Negative Function

Two transforms of functions on a half-line are considered. It is proved that their composition gives a concave majorant for every non-negative function. In particular, this composition is an identical transform on the class of non-negative concave functions. Applications of this result in the operator theory of Hilbert space and in the theory of quantum systems are mentioned. Several open problems are formulated.

Open Problems

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.

Innovative Idea

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.

Exact Diagonalisation

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.

Recent Developments

A non-Hermitian operator H defined in a Hilbert space with inner product ⟨ · | · ⟩ may serve as the Hamiltonian for a unitary quantum system if it is η -pseudo-Hermitian for a metric operator (positive-definite automorphism) η . The latter defines the inner product ⟨ · | η · ⟩ of the physical Hilbert space H η of the system. For situations where some of the eigenstates of H depend on time, η becomes time-dependent. Therefore, the system has a non-stationary Hilbert space. Such quantum systems, which are also encountered in the study of quantum mechanics in cosmological backgrounds, suffer from a conflict between the unitarity of time evolution and the unobservability of the Hamiltonian. Their proper treatment requires a geometric framework which clarifies the notion of the energy observable and leads to a geometric extension of quantum mechanics (GEQM). We provide a general introduction to the subject, review some of the recent developments, offer a straightforward description of the Heisenberg-picture formulation of the dynamics for quantum systems having a time-dependent Hilbert space, and outline the Heisenberg-picture formulation of dynamics in GEQM.

Let be a fixed separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, and let () denote the algebra of all (bounded, linear) operators on . The ideal of all compact operators on will be denoted by and the canonical quotient map from () onto the Calkin algebra ()/ will be denoted by π.Some open problems in the theory of extensions of C*-algebras (cf. [1]) have recently motivated an increasing interest in the class of all operators in () whose self-commuta tor is compact.

In what follows, B(H) will denote the C*-algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. Suppose we are given a C*-subalgebra A of B(H), which we shall suppose contains the identity operator 1. We are concerned with the existence of states f of B(H) which satisfy the following trace-like relation relative to A:Our first result shows the existence of states f satisfying (*), when A is the C*-algebra C*(x) generated by a normaloid operator × and the identity. This allows us to give simple proofs of some well-known results in operator theory. Recall that an operator × is normaloid if its operator norm equals its spectral radius.

Multipartite System

The multipartite quantum systems are of particular interest for the study of such phenomena as entanglement and non-local correlations. The symmetry group of the whole multipartite system is the wreath product of the group acting in the “local” Hilbert space and the group of permutations of the constituents. The dimension of the Hilbert space of a multipartite system depends exponentially on the number of constituents, which leads to computational difficulties. We describe an algorithm for decomposing representations of wreath products into irreducible components. The C implementation of the algorithm copes with representations of dimensions in quadrillions. The program, in particular, builds irreducible invariant projectors in the Hilbert space of a multipartite system. The expressions for these projectors are tensor product polynomials. This structure is convenient for efficient computation of quantum correlations in multipartite systems with a large number of constituents.
