Hudson's theorem for finite-dimensional quantum systems

Journal Article Gross, D - Journal of Mathematical Physics

We show that, on a Hilbert space of odd dimension, the only pure states to possess a non-negative Wigner function are stabilizer states. The Clifford group is identified as the set of unitary operations which preserve positivity. The result can be seen as a discrete version of Hudson's theorem. Hudson established that for continuous variable systems, the Wigner function of a pure state has no negative values if and only if the state is Gaussian. Turning to mixed states, it might be surmised that only convex combinations of stabilizer states give rise to non-negative Wigner distributions. We refute this conjecturemore »« less

Searching for an optimal control in the presence of saddles on the quantum-mechanical observable landscape

Journal Article Riviello, Gregory ; Wu, Re-Bing ; Sun, Qiuyang ; ... - Physical Review A

The broad success of theoretical and experimental quantum optimal control is intimately connected to the topology of the underlying control landscape. For several common quantum control goals, including the maximization of an observable expectation value, the landscape has been shown to lack local optima if three assumptions are satisfied: (i) the quantum system is controllable, (ii) the Jacobian of the map from the control field to the evolution operator is full rank, and (iii) the control field is not constrained. In the case of the observable objective, this favorable analysis shows that the associated landscape also contains saddles, i.e., criticalmore »« less

Dirac open-quantum-system dynamics: Formulations and simulations

Journal Article Cabrera, Renan ; Campos, Andre G. ; Bondar, Denys I. ; ... - Physical Review A

In this work, we present an open-system interaction formalism for the Dirac equation. Overcoming a complexity bottleneck of alternative formulations, our framework enables efficient numerical simulations (utilizing a typical desktop) of relativistic dynamics within the von Neumann density matrix and Wigner phase-space descriptions. Employing these instruments, we gain important insights into the effect of quantum dephasing for relativistic systems in many branches of physics. In particular, the conditions for robustness of Majorana spinors against dephasing are established. Using the Klein paradox and tunneling as examples, we show that quantum dephasing does not suppress negative energy particle generation. Hence, the Kleinmore » dynamics is also robust to dephasing.« less

A Goldstone theorem in thermal relativistic quantum field theory

Journal Article Jaekel, Christian D ; Wreszinski, Walter F - Journal of Mathematical Physics

We prove a Goldstone theorem in thermal relativistic quantum field theory, which relates spontaneous symmetry breaking to the rate of spacelike decay of the two-point function. The critical rate of fall-off coincides with that of the massless free scalar field theory. Related results and open problems are briefly discussed.
