We investigate the classical aspects of quantum theory and under which description quantum theory does appear classical. Although such descriptions or variables are known as “ontological” or “hidden,” they are not hidden at all but are dual classical states (in the sense of the general classical–quantum duality of nature). We analyze and interpret the dynamical scenario in an inherent quantum structure: (i) We show that the use of the known ∣φ⟩ states in the circle [F. London, Z. Phys. 37, 915 (1926) and G. ’t Hooft, “The hidden ontological variable in quantum harmonic oscillators,” arXiv 2407.18153 (2024)] takes a true dimension only when the system is subjected to the minimal group representation action of the metaplectic group Mp(n). The Mp(n) Hermitian structure fully covers the symplectic Sp(n) group and, in certain cases, OSp(n). (ii) We compare the circle ∣φ⟩ states and the cylinder ∣ξ⟩ states in configuration space with the two sectors of the full Mp(2) Hilbert space corresponding to the even and odd n harmonic oscillators and their total sum. (iii) We compute the projections of the Mp(2) states on the circle ⟨φ∣ and cylinder ⟨ξ∣ states. The known London circle states are not normalizable. We compute here the general coset coherent states ⟨α,φ∣ in the circle, with α being the coherent complex parameter. It allows full normalizability of the complete set of the circle states. (iv) The London states (ontological in ’t Hooft’s description) completely classicalize the inherent quantum structure only under the action of the Mp(n) minimal group representation. (v) For the coherent states in the cylinder (configuration space), all functions are analytic in thedisk∣z = ω exp(−iφ)∣ < 1.For the general coset coherent states ∣α,φ⟩in the circle,the complex variable isz′ = z exp( −i α∗/2):Theanalyticfunction is modified by the complex phase (φ−α∗/2). (vi) The analyticity ∣z′∣ = ∣z∣e(−Imα/2) < 1 occurs when Imα ≠ 0 because of normalizability and Imα >0 because of the identity condition. The circle topology induced by the ⟨α,φ∣ coset coherent state also modifies the ratio of the disk due to the displacement by the coset. (vii) For the coset coherent cylinder states in configuration space, the classicalization is stronger due to screening exponential factors exp(−2n^2) , e−(2n+1/2), and exp(−(2n+1/2)^2) for large n arising in the Mp(2) projections on them. The generalized Wigner function shows a bell-shaped distribution and stronger classicalization than the square norm functions. The application of the minimal group representation immediately classicalizes the system, with Mp(2) emerging as the group of the classical–quantum duality symmetry.
In this paper, we compute and analyze the geometrical and topological changes in quantum physics within the new framework of our recent work [D. J. Cirilo-Lombardo and N. G. Sanchez, APL Quantum 2 (2025) 016104] on classicalization. Thus, the results of our paper here are twofold: Topology, geometry and classicalization and the relationship between them. With this end, we consider various types of states on the simplest polygon: states with triangle topology as solution of the Schrodinger equation, eigenstates of a lowering operator and coset coherent states. The results of this paper are: (1) From the point of view of the metaplectic group and the classicalization, the application of the Minimal Group Representation (MGR) on the states on the triangle and the circle can be performed only if the ladder operators [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are related to those of the oscillator [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. (2) For the coherent state case, the application of the MGR can be viewed in the same way as (1) but considering an eigenstate of the operator [Formula: see text], or a more general case, as an eigenstate of [Formula: see text]. (3) These two-dimensional states are edge states geometrically dual to the quantum states within the boundary of the triangle: there is interplay between states at the edge and the states inside the triangular boundary. (4) The coherent states in the triangle are generated by applying the group [Formula: see text] to the coset coherent states of the circle as a fiducial vector (e.g. a polygon with infinity sides). (5) The justification for the proposal in item (4) is easy to see by applying the cyclic subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] to the fiducial (coset circle coherent states): as the number of sides tends to infinity, the elements of [Formula: see text] tend to the identity. (6) The application of MGR in the case of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] coherent state, reveals to us the quantum structure underlying each of the sides of the triangle (polygon). (7) The norm (probability) found shows a clear interaction/interference between the sides of the triangle and between the even and odd sectors of the Hibert space. (8) The application of MGR allows topological isolation between the projected sectors (even and odd). It can be seen that the topological effect is of a quantum nature and vice versa. (9) These topological isolation effects do not disappear at the macroscopic level (e.g. they are independent of the space-time parameters of the physical system). In general, the results here show too that quantum states in geometries with angles and vertices classicalize more than in geometries without them. (10) Within this context, a generalization of the Bargmann representation, not previously introduced in the literature, is presented. (11) These theoretical results can have impact and applications in: Classical and quantum information processing, Quantum computation, classical-quantum interaction and interpretation measurements, classical-quantum duality, classical or quantum optimization.
We investigate the classical aspects of quantum theory and under which description quantum theory does appear classical. Although such descriptions or variables are known as “ontological” or “hidden,” they are not hidden at all but are dual classical states (in the sense of the general classical–quantum duality of nature). We analyze and interpret the dynamical scenario in an inherent quantum structure: (i) We show that the use of the known φ states in the circle [F. London, Z. Phys. 37, 915 (1926) and G. ’t Hooft, “The hidden ontological variable in quantum harmonic oscillators,” arXiv 2407.18153 (2024)] takes a true dimension only when the system is subjected to the minimal group representation action of the metaplectic group Mp(n). The Mp(n) Hermitian structure fully covers the symplectic Sp(n) group and, in certain cases, OSp(n). (ii) We compare the circle φ states and the cylinder ξ states in configuration space with the two sectors of the full Mp(2) Hilbert space corresponding to the even and oddn harmonic oscillators and their total sum. (iii) We compute the projections of the Mp(2) states on the circle φ and cylinder ξ states. The known London circle states are not normalizable. We compute here the general coset coherent states α,φ in the circle, with α being the coherent complex parameter. It allows full normalizability of the complete set of the circle states. (iv) The London states (ontological in ’t Hooft’s description) completelyclassicalize the inherent quantum structure only under the action of the Mp(n) minimal group representation. (v) For the coherent states in the cylinder (configuration space), all functions are analytic in the disk z=ωe−iφ<1. For the general coset coherent states α,φ in the circle, the complex variable is z′=ze−iα*/2: The analytic function is modified by the complex phase (φ − α*/2). (vi) The analyticity z′=ze−Imα/2<1 occurs when Im α ≠ 0 because of normalizability and Im α > 0 because of the identity condition. The circle topology induced by the α,φ coset coherent state also modifies the ratio of the disk due to the displacement by the coset. (vii) For the coset coherent cylinder states in configuration space, the classicalization is stronger due to screening exponential factors e−2n2, e−(2n+1/2), and e−(2n+1/2)2 for large n arising in the Mp(2) projections on them. The generalized Wigner function shows a bell-shaped distribution and stronger classicalization than the square norm functions. The application of the minimal group representation immediately classicalizes the system, with Mp(2) emerging as the group of the classical–quantum duality symmetry.
The symplectic group Sp(n) acts on phase space while the unitary representation of its double cover, Mp(n), the metaplectic group, acts on functions defined on configuration space. We will construct an extension Mp(n) of Mp(n) acting on square integrable functions on phase space. This is performed using previous results of ours involving explicit expressions of the twisted Weyl symbols of metaplectic operators and Bopp pseudodifferential operators, which are phase space extensions of the usual Weyl operators.
Quantum entanglement stands as one of the most profound and non-intuitive phenomena in quantum mechanics, challenging classical notions of locality and realism. This study explores the foundational principles, experimental validations, and technological implications of quantum entanglement within the broader context of the quantum world. Drawing from both historical milestones and recent advancements, the research investigates how entangled states emerge, evolve, and influence the behavior of spatially separated quantum systems. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates theoretical analysis with quantitative simulation, this paper demonstrates how entanglement defies classical correlations by revealing statistical patterns that violate Bell-type inequalities. Results from simulated EPR-Bohm-type experiments show consistent alignment with quantum mechanical predictions, reinforcing the non-local character of entangled systems. Furthermore, we assess how entanglement underpins emerging technologies such as quantum computing, quantum teleportation, and secure quantum communication. Visual representations—including density matrices, correlation plots, and entanglement entropy graphs—are employed to interpret the complexity of multipartite systems and decoherence dynamics. The findings not only affirm the robustness of quantum entanglement as a theoretical construct but also highlight its real-world applications and philosophical implications. Ultimately, this study confirms that understanding quantum entanglement is not merely a conceptual pursuit but a crucial step toward harnessing the quantum world for next-generation technologies and deeper inquiries into the fabric of reality.
This thesis investigates questions related with the quantification, creation and application of entanglement. We first show how the notion of entanglement is modified by the presence of superselection rules. Next, we develop protocols for the optimal generation of squeezing and entanglement from noisy operations. The second part of the thesis applies quantum information methods to quantum many-body problems. We start by investigating the relation of Hamiltonian and correlations for lattices of harmonic oscillators. Next, we turn towards the description of many-body systems in terms of Matrix Product States (MPS) and Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS). We clarify the relation between entropy scaling laws and the approximability by MPS, and determine the computational complexity of creating and simulating PEPS. Finally, we define Gaussian MPS as a generalization of MPS to bosonic systems.
