Spherical Manifold in Quantum Evolution

Aalok Pandya, Ashok Kumar Nagawat

In this paper, the projective geometry is used to describe the features of spherical manifold and discreteness in quantum evolution. As a system evolves in time the state vector changes and it traces out a curve in Hilbert space. Geometrically, the evolution is represented as a closed curve in the projective Hilbert space. In recent times many attempts have been made to describe 'length', 'distance', and 'geometric phases' and also 'parallel transport'and symplectic geometry in various ways in the projective Hilbert space, during quantum evolution. It is shown in this paper that for the quantum evolution in ray space, spherical manifold and features of discreteness can be described geometrically.

Geometric phase in open two-level system

Zhisong Wang, L. C. Kwek, C. H Lai +1 more

A mapping is established in connecting density matrices, associated with an evolution of a quantum open system, with vector ray in a complex projective Hilbert space. By using the corresponding vector ray to represent the open two-level system, we may observe the geometric phase for the open two-level system. The geometric phase of the open two-level system depends only on the smooth (open or closed) curve in the complex projective Hilbert space of ray, which is formulated entirely in terms of geometric structures on this space.

All Quantum Probability viewed in Complex Projective Geometry

Stephen Bruce Sontz

In a recent paper it was shown that all the Hilbert space formulas for quantum probabilities can be realized as functions of geometric properties of the associated projective space, but those functions were expressed using the structures of the associated Hilbert space. In this paper a direct description of all these probabilities is given as formulas involving only the geometric properties of the projective space itself without referring to the associated Hilbert space theory. In large part this depends on a projection theorem for complex projective space which is analogous to the projection theorem for Hilbert spaces. The importance of this is that this exhibits quantum probability in terms of the geometry of a Riemannian metric in a non-linear Kähler manifold without any reference to a linear Hilbert space. As such this is a part of a larger program of the geometrization of physics. This opens the possibility of generalizations of quantum theory in other similar geometric settings. The theory presented includes projective spaces of both finite and infinite dimension. Some comments explain how quantum theory based on a von Neumann algebra is compatible with this approach.

Geometry of projective Hilbert space

Alexander N. Grigorenko

Geodesic equations determined by the metric in a projective Hilbert space openP are found. It is shown that connections in the tangent bundle over openP consistent with these geodesics can be introduced. A connection with zero torsion is proposed. Quantum-system dynamics follows the geodesics of another connection which is found for the case of the constant Hamiltonian. A set of geometrical quantities is defined, conserved by a quantum evolution.
