Quantum splines are curves in a Hilbert space or, equivalently, in the corresponding Hilbert projective space, which generalize the notion of Riemannian cubic splines to the quantum domain. In this paper, we present a generalization of this concept to general density matrices with a Hamiltonian approach and using a geometrical formulation of quantum mechanics. Our main goal is to formulate an optimal control problem for a nonlinear system on [Formula: see text] which corresponds to the variational problem of quantum splines. The corresponding Hamiltonian equations and interpolation conditions are derived. The results are illustrated with some examples and the corresponding quantum splines are computed with the implementation of a suitable iterative algorithm.

In this review I had given an introduction to axiomatic Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Information and its measure entropy. Also, I had given an introduction to Entanglement and its measure as the minimum of relative quantum entropy of a density matrix of a Hilbert space with respect to all separable density matrices of the same Hilbert space. I also discussed geodesic in the space of density matrices, their orthogonality and Pythagorean theorem of density matrix.

We construct a generalized Hilbert space representation of quantum mechanics in [Formula: see text]-dimensions based on Bargmann–Fock space with natural cutoffs as a minimal length, minimal momentum and maximal momentum in order to have a general framework for Heisenberg algebra in Bargmann–Fock space.

General formulas for estimating the errors in quantum-mechanical calculations are given in the formalism of density matrices. Some properties of the traces of matrices are used to simplify the estimating and to indicate a way of obtaining a better approximation. It is shown that the simultaneous correction of all the equations to be fulfilled leads in most cases to a faster convergence than the exact fulfilment of some of the equations and approximating stepwise to some of the others. The corrective formulas contain only direct operations of the matrices occurring and so they are advantageous in computer applications. In the last section a ‘subjective error’ definition is given and by taking into account the weight of the errors of the several equations a faster convergence and a single error quantity is obtained. Some special applications of the method will be published later.

We point out that nonperturbative effects in quantum gravity are sufficient to reconcile the process of black hole evaporation with quantum mechanics. In ordinary processes, these corrections are unimportant because they are suppressed by e-S. However, they gain relevance in information-theoretic considerations because their small size is offset by the corresponding largeness of the Hilbert space. In particular, we show how such corrections can cause the von Neumann entropy of the emitted Hawking quanta to decrease after the Page time, without modifying the thermal nature of each emitted quantum. Second, we show that exponentially suppressed commutators between operators inside and outside the black hole are sufficient to resolve paradoxes associated with the strong subadditivity of entropy without any dramatic modifications of the geometry near the horizon.
