AbstractPhase retrieval refers to the problem of recovering some signal (which is often modelled as an element of a Hilbert space) from phaseless measurements. It has been shown that in the deterministic setting phase retrieval from frame coefficients is always unstable in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces (Cahill et al. in Trans Am Math Soc Ser B 3(3):63–76, 2016) and possibly severely ill-conditioned in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces (Cahill et al. in Trans Am Math Soc Ser B 3(3):63–76, 2016). Recently, it has also been shown that phase retrieval from measurements induced by the Gabor transform with Gaussian window function is stable under a more relaxed semi-global phase recovery regime based on atoll functions (Alaifari in Found Comput Math 19(4):869–900, 2019). In finite dimensions, we present first evidence that this semi-global reconstruction regime allows one to do phase retrieval from measurements of bandlimited signals induced by the discrete Gabor transform in such a way that the corresponding stability constant only scales like a low order polynomial in the space dimension. To this end, we utilise reconstruction formulae which have become common tools in recent years (Bojarovska and Flinth in J Fourier Anal Appl 22(3):542–567, 2016; Eldar et al. in IEEE Signal Process Lett 22(5):638–642, 2014; Li et al. in IEEE Signal Process Lett 24(4):372–376, 2017; Nawab et al. in IEEE Trans Acoust Speech Signal Process 31(4):986–998, 1983).

In the present work, we extend, to the setting of reflexive smooth Banach spaces, the class of primal lower nice functions, which was proposed, for the first time, in finite dimensional spaces in [Nonlinear Anal. 1991, 17, 385–398] and enlarged to Hilbert spaces in [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 1995, 347, 1269–1294]. Our principal target is to extend some existing characterisations of this class to our Banach space setting and to study the relationship between this concept and the generalised V-prox-regularity of the epigraphs in the sense proposed recently by the authors in [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 2019, 475, 699–29].

The question is often asked how to interprete quantum physics. That question does not arise in classical physics, since Newton's axioms are immediately connected with basic ideas and experiences. The same is possible in quantum physics, if we remember how elementary particle physicists describe their experiments. As Helmholtz has pointed out. the basic assumption of classical physics is that of geneidentity. That means: Bodies remain the same during their motion. Obviously, that is no longer true in quantum physics. Particles can be created and annihilated. Therefore creation and annihilation must be considered as basic processes. Motion only occurs, if a particle is annihilated in a certain point, if an equal one is created in an infinitesimally neighbouring point, and if this process is continuously going on during a certain time. Motions of that kind are compatible with the existence of some manifest creation and annihilation processes. If we accept this idea, quantum physics can be derived from first principles. As in classical physics, we know therefore what happens from the very beginning. Thus questions of interpretation become dispensable. A particular mathematical method is used to exhaust continua. The theory is formulated in a finite lattice, whose point density and extension equally go to infinity. All calculations are therefore performed in a finite dimensional Hilbert space. The results are however related to an infinite dimensional one. Earlier calculations may, therefore, be essentially correct, though they must be rejected in theories which are based on manifestly infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Here limiting processes do not occur in the state space. They are only admissible for numerical results.

Categorical quantum mechanics exploits the dagger compact closed structure of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, and uses the graphical calculus of string diagrams to facilitate reasoning about finite dimensional processes. A significant portion of quantum physics, however, involves reasoning about infinite dimensional processes, and it is well-known that the category of all Hilbert spaces is not compact closed. Thus, a limitation of using dagger compact closed categories is that one cannot directly accommodate reasoning about infinite dimensional processes. A natural categorical generalization of compact closed categories, in which infinite dimensional spaces can be modelled, is *-autonomous categories and, more generally, linearly distributive categories. This article starts the development of this direction of generalizing categorical quantum mechanics. An important first step is to establish the behaviour of the dagger in these more general settings. Thus, these notes simultaneously develop the categorical semantics of multiplicative dagger linear logic. The notes end with the definition of a mixed unitary category. It is this structure which is subsequently used to extend the key features of categorical quantum mechanics.

We prove that any countable family of Lagrangian subspaces of a symplectic Hilbert space admits a common complementary Lagrangian. The proof of this puzzling result, which is not totally elementary also in the finite dimensional case, is obtained as an application of the spectral theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators.

Relations between states and maps, which are known for quantum systems in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, are formulated rigorously in geometrical terms with no use of coordinate (matrix) interpretation. In a tensor product realization they are represented simply by a permutation of factors. This leads to natural generalizations for infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and a simple proof of a generalized Choi Theorem. The natural framework is based on spaces of Hilbert-Schmidt operators [Formula: see text] and the corresponding tensor products [Formula: see text] of Hilbert spaces. It is proved that the corresponding isomorphisms cannot be naturally extended to compact (or bounded) operators, nor reduced to the trace-class operators. On the other hand, it is proven that there is a natural continuous map [Formula: see text] from trace-class operators on [Formula: see text] (with the nuclear norm) into compact operators mapping the space of all bounded operators on [Formula: see text] into trace class operators on [Formula: see text] (with the operator-norm). Also in the infinite-dimensional context, the Schmidt measure of entanglement and multipartite generalizations of state-maps relations are considered in the paper.

AbstractOn finite dimensional spaces, it is apparent that an operator is the product of two positive operators if and only if it is similar to a positive operator. Here, the class $${\mathcal {L}^{+\,2}}$$ L + 2 of bounded operators on separable infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces which can be written as the product of two bounded positive operators is studied. The structure is much richer, and connects (but is not equivalent to) quasi-similarity and quasi-affinity to a positive operator. The spectral properties of operators in $${\mathcal {L}^{+\,2}}$$ L + 2 are developed, and membership in $${\mathcal {L}^{+\,2}}$$ L + 2 among special classes, including algebraic and compact operators, is examined.

In the article for the stochastic differential equations of Ito-Skorokhod, problems of optimization of functionals under conditions of uncertainty in Hilbert spaces are investigated. Purpose of the article is to investigate some properties of stochastic differential equations in Hilbert spaces. These objects arise in diverse areas of applied mathematics as models for various natural phenomena, in particular, the evolution of complex systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom. For instance, one may think of the liquid fuel motion in the tank of a spacecraft. Spacecraft constructors should take into account this motion, for it influences heavily the path of a spacecraft. Also, optimization of the motion is an issue of principal importance. It is not trivial to carry over the results concerning stochastic differential equations in finite-dimensional spaces to the infinite dimensional case. We give some statements, in which the existence, uniqueness is proved and the explicit form μ-optimal controls for such equations is constructed, in particular, μ-optimal control is found as a linear inverse relationship.

We propose a mixedness quantifier based on entropy fluctuations. It provides information about the degree of mixedness either for finite dimensional and infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces (HS). It may be used to determine the reduction of the HS as it becomes maximum when either the state is maximally mixed, or when the HS effectively reduces its dimensions, such as in the atom field interaction where the two-level atom dictates the final dimension of the field.

We address the question, does a system A being entangled with another system B, put any constraints on the Heisenberg uncertainty relation (or the Schrödinger–Robertson inequality)? We find that the equality of the uncertainty relation cannot be reached for any two noncommuting observables, for finite dimensional Hilbert spaces if the Schmidt rank of the entangled state is maximal. One consequence is that the lower bound of the uncertainty relation can never be attained for any two observables for qubits, if the state is entangled. For infinite-dimensional Hilbert space too, we show that there is a class of physically interesting entangled states for which no two noncommuting observables can attain the minimum uncertainty equality.
