Abstract

We reconstruct finite-dimensional quantum theory with superselection rules, which can describe hybrid quantum-classical systems, from four purely operational postulates: symmetric sharpness, complete mixing, filtering, and local equality. It has been shown that each of the classical and fully quantum theories is singled out by an additional postulate.

Reformulating and Reconstructing Quantum Theory

Lucién Hardy

We provide a reformulation of finite dimensional quantum theory in the circuit framework in terms of mathematical axioms, and a reconstruction of quantum theory from operational postulates. The mathematical axioms for quantum theory are the following: [Axiom 1] Operations correspond to operators. [Axiom 2] Every complete set of physical operators corresponds to a complete set of operations. The following operational postulates are shown to be equivalent to these mathematical axioms: [P1] Sharpness. Associated with any given pure state is a unique maximal effect giving probability equal to one. This maximal effect does not give probability equal to one for any other pure state. [P2] Information locality. A maximal measurement on a composite system is effected if we perform maximal measurements on each of the components. [P3] Tomographic locality. The state of a composite system can be determined from the statistics collected by making measurements on the components. [P4] Compound permutability. There exists a compound reversible transformation on any system effecting any given permutation of any given maximal set of distinguishable states for that system. [P5] Sturdiness. Filters are non-flattening. Hence, from these postulates we can reconstruct all the usual features of quantum theory: States are represented by positive operators, transformations by completely positive trace non-increasing maps, and effects by positive operators. The Born rule (i.e. the trace rule) for calculating probabilitieso follows. A more detailed abstract is provided in the paper.

On the Origin of Linearity and Unitarity in Quantum Theory

Matt Wilson, Nick Ormrod

We reconstruct the transformations of quantum theory using a physically motivated postulate. This postulate states that transformations should be locally applicable, and recovers the linear isometries from pure quantum theory, as well as the completely positive, trace-preserving maps from mixed quantum theory. Notably, in the pure case, linearity with respect to the superposition rule and reversibility are both derived from this locality principle.

Superselection Rules

K. Kong Wan

For orthodox quantum systems, pure states correspond one-to-one to all one-dimensional subspaces and observables correspond one-to-one to all selfadjoint operators in the state space. A relaxation of this one-to-one correspondence will bring about superselection rules. A general formulation of superselection rules is technically complicated. 1 We shall adopt an intuitive approach here and limit our discussion to some special cases to see how superselection rules can be incorporated in a Hilbert space structure of quantum theory.

Superselection rules, quantum measurement, and the Schrödinger's cat

Kay-Kong Wan

A precise formulation of superselection rules in quantum mechanics is presented. An explicit measurement model is then constructed using the idea of superselection rules so formulated. The model is free from the usual difficulties associated with the projection postulate and it also allows a measurement to be completed within finite time interval.

From Micro to Macro Quantum Systems

K. Kong Wan

Traditional quantum theory has a very rigid structure, making it difficult to accommodate new properties emerging from novel systems. This book presents a flexible and unified theory for physical systems, from micro and macro quantum to classical. This is achieved by incorporating superselection rules and maximal symmetric operators into the theory. The resulting theory is applicable to classical, microscopic quantum and non-orthodox mixed quantum systems of which macroscopic quantum systems are examples. A unified formalism also greatly facilitates the discussion of interactions between these systems. A scheme of quantization by parts is introduced, based on the mathematics of selfadjoint and maximal symmetric extensions of symmetric operators, to describe point interactions. The results are applied to treat superconducting quantum circuits in various configurations.This book also discusses various topics of interest such as the asymptotic treatment of quantum state preparation and quantum measurement, local observables and local values, Schrodinger's cat states in superconducting systems, and a path space formulation of quantum mechanics.This self-contained book is complete with a review of relevant geometric and operator theories, for example, vector fields and operators, symmetric operators and their maximal symmetric extensions, direct integrals of Hilbert spaces and operators.

Reconstruction of quantum theory from universal filters

John van de Wetering

This paper reconstructs quantum theory from operational principles starting from something we dub an effect theory, a generalisation of operational probabilistic theories that does not have any monoidal structure and does not a priori refer to the real numbers, allowing a study of more exotic theories. Our first postulates require the existence of initial filters and final compressions for effects, a variation of the ideal compression axiom of Chiribella et al. (2011). Restricting to the standard operational setting (real probabilities, finite-dimensional) we show that this leads to the existence of spectral decompositions of effects in terms of sharp effects. In the presence of two additional postulates that are relatively standard (composition of pure maps being pure again, and the existence of a transitive symmetry group) we show that the systems must be Euclidean Jordan algebras. Finally we add an observability of energy condition (Barnum et al. 2014) to complete the reconstruction of quantum theory.
