles can be trapped more easily than a single particle. In particular, we give an example of a wave guide that can not bind a single…
The properties which give quantum mechanics its unique character - unitarity, complementarity, non-commutativity, uncertainty, nonlocality - derive from the algebraic structure of Hermitian operators acting on the wavefunction in complex…
We study steady-states of quantum Markovian processes whose evolution is described by local Lindbladians. We assume that the Lindbladian is gapped and satisfies quantum detailed balance with respect to a unique full-rank steady state…
Topological quantum states cannot be created from product states with local quantum circuits of constant depth and are in this sense more entangled than topologically trivial states, but how entangled are they? Here we quantify the…
We study two interacting quantum particles forming a bound state in $d$-dimensional free space, and constrain the particles in $k$ directions to $(0,\infty)^k \times \mathbb{R}^{d-k}$, with Neumann boundary conditions. First, we prove that…
We study quantum mechanics on a curved wire by approximating the physics around the curved region by three parameters coming from the boundary conditions given by the two interval Sturm-Liouville theory. Since the geometric potential on a…
The local Donaldson-Thomas theory of curves is solved by localization and degeneration methods. The results complete a triangle of equivalences relating Gromov-Witten theory, Donaldson-Thomas theory, and the quantum cohomology of the…
We construct quantum models of two particles on a compact metric graph with singular two-particle interactions. The Hamiltonians are self-adjoint realisations of Laplacians acting on functions defined on pairs of edges in such a way that…
A fundamental problem in quantum physics is to establish whether a multiparticle quantum state can be uniquely determined from its local marginals. In theory, this problem has been addressed in the exact case where the marginals are…
Locally convex compact immersed hypersurfaces in Finsler-Hadamard manifolds with bounded T-curvature are considered. We prove that such hypersurfaces are embedded as the boundary of convex body under certain conditions on the normal…
We construct bosonic and fermionic locally covariant quantum field theories on curved backgrounds for large classes of fields. We investigate the quantum field and n-point functions induced by suitable states.
We consider a particle with a position-dependent mass, moving in a three-dimensional semi-infinite parallelepipedal or cylindrical channel under the influence of some hyperbolic potential. We show that the lack of uniformity in the…
We describe a quantum particle constrained on a catenoid, employing an effective description of quantum mechanics based on expected values of observables and quantum dispersions. We obtain semiclassical trajectories for particles,…
