Abstract

We establish a global, worst-case non-identifiability theorem for periodically driven finite-dimensional quantum systems. On the unrestricted smooth periodic Hamiltonian class, we show that the period-averaged Fubini-Study metric component of a fixed initial state cannot, in general, be reconstructed from exact one-period propagators indexed by every starting time and external parameter. Thus, even complete starting-time-resolved endpoint data are insufficient to determine this intra-period geometric quantity. The obstruction is characterized exactly. The starting-time-indexed endpoint data determine the conjugation path of the monodromy, but not its particular unitary lift. On each fixed-monodromy slice, the observational fibres are precisely the right orbits generated by smooth parameter-dependent based loops taking values in the pointwise centralizer of the monodromy. The Fubini-Study functional is not invariant under this fibre action and therefore does not factor through the endpoint observation map. An explicit real-analytic two-level witness demonstrates the obstruction within a commuting, one-generator Hamiltonian family, so neither non-Abelian time ordering nor Floquet-logarithm ambiguity is required. A continuous family of Hamiltonians produces identical starting-time-indexed one-period endpoint data while yielding different, and on the unrestricted class arbitrarily separated, period-averaged Fubini-Study geometry. Non-identifiability persists under any prescribed uniform bound on the parameter derivative of the Hamiltonian. The result is a deterministic global statement, not a claim of generic non-identifiability or experimental impossibility. It identifies a precise information gap between complete one-period endpoint data and full intra-period dynamics: the missing information is the unitary lift of the observed monodromy path rather than ordinary scalar phase freedom.

Passive Observer Fibers in Two-Level Quantum Dynamics: Local Rigidity, Global Ambiguity, and Controlled Active Completion

Tao Lin

We study identifiability of finite-dimensional Hermitian dynamics from complete site-to-site transition probabilities. On the two-level spectral stratum $H = \alpha I + \beta P$, passive probabilities factor through a simple projector-modulus observer. We give the exact static/visible classification of this observer and then exhibit two sharply different forms of nonidentifiability. For a rank-three harmonic projector on seven sites, one passive law has at least four pairwise diagonal-gauge-inequivalent preimages, while an exact cyclotomic tangent calculation proves local modulus rigidity at each of the four constructed branches. In contrast, a standard one-parameter qutrit SIC family gives a continuous family of gauge-inequivalent zero-diagonal Hamiltonians with identical complete passive probabilities. We formulate the fixed-diagonal tangent map and an equivalent Bargmann-weighted triangle-curl system, making the local/global contrast explicit. Finally, under a calibrated isolated edge-phase intervention model, two cubic-response settings recover a complex rooted triangle invariant and at most $2(n-2)$ settings reconstruct the full diagonal-gauge class on complete support. The results separate passive nonidentifiability, local differential rigidity, and active identifiability without requiring a generic rigidity theorem for projector-modulus fibers.

Outcome-Frame Monodromy and Exact Limits of Marginal-Only Quantum Feedback

王有福

A quantum instrument is not determined by its induced positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) and nonselective channel, yet the global control consequences of this residual branch structure remain incompletely characterized. We study the nondegenerate fiber of instruments with both marginals fixed. The subgroup of outcome permutations preserving the effect tuple acts as the deck group of the ordered outcome-frame covering, and closed loops define a conjugacy-class-valued monodromy representation. Nontrivial monodromy obstructs continuous global branch labeling based only on local process continuity. We construct an explicit cyclic family with a uniform m-outcome POVM and a fixed completely dephasing channel, derive robust overlap-based reconstruction and a conservative finite-sample guarantee, and certify entangled conditional Choi states although the nonselective channel is entanglement breaking. For a noisy cyclic family, we prove an exact minimax separation in conditional feedback: recovery rules restricted to the two marginals and the reported local outcome have optimal worst-sector entanglement fidelity 1/m, whereas an outcome-frame-aware controller attains 1-lambda+lambda/m. The exact minimax value of the missing outcome-frame information is therefore (1-lambda)(1-1/m). The results remain entirely within standard finite-dimensional quantum mechanics and are positioned as an instrument-level, permutation-valued specialization of established Kraus-frame/channel holonomy with a distinct global-labeling and feedback limitation.

Local projective reconstruction of driven bosonic Hamiltonians

A. M. Tishin

Inferring a Hamiltonian from a single quantum trajectory is generally non-unique. This ambiguity limits inverse use of projective quantum geometry. Here we show that a nearest-neighbour structural prior makes the problem locally identifiable. For a smooth real time-dependent Jacobi Hamiltonian initialized at a ladder endpoint, the physical-time projective jet through order M+1 reconstructs the first M couplings, their logarithmic rates, and diagonal energy differences, up to an overall scalar-energy gauge. A canonical osculating-frame representation encodes the same data in a gauge-fixed connection. Pair-driven bosonic dynamics provides a direct realization because the vacuum evolves on the even-Fock Jacobi chain. In a nonstationary test, shallow reconstructions fit early projective data yet strongly overpredict later occupation growth; adding the projective order that resolves each hidden nonlinear layer restores the self-limited dynamics. The result supplies an inverse local counterpart to forward Krylov/Lanczos constructions and specifies when phase-resolved short-time state information identifies a sparse driven Hamiltonian.

Phase-Bypass Geometry: Resolved Zero Sectors, Persistent First-Exit Dynamics, and Register-Free Spectral Memory

Oleksandr Kudriavtsev

We formulate a conditional geometric framework for a phase bypass of a zero sector. The calibrated order parameter is a smooth section of a Hermitian complex line bundle, not a complete normalized quantum state. At a transverse zero, its normalized section has no canonical continuous extension to a full neighbourhood in the original space, whereas its pullback extends uniquely and smoothly to the exceptional boundary of the real oriented blow-up. The boundary value is determined by the vertical derivative and records the incoming normal direction; it does not select an outgoing path. On a controlled scattering component, a Hamiltonian flow supplies the missing dynamical datum under explicit transversality, two-sided non-trapping, completeness, and uniqueness assumptions. The resulting first-exit map is a symplectomorphism and is C1 persistent under small C2 perturbations of shifted Hamiltonians with uniform C3 control and quantitative regularity, flight-time, boundary-separation, and intersection-isolation margins. A Koopman–cocycle operator transports an internal fibre over this map but remains a classical construction unless a separate quantum realization is supplied. For a symmetry-constrained cubic exceptional-point slice, analytic continuation gives exact C3 monodromy, and a companion generator admits a formal GKSL-compatible no-jump embedding after a uniform loss shift. An engineered retain/erase benchmark provides programmed positive control and independently calibrated erase and lifted-EP3 nulls. The register-free bridge forbids deliberate injection of the orientation label, defines a natural carrier as minimal process memory across a certified causal break, and separates Hilbert-space spectral subspaces from Liouville-space operator modes. Exact memory identification is stated as a reversible full-algebra sufficiency criterion. A separate approximate theorem converts finite recovery and predictive-factorization errors into quantitative information and output-distribution bounds. A unified analytic benchmark derives the section, first-exit dynamics, resolved-to-control map, spectral family, and Kato transport from one calibrated joint model. These results define a falsifiable certification programme; they do not claim a completed hardware realization or a universal law of phase bypass.

Quantum-State Projectors on Grassmannian: Geometry, Holonomy, and Topology

Shin-Ming Huang

An isolated group of $k$ bands in an $N$-level quantum system defines a rank-$k$ spectral projector and hence a map into the complex Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k,N)$. For a smooth gapped Hamiltonian, this projector is globally smooth and periodic even when band topology obstructs a globally smooth periodic, or symmetry-compatible, Bloch frame. We take the globally defined differential $\dd P$ as the central object: it is the tangent field of the Grassmannian map, removes unphysical rotations within the selected subspace, and retains the physical interband transition. The interband block of this tangent data simultaneously determines the quantum metric and Berry curvature; the associated horizontal generator produces finite Grassmannian motion, while wedge products of $\dd P$ enter topological forms. We construct a shortest path between two projectors in the ambient Grassmannian and show that the singular values of its horizontal generator block are the principal angles between the endpoint subspaces. This construction provides a piecewise-geodesic interpretation of discrete geometric phases. In a separate development, we derive a basis-independent expression for the determinant of a multiband Wilson loop from traces of powers of an ordered projector product, without decomposing a degenerate band multiplet into individual bands. Finally, the same tangent-vector calculus organizes Chern characters, chiral winding numbers, and the time-reversal $\mathbb Z_2$ index. The resulting framework unifies local quantum geometry, finite subspace distance, holonomy, and topology while avoiding global gauge fixing.

Operational Subsystem Identification from Global Quantum Processes: Similarity Obstructions, Two-Loop Rigidity, and Finite-Data Guarantees

Oliver Tuma

This preprint develops an operational identifiability theory for bipartite quantum subsystem structure without presupposing an embedded tensor-product structure. It first proves a strict boundary between simultaneous-similarity information obtainable from self-consistent global process probabilities and the multiplication, adjoint, positivity, and order structure required for physical quantum subsystems. For finite-dimensional unitary return processes, the paper establishes a sharp zero/one/two-loop hierarchy. A tree leaves the full tensor-product-structure manifold unconstrained; one compatible return process leaves a continuous ambiguity of dimension (m-1)(n-1); and two Haar-generic compatible returns identify the common factor algebra up to exchange of equal-dimensional factors. From informationally complete probability tables, the construction M_s=G^{-1}P^{(s)} yields a calibration-free common-commutant obstruction. A finite-data singular-value certificate can rule out every nontrivial bipartition of the global dimension simultaneously. In the exact generic compatible case, the ranks of the primitive commutant idempotents also determine the previously unknown factor dimensions. After an independently justified physicality lift and explicit C^*-factor tests, the framework provides local reconstruction and finite-shot error guarantees. An exact two-qubit example demonstrates that two processes may each be factorizable in some tensor-product structure while admitting no common factorization.

An isolated group of kkk bands in an NNN-level quantum system defines a rank-kkk spectral projector and hence a map into the complex Grassmannian Gr(k,N)\mathrm{Gr}(k,N)Gr(k,N). For a smooth gapped Hamiltonian, this projector is globally smooth and periodic even when band topology obstructs a globally smooth periodic, or symmetry-compatible, Bloch frame. We take the globally defined differential $\dd P$ as the central object: it is the tangent field of the Grassmannian map, removes unphysical rotations within the selected subspace, and retains the physical interband transition. The interband block of this tangent data simultaneously determines the quantum metric and Berry curvature; the associated horizontal generator produces finite Grassmannian motion, while wedge products of $\dd P$ enter topological forms. We construct a shortest path between two projectors in the ambient Grassmannian and show that the singular values of its horizontal generator block are the principal angles between the endpoint subspaces. This construction provides a piecewise-geodesic interpretation of discrete geometric phases. In a separate development, we derive a basis-independent expression for the determinant of a multiband Wilson loop from traces of powers of an ordered projector product, without decomposing a degenerate band multiplet into individual bands. Finally, the same tangent-vector calculus organizes Chern characters, chiral winding numbers, and the time-reversal Z2\mathbb Z_2Z2​ index. The resulting framework unifies local quantum geometry, finite subspace distance, holonomy, and topology while avoiding global gauge fixing.
