Perturbed Hamming weight problems serve as examples of optimization instances for which the adiabatic algorithm provably out performs classical simulated annealing. In this work we study the efficiency of the adiabatic algorithm for solving…

Adiabatic quantum computation provides an alternative approach to quantum computation using a time-dependent Hamiltonian. The time evolution of entanglement during the adiabatic quantum search algorithm is studied, and its relevance as a…

Using the path-integral formalism, we generalize the 't Hooft-Veltman method of unitary regulators to put forward a framework for finite, alternative quantum theories to a given quantum field theory. Feynman-like rules of such a finite,…

We consider the deformations of a supersymmetric quantum field theory by adding spacetime-dependent terms to the action. We propose to describe the renormalization of such deformations in terms of some cohomological invariants, a class of…

We investigate the irreconcilability issue that raises in translating the search algorithm from the Continuous-Time Quantum Walk (CTQW) framework to the Adiabatic Quantum Computing (AQC) framework. For the AQC formulation to evolve along…

We review and develop a mathematical framework for nonlocal quantum field theory (QFT) with a fundamental length. As an instructive example, we reexamine the normal ordered Gaussian function of a free field and find the primitive…

Consider an open quantum system governed by a Gorini, Kossakowski, Sudarshan, Lindblad (GKSL) master equation with two times-scales: a fast one, exponentially converging towards a linear subspace of quasi-equilibria; a slow one resulting…

We provide a detailed analysis of the classical and quantized theory of a multiplet of inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon fields, which couple to the spacetime metric and also to an external source term; thus the solutions form an affine space.…

We introduce a modified model where h-dependent artificial interface conditions, occurring at the boundary of an interaction region, allow to obtain adiabatic approximations for the relevant resonant states connected to the quantum…

Quantum algorithms are prominent in the pursuit of achieving quantum advantage in various computational tasks. However, addressing challenges, such as limited qubit coherence and high error rate in near-term devices, requires extensive…

Various types of Lagrange and Finsler geometries and the Einstein gravity theory, and modifications, can be modelled by nonholonomic distributions on tangent bundles/ manifolds when the fundamental geometric objects are adapted to nonlinear…

We shall revisit the conventional adiabatic or Markov approximation, showing its intrinsic failure in describing the proper quantum-mechanical evolution of a generic subsystem interacting with its environment. In particular, we shall show…

A deformation of the Landau problem based on a modification of Fock algebra is considered. Systems with Hamiltonians f(H) where H is the Landau Hamiltonian in the lowest level are discussed. The case $f(H) = {\alpha} H + b H^2$ is studied…

We discuss a toy model for adiabatic quantum computation which displays some phenomenological properties expected in more realistic implementations. This model has two free parameters: the adiabatic evolution parameter $s$ and the $\alpha$…

In his famous 1981 talk, Feynman proposed that unlike classical computers, which would presumably experience an exponential slowdown when simulating quantum phenomena, a universal quantum simulator would not. An ideal quantum simulator…

Inspired by the theory of p-adic differential equations, this paper introduces an analogous theory for q-difference equations over a local field, when |q|=1. We define some basic concepts, for instance the generic radius of convergence,…

In this paper we study up to which extent we can apply adiabatic control strategies to a quantum control model obtained by rotating wave approximation. In particular, we show that, under suitable assumptions on the asymptotic regime between…

Feynman's circuit-to-Hamiltonian construction connects quantum computation and ground states of many-body quantum systems. Kitaev applied this construction to demonstrate QMA-completeness of the local Hamiltonian problem, and Aharanov et…

This is the first in a series of papers on an attempt to understand quantum field theory mathematically. In this paper we shall introduce and study BV QFT algebra and BV QFT as the proto-algebraic model of quantum field theory by exploiting…

The Atiyah-Singer index theorem on a closed manifold is well understood and appreciated in physics. On the other hand, the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index, which is an extension to a manifold with boundary, is physicist-unfriendly, in that it is…
