Orthogonal Representation of Graphs

Alberto Solís-Encina, José R. Portillo

Orthogonal Graph Representations are essential tools for testing existence of hidden variables in quantum theory. As required by the interpretation of Copenhaghe on the foundations of quantum mechanics, a physical observable is not determined before its observation. Conducting experiments quantum contextuality or the information capacity of a quantum system are closely related to the orthogonal representations.

Representation of the quantum mechanical wavefunction by orthogonal polynomials in the energy and physical parameters

Abdulaziz D Alhaidari

Abstract We present a formulation of quantum mechanics based on the theory of orthogonal polynomials. The wavefunction is expanded over a complete set of square integrable basis where the expansion coefficients are orthogonal polynomials in the energy and physical parameters. Information about the corresponding physical systems (both structural and dynamical) are derived from the properties of these polynomials. We demonstrate that an advantage of this formulation is that the class of exactly solvable quantum mechanical problems becomes larger than in the conventional formulation (see, for example, table 3 in the text). We limit our investigation in this work to the Askey classification scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and focus on the Wilson polynomial and two of its limiting cases (the Meixner–Pollaczek and continuous dual Hahn polynomials). Nonetheless, the formulation is amenable to other classes of orthogonal polynomials.Abstract We present a formulation of quantum mechanics based on the theory of orthogonal polynomials.

On orthogonal bases in the Hilbert-Schmidt space of matrices

Jens Siewert

Abstract Decomposition of (finite-dimensional) operators in terms of orthogonal bases of matrices has been a standard method in quantum physics for decades. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular because of various methodologies applied in quantum information, such as the graph state formalism and the theory of quantum error correcting codes, but also due to the intensified research on the Bloch representation of quantum states. In this contribution we collect various interesting facts and identities that hold for finite-dimensional orthogonal matrix bases.Abstract Decomposition of (finite-dimensional) operators in terms of orthogonal bases of matrices has been a standard method in quantum physics for decades.
