Interactions between Operator Space Theory and Quantum Probability with Applications to Quantum Information

Abstract

Operator space theory was the joining element of our workshop. This theory is a quantisation of the theory of Banach spaces. The talks at our meeting investigated the interactions of operator space theory with operator algebras and other areas of functional analysis, with classical and quantum probability, with noncommutative harmonic analysis, and, in particular, with quantum information theory.

This paper looks at how operator theory can be used as a strict mathematical framework for processing quantum information. It discusses about how Hilbert spaces, spectral theory, and operator algebras can be used to describe quantum systems. The study also looks at Kraus decomposition and Stinespring dilation to talk about quantum channels and how they can be interpreted physically. In this study operator-theoretic method provide the huge data related to entanglement, decoherence, and channel stability by integrating the method as functional analysis with quantum physics.

Mathematical Modelling of Quantum Information Systems Using Operator Algebra Techniques

D. R. Kirubaharan

Quantum information theory has become a central area in the two fields of quantum mechanics and information science. The focus of this work is mathematical modelling of quantum information with the use of operator algebras, in a way that accentuates the modelling, and acting or manipulation of observables and quantum states. The fundamental aim is to utilise C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras, and other frameworks in operator algebra to formally describe the behaviour of quantum systems, understand the nature of quantum entanglement, and support quantum error correction. Operator algebra usage provides a firm mathematical foundation that guarantees accuracy and contributes to the incorporation of topological mechanisms and algebraic rules necessary for explaining noncommutative concepts in quantum mechanics. In this paper, we will present some original notions of operator algebra and explain their usefulness when it comes to modeling the key dynamics, features of quantum states, measurement, and evolution. We will use a method that combines algebraic techniques to chart qubit interactions, entropic inequalities, and characterize transformations of level in unitary evolution. Through the use of Hilbert spaces and bounded linear operators, we build models in multi-qubit systems and see what the specifications have to say about quantum computing and quantum communication protocols. The paper provide a comprehensive discussion, including algebraic formulations, simulation outputs, and a critical comparison with traditional Hilbert space methods. It is quite notable that the operator algebras can say more about the non-local correlations and decoherence processes. There are extensive literature reviews, useful modelling tools, and implementation outcomes in the paper when symbolic computation tools have been utilised. This combination gives both theoretical strength and modelling instruments to develop quantum technologies in the future.

Beyond Kolmogorov: Towards a Non-Commutative Measure Theory of Quantum Probability Spaces

Revista, Zen, MATH, 10

This paper explores the limitations of Kolmogorov's measure-theoretic foundation of probability in the context of quantum mechanics and proposes an extension towards a non-commutative framework. We delve into the mathematical structures underlying quantum probability spaces, focusing on operator algebras and their associated states. We analyze the challenges in defining joint probabilities for non-commuting observables and present an overview of alternative approaches based on operator algebras, quantum logic, and non-commutative integration. Furthermore, we investigate the applications of non-commutative measure theory in quantum information theory, quantum field theory, and the foundations of quantum mechanics, highlighting the potential for a more comprehensive understanding of probabilistic phenomena in quantum systems.

Operator algebra perspectives on interacting quantum systems

Yidong Chen

A central problem in modern mathematical physics is to study interacting systems beyond the reach of perturbation theory. This thesis studies interacting quantum systems using the mathematical theory of operator algebras. In the first part of this thesis, we consider how to construct quantum many-body systems from one-particle systems. This problem has a well-established solution - namely, the second quantization (or the Gaussian functor). However, it seems difficult for the second quantization to go beyond generalized free field constructions without the help of perturbation theory. The second quantization takes real Hilbert spaces as inputs. Using only information from one-particle Hilbert spaces, it is mathematically impossible for the second quantization to produce connected higher-point correlation functions. Moreover, from the perspectives of mathematical quantization and operator algebra theory, it is more natural to have a quantization procedure that takes an algebra along with a functional as the input. Such a pair of mathematical objects contains more information about the underlying one-particle system and includes the Hilbert space of states (via the GNS construction) as part of the data. Inspired by quantum probability theory, we introduce an alternative approach to construct quantum many-body systems. This approach is based on a noncommutative generalization of the classical Poisson random measure. We call this construction Poissonization. Mathematically, Poissonization is a functor from the category of von Neumann algebras with normal semi nite faithful weights to the category of von Neumann algebras with normal faithful states. It is a natural adaptation of the second quantization to the context of von Neumann algebras. This thesis discusses several properties of Poissonization, and uses Poissonization as a tool to construct various toy models of algebraic quantum field theories relevant to high energy physics. This collection of examples aims at demonstrating the versatility of Poissonization. In the second part of this thesis, we study the noisy interactions between an open quantum system and its environment. One of the challenges in quantum information science is to control open quantum systems with a large number of qubits. An important aspect of many-body systems is the emergence of collective phenomena. One collective noise model is an open atomic system in an electromagnetic environment. This model was considered by Dicke in the 50's. In this thesis, we study the entropic decay in Dicke's model and other related collective noise models. Specifically, we develop a general framework to estimate the spectral gap and modified logarithmic Sobolev constant of these collective noise models. In addition, we study the necessary mixing conditions a general Dicke's model must satisfy in order to have a unique equilibrium state.

Non-commutative probability and non-commutative processes: Beyond the Heisenberg algebra

R. Vilela Mendes

A probability space is a pair (A,ϕ) where A is an algebra and ϕ is a state on the algebra. In classical probability, A is the algebra of linear combinations of indicator functions on the sample space, and in quantum probability, A is the Heisenberg or Clifford algebra. However, other algebras are of interest in noncommutative probability. After a short review of the framework of classical and quantum probability, other noncommutative probability spaces are discussed, in particular those associated with noncommutative space-time.
