We give explicit constructions of semigroups and operators with particular properties. First we build a bounded C0-semigroup which is invertible and which is not similar to a semigroup of contractions. Afterwards we exhibit operators which admit bounded imaginary powers of angle ω > 0 on a Hilbert space but which do not admit a bounded functional calculus on the sector of angle ω. (This gives the limit of McIntosh's fundamental result.) Finally we build, in the 2-dimensional Hilbert space, an operator which is not the negative generator of a semigroup of contractions, although its imaginary powers are bounded by eπ|s|/2.

AbstractIn this paper, we give a general definition for f(T) when T is a linear operator acting in a Banach space, whose spectrum lies within some sector, and which satisfies certain resolvent bounds, and when f is holomorphic on a larger sector.We also examine how certain properties of this functional calculus, such as the existence of a bounded H∈ functional calculus, bounds on the imaginary powers, and square function estimates are related. In particular we show that, if T is acting in a reflexive Lp space, then T has a bounded H∈ functional calculus if and only if both T and its dual satisfy square function estimates. Examples are given to show that some of the theorems that hold for operators in a Hilbert space do not extend to the general Banach space setting.

We apply the generalised concept of witness operators to arbitrary convex sets, and review the criteria for the optimisation of these general witnesses. We then define an embedding of state vectors and operators into a higher-dimensional Hilbert space. This embedding leads to a connection between any Schmidt number witness in the original Hilbert space and a witness for Schmidt number two (i.e. the most general entanglement witness) in the appropriate enlarged Hilbert space. Using this relation we arrive at a conceptually simple method for the construction of Schmidt number witnesses in bipartite systems.

AbstractIn this paper, we construct the unique (up to isomorphism) extension algebra, denoted by E∞, of the Cuntz algebra 𝒪∞ by the C*-algebra of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that two unital monomorphisms from E∞ to a unital purely infinite simple C*-algebra are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if they induce the same homomorphisms in K-theory.

AbstractLet A be a C*-algebra and K the C*-algebra of all compact operators on a countably infinite dimensional Hilbert space. In this note, we shall show that there is an isomorphism of a semigroup of equivalence classes of certain partial automorphisms of A ⊗ K onto a semigroup of equivalence classes of certain countably generated A-A-Hilbert bimodules.

Fuchs and Sasaki defined the quantumness of a set of quantum states in \cite{Quantumness}, which is related to the fidelity loss in transmission of the quantum states through a classical channel. In \cite{Fuchs}, Fuchs showed that in $d$-dimensional Hilbert space, minimum quantumness is $\frac{2}{d+1}$, and this can be achieved by all rays in the space. He left an open problem, asking whether fewer than $d^2$ states can achieve this bound. Recently, in a different context, Scott introduced a concept of generalized $t$-design in \cite{GenSphet}, which is a natural generalization of spherical $t$-design. In this paper, we show that the lower bound on the quantumness can be achieved if and only if the states form a generalized 2-design. As a corollary, we show that this bound can be only achieved if the number of states are larger or equal to $d^2$, answering the open problem. Furthermore, we also show that the minimal set of such ensemble is Symmetric Informationally Complete POVM(SIC-POVM). This leads to an equivalence relation between SIC-POVM and minimal set of ensemble achieving minimal quantumness.
