Quantum geometry of the Cartan control problem

General Physics 2008-10-20 v1

Abstract

The Cartan control problem of the quantum circuits discussed from the differential geometry point of view. Abstract unitary transformations of SU(2n)SU(2^n) are realized physically in the projective Hilbert state space CP(2n1)CP(2^n-1) of the n-qubit system. Therefore the Cartan decomposition of the algebra AlgSU(2n1)AlgSU(2^n-1) into orthogonal subspaces hh and bb such that [h,h]h,[b,b]h,[b,h]b[h,h] \subseteq h, [b,b] \subseteq h, [b,h] \subseteq b is state-dependent and thus requires the representation in the local coordinates.
