Analogous to the notion of mutually unbiased bases for Hilbert spaces, we consider mutually unbiased unitary bases (MUUBs) for the space of operators, [Formula: see text], acting on such Hilbert spaces. The notion of MUUB reflects the equiprobable guesses of unitary operators in one basis of [Formula: see text] when estimating a unitary operator in another. Though, for prime dimension [Formula: see text], the maximal number of MUUBs is known to be [Formula: see text], there is no known recipe for constructing them, assuming they exist. However, one can always construct a minimum of three MUUBs, and the maximal number is approached for very large values of [Formula: see text]. MUUBs can also exist for some [Formula: see text]-dimensional subspace of [Formula: see text] with the maximal number being [Formula: see text].

The connection between maximal sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in a prime-power dimensional Hilbert space and finite phase-space geometries is well known. In this article, we classify MUBs according to their degree of covariance with respect to the natural symmetries of a finite phase-space, which are the group of its affine symplectic transformations. We prove that there exist maximal sets of MUBs that are covariant with respect to the full group only in odd prime-power dimensional spaces, and in this case, their equivalence class is actually unique. Despite this limitation, we show that in dimension [Formula: see text] covariance can still be achieved by restricting to proper subgroups of the symplectic group, that constitute the finite analogues of the oscillator group. For these subgroups, we explicitly construct the unitary operators yielding the covariance.

In this paper we adopt the notion of orthogonality in Banach spaces introduced by the author in [6]. There, the author showed that in any two-dimensional subspace F of E, every nonzero element admits at most one orthogonal direction. The problem of existence of such orthogonal direction was not addressed before. Our main purpose in this paper is the investigation of this problem in the case where E is a real Banach space. As a result we obtain a characterisation of Hilbert spaces stating that, if in every two-dimensional subspace F of E every nonzero element admits an orthogonal direction, then E is isometric to a Hilbert space. We conclude by presenting some open problems.

It is an important problem to determine the spectral type of automorphisms or flows on a probability measure space. We shall deal with a unitary operator U and a 1-parameter group of unitary operators {Ut} on a separable Hilbert space H, and discuss their spectral types, although U and {Ut} are not necessarily supposed to be derived from an automorphism or a flow respectively.

The tomographic description of a quantum state is formulated in an abstract infinite-dimensional Hilbert space framework, the space of the Hilbert-Schmidt linear operators, with trace formula as scalar product. Resolutions of the unity, written in terms of over-complete sets of rank-one projectors and of associated Gram-Schmidt operators taking into account their non-orthogonality, are then used to reconstruct a quantum state from its tomograms. Examples of well known tomographic descriptions illustrate the exposed theory.

In this paper, we study frames for operators ($K$-frames) in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces and express the dual of $K$-frames. Some properties of $K$-dual frames are investigated. Furthermore, the notion of their oblique $K$-dual and some properties are presented.

Recently R. G. Douglas showed [4] that if V is a nonunitary isometry and U is a unitary operator (both acting on a complex, separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space ), then V — K is unitarily equivalent to V ⊕ U (acting on ⊕ ) where K is a compact operator of arbitrarily small norm. In this note we shall prove a much more general theorem which seems to indicate "why" Douglas' theorem holds (and which yields Douglas' theorem as a corollary).

This paper contributes to a recent series discussing quantum mechanics defined on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space in which Weyl's commutation relation for unitary operators holds. In an earlier paper, Santhanam and Tekumalla (1976) showed that the commutation relation for hermitian operators with a bounded spectrum tends to Hdsenberg's standard canonical commutation relation as the spectrum becomes continuous and the dimension n -> 00. The present paper offers a formulation which is coordinate free in the limit n -> 00 and makes the limiting procedure especially ransparent.

In [6] B. Sz.-Nagy has proved that every operator on a Hilbert space such that1is similar to a unitary operator.The following problem is an extension of this result: If T and S are two operators such that1.sup {‖Tn‖, ‖Sn‖}<∞ (n = 0, ±1, ±2,…)2.TS = STthen there exists a selfadjoint operator Q such that QTQ-1, QSQ-1 are unitary operators?Also, in [7] B. Sz.-Nagy has proved that every compact operator T such thatsup ‖Tn‖<∞ (n = 1, 2, 3,…)is similar to a contraction.

We consider finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] with n ≥ 2 and unitary operators. In particular, we consider the case n = 2m, where m ≥ 2 in order to study entanglement of states in these Hilbert spaces. Two normalized states ψ and ϕ in these Hilbert spaces [Formula: see text] are connected by a unitary transformation (n×n unitary matrices), i.e. ψ = Uϕ, where U is a unitary operator UU* = I. Given the normalized states ψ and ϕ, we provide an algorithm to find this unitary operator U for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The construction is based on a modified Gram–Schmidt orthonormalization technique. A number of applications important in quantum computing are given. Symbolic C++ is used to give a computer algebra implementation in C++.

Quantum complementarity is interpreted in terms of duality and opposition. Any two conjugates are considered both as dual and opposite. Thus quantum mechanics introduces a mathematical model of them in an exact and experimental science. It is based on the complex Hilbert space, which coincides with the dual one. The two dual Hilbert spaces model both duality and opposition to resolve unifying the quantum and smooth motions. The model involves necessarily infinity even in any finitely dimensional subspace of the complex Hilbert space being due to the complex basis. Furthermore, infinity is what unifies duality and opposition, universality and openness, completeness and incompleteness in it. The deduced core of quantum complementarity in terms of infinity, duality and opposition allows of resolving a series of various problems in different branches of philosophy: the common structure of incompleteness in Gödel’s (1931) theorems and Enstein, Podolsky, and Rosen’s argument (1935); infinity as both complete and incomplete; grounding and self-grounding, metaphor and representation between language and reality, choice and information, the totality and an observer, the basic idea of philosophical phenomenology. The main conclusion is: Quantum complementarity unifies duality and opposition in a consistent way underlying the physical world.
