I. The algebraic structure of the space of states

Mirko Navara

We present several known and one new description of orthomodular structures (orthomodular lattices, orthomodular posets and orthoalgebras). Originally, orthomodular structures were viewed as pasted families of Boolean algebras. Here we introduce semipasted families of Boolean algebras as an alternative description which is not as detailed, but substantially simplex. Semipasted families of Boolean algebras correspond to orthomodular structures in such a way that states and evaluation functionals are preserved. As semipasted families of Boolean algebras are quite general, they allow an easy construction of orthomodular structures with given state space properties. Based on this technique, we give a simplified proof of Shultz's Theorem on characterization of spaces of finitely additive states on orthomodular lattices. We also put some other results into the new context. We give a detailed exposition of the construction techniques as a tool for further applications, especially for finding counterexamples to questions about states on orthomodular structures.

This paper explores the development of a novel algebraic structure, termed the "Dimension Space," as a bridge between linear algebra and non-linear algebra. The core claim is that this framework offers a pathway to understanding and manipulating quantum systems within high-dimensional spaces, potentially driving significant advancements in quantum computing theory. We investigate the inherent properties of this dimension space and its relationship to quantum computation, proposing a mechanism to leverage this structure for enhanced algorithm design and optimization. The study will analyze the behavior of quantum states and quantum circuits within this space, highlighting potential implications for quantum information processing.

We analyze Fock-state lattices (FSLs) from an algebraic viewpoint. Starting from a Lie algebra, we associate a FSL constructed from the action of its generators: diagonal (Cartan) generators define the lattice sites, while off-diagonal (root) generators determine the lattice bonds. This construction reveals that identifying an underlying algebraic structure provides direct physical insight into FSLs, including their dimensionality, connectivity, symmetry constraints, and possible transport and revival phenomena. By examining several common Lie algebras, we identify not only their associated FSLs but also the corresponding Lie phase spaces, thereby establishing a systematic connection between FSL dynamics and phase-space geometry. In many cases, both the phase space and the FSL exhibit nontrivial curvature, opening possibilities for exploring quantum dynamics in curved synthetic spaces. We further address whether every integrable Hamiltonian admits an underlying Lie algebra that reproduces the same FSL structure. We show that this is not generally the case, particularly for Hamiltonians that are nonlinear in the generators, and that for systems combining different types of degrees of freedom the appropriate underlying structure may instead be a Lie superalgebra.

We develop a geometrical approach to Schrödinger quantum mechanics, alternative to the usual one, which is based on linear and algebraic structures such as Hilbert spaces, operator algebras, etc. The starting point of this approach is the Kähler structure possessed by the set of the pure states of a quantum system. The Kähler manifold of the pure states is regarded as a “quantum phase space”, conceptually analogous to the phase space of a classical hamiltonian system, and all the constituents of the conventional formulation, in particular the algebraic structure of the observables, are reproduced using a suitable “Kähler formalism”. We also show that the probabilistic character of the measurement process in quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle are contained in the geometrical structure of the quantum phase space. Finally, we obtain a characterization for quantum phase spaces which can be interpreted as a statement of uniqueness for Schrödinger quantum mechanics.
