We study the extreme points of the convex set $\mathcal{C}(\rho_1,\rho_2)$ of bipartite quantum states with fixed marginals $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$. We construct extreme points in $(d,\,d+m)$ dimension, of rank $d+m$, matching the highest…

Estimating the unitarity of an unknown quantum channel $\mathcal{E}$ provides information on how much it is unitary, which is a basic and important problem in quantum device certification and benchmarking. Unitarity estimation can be…

Entanglement and entanglement-assisted are useful resources to enhance the mutual information of the Pauli channels, when the noise on consecutive uses of the channel has some partial correlations. In this Paper, we study…

We study Mandelbrot's percolation process in dimension $d \geq 2$. The process generates random fractal sets by an iterative procedure which starts by dividing the unit cube $[0,1]^d$ in $N^d$ subcubes, and independently retaining or…

The colored Tverberg theorem asserts that for every d and r there exists t=t(d,r) such that for every set C in R^d of cardinality (d+1)t, partitioned into t-point subsets C_1,C_2,...,C_{d+1} (which we think of as color classes; e.g., the…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number $d$ can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction $\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,...,d_{k}],$ with all partial quotients $d_1,d_2,...,d_{k}$…

We consider $m$-divisible non-crossing partitions of $\{1,2,\ldots,mn\}$ with the property that for some $t\leq n$ no block contains more than one of the first $t$ integers. We give a closed formula for the number of multi-chains of such…

As a guiding example, the diffraction measure of a random local mixture of the two classic Fibonacci substitutions is determined and reanalysed via self-similar measures of Hutchinson type, defined by a finite family of contractions. Our…

We show that multipartite entanglement can be used as an efficient way of identifying the critical points of 1+1D systems. We demonstrate this with the quantum Ising model, lattice $\lambda \phi^4$ approximated with qutrits, and arrays of…

We prove a conjecture that classifies exceptional numbers. This conjecture arises in two different ways, from cryptography and from coding theory. An odd integer $t\geq 3$ is said to be exceptional if $f(x)=x^t$ is APN (Almost Perfect…

We establish dimensional thresholds for dot product sets associated with compact subsets of translated paraboloids. Specifically, we prove that when the dimension of such a subset exceeds $ \frac{5}{4} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{4} $ in…

Let $d\equiv 2\pmod 4$ be a square-free integer such that $x^2 - dy^2 =- 1$ and $x^2 - dy^2 = 6$ are solvable in integers. We prove the existence of infinitely many quadruples in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{d}]$ with the property $D(n)$ when $n \in…

We show that the length of a qubit-qutrit separable state is equal to the max(r,s), where r is the rank of the state and s is the rank of its partial transpose. We refer to the ordered pair (r,s) as the birank of this state. We also…

Certifying the correct functioning of a unitary channel is a critical step toward reliable quantum information processing. In this work, we investigate the query complexity of the unitary channel certification task: testing whether a given…

A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every positive integer has a unique decomposition as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers. Such decompositions exist more generally, and much is known about them. First, for any positive…

In 1935, in a paper entitled "Can quantum-mechanical description of reality be considered complete?", Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) formulated an apparent paradox of quantum theory. They considered two quantum systems that were…

We conjecture a geometric criterion for determining whether supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in certain string backgrounds. These backgrounds contain wrapped branes at Calabi-Yau singularites with obstructions to deformation of the…

A notion of entangled Markov chain was introduced by Accardi and Fidaleo in the context of quantum random walk. They proved that, in the finite dimensional case, the corresponding states have vanishing entropy density, but they did not…

We show that the spectral gap problem is undecidable. Specifically, we construct families of translationally-invariant, nearest-neighbour Hamiltonians on a 2D square lattice of d-level quantum systems (d constant), for which determining…

A basic theoretical framework is developed in which elementary particles have a component of their wave function extending into higher spatial dimensions. This model postulates an extension of the Schrodinger equation to include a 4th and…
