The analysis of an open quantum system can be by far difficult if the dimension of the system Hilbert space is large or infinite. However, in some cases the dynamics on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space can be decomposed into a block-diagonal form, which simplifies the system structure. In this presentation, we will study several criteria for the complete reducibility and, in addition, a computational method for a basis of each simplified component to apply for the analysis of open quantum systems. An important point of these tools is that they are “effective” methods (one can complete the task in a finite number of steps).

We investigate the separable states ρ of an arbitrary multi-partite quantum system with Hilbert space H of dimension d . The length L ( ρ ) of ρ is defined as the smallest number of pure product states having ρ as their mixture. The length filtration of the set of separable states, S , is the increasing chain ∅ ⊊ S 1 ′ ⊆ S 2 ′ ⊆ ⋯ , where S i ′ = { ρ ∈ S : L ( ρ ) ≤ i } . We define the maximum length, L max = max ρ ∈ S L ( ρ ) , critical length, L crit , and yet another special length, L c , which was defined by a simple formula in one of our previous papers. The critical length indicates the first term in the length filtration whose dimension is equal to Dim   S . We show that in general d ≤ L c ≤ L crit ≤ L max ≤ d 2 . We conjecture that the equality L crit = L c holds for all finite-dimensional multi-partite quantum systems. Our main result is that L crit = L c for the bipartite systems having a single qubit as one of the parties. This is accomplished by computing the rank of the Jacobian matrix of a suitable map having S as its range.

We recall that a bounded linear operator T in a Hilbert space or finite-dimensional unitary space is said to be normal if T commutes with its adjoint operator T*, i.e. TT* = T*T. Most of the proofs given in the literature for the spectral theorem for normal operators, even in the finite-dimensional case, appeal to the corresponding results for Hermitian or unitary operators.

AbstractWe observe that every map between finite-dimensional normed spaces of the same dimension that respects fixed semi-inner products must be automatically a linear isometry. Moreover, we construct a uniformly smooth renorming of the Hilbert space $$\ell _2$$ ℓ 2 and a continuous injection acting thereon that respects the semi-inner products, yet it is non-linear. This demonstrates that there is no immediate extension of the former result to infinite dimensions, even under an extra assumption of uniform smoothness.

Abstract With an innovative idea of acceptability and usefulness of the non-Hermitian representations of Hamiltonians for the description of unitary quantum systems (dating back to the Dyson’s papers), the community of quantum physicists was offered a new and powerful tool for the building of models of quantum phase transitions. In this paper the mechanism of such transitions is discussed from the point of view of mathematics. The emergence of the direct access to the instant of transition (i.e., to the Kato’s exceptional point) is attributed to the underlying split of several roles played by the traditional single Hilbert space of states ℒ into a triplet (viz., in our notation, spaces K and ℋ besides the conventional ℒ ). Although this explains the abrupt, quantum-catastrophic nature of the change of phase (i.e., the loss of observability) caused by an infinitesimal change of parameters, the explicit description of the unitarity-preserving corridors of access to the phenomenologically relevant exceptional points remained unclear. In the paper some of the recent results in this direction are summarized and critically reviewed.

We introduce structured random matrix ensembles, constructed to model many-body quantum systems with local interactions. These ensembles are employed to study equilibration of isolated many-body quantum systems, showing that rather complex matrix structures, well beyond Wigner's full or banded random matrices, are required to faithfully model equilibration times. Viewing the random matrices as connectivities of graphs, we analyse the resulting network of classical oscillators in Hilbert space with tools from network theory. One of these tools, called the maximum flow value, is found to be an excellent proxy for equilibration times. Since maximum flow values are less expensive to compute, they give access to approximate equilibration times for system sizes beyond those accessible by exact diagonalisation.

The generation of random mixed states is discussed, aiming for the computation of probabilistic characteristics of composite finite dimensional quantum systems. In particular, we consider the generation of random Hilbert-Schmidt and Bures ensembles of qubit and qutrit pairs and compute the corresponding probabilities to find a separable state among the states of a fixed rank.
