A Constructor-Theoretic and Quantum Information Approach to the Three-Step Photoemission Model: A Theoretical Investigation

S. Malhotra

A novel theoretical reformulation of the conventional three-step photoemission model is presented by integrating the conceptual frameworks of constructor theory and quantum information theory. Each step of the photoemission process photon absorption, electron transport, and electron emission is formalized as a physical task (in the constructor-theoretic sense) and modeled by a quantum channel with an explicit operator-level description. This dual framework not only recovers the standard efficiency factorization n = A T D but also reveals new insights into the preservation of coherence and the interdependence of successive tasks. Furthermore, potential experimental setups and conditions under which the predicted phenomena could be observed are discussed. The motivation of this work is to pave the path for improved implementations of the current photoemission model and to contribute toward the realization of a universal constructor for quantum computation.

String Diagrams for Quantum Foundations, Computing and Natural Language Processing

Muhammad Hamza Waseem

Applied category theory provides powerful mathematical tools for modelling processes and their composition. Symmetric monoidal categories, which involve series and parallel composition, are particularly well-suited for describing the composition of processes in space and time. Also called process theories, they admit string diagrams, which constitute a visually intuitive, mathematically rigorous, expressive and flexible syntax that is applicable to wide-ranging scientific domains. In this thesis, we employ string diagrams to investigate a selection of topics in the areas of quantum foundations, computing, and natural language processing: (1) We formalise constructor theory as a process theory. In the context of quantum physics, we also demonstrate the conflict between constructor-theoretic principles of locality and composition. Moreover, we argue that if the principle of locality is rejected, categorical quantum mechanics (CQM) can be conceived as a constructor theory of quantum physics. (2) We develop a formalism for wave-based logic circuits with phase encoding. We motivate the formalism using the example of spin-wave circuits, and then demonstrate its utility in design, analysis and optimisation of Boolean logic circuits. (3) We investigate the elimination of inter-language grammatical bureaucracy in the distributional compositional circuits (DisCoCirc) framework. In particular, we develop a hybrid grammar for a restricted fragment of the Urdu language, and show that Urdu text endowed with this hybrid grammar maps surjectively to DisCoCirc text circuits. Furthermore, we show that for the same language fragment, Urdu and English text circuits become the same up to gate-level translation. The aforementioned work supports the view that a process-relational outlook in science is well-supported by applied category-theoretic tools, particularly string diagrams.
