... hence compact. In both cases the resolvent map, RA : ρ(A) → B(X), λ 7→ (λ id − A)−1 , is an analytic function on the resolvent set ρ(A). Remark 2.11. The proofs of these statements can be found in standard textbooks. In the literature there are two different ideas to prove the non-emptiness and comp ...

Quantum states in phase space • classical vs. quantum statistics
... correct as it cannot account for number states (in fact, all states that are not of Gaussian form). Here we will derive a proper phase-space picture that allows to associate to each quantum state, pure or mixed, a unique c-number function in phase space that contains all information about the quantu ...

Lie Groups and Quantum Mechanics
... Associated with every Lie group is something called its Lie algebra. The Lie algebra is a vector space, but it has additional structure: a binary operation called the Lie bracket. For the rotation group, the elements of the corresponding Lie algebra can be thought of as angular velocities. Indeed, a ...

Compactness and Symmetry in Quantum Logic 1 Introduction
... Note that we permit distinct tests to overlap. For later reference, a test space in which distinct tests are disjoint is said to be semiclassical. However, as the examples below illustrate, non-semiclassical test spaces arise quite naturally. Notice also that the probability of an outcome with respe ...

In order for them to represent a complete local measurement, they must all be one-dimensional: Q̂j = |φj ihφj |, where {|φj i} is an orthonormal basis on the ancilla space.

Superselection Rules - Philsci
... The notion of superselection rule (henceforth abbreviated SSR) was introduced in 1952 by Wick (1909-1992), Wightman, and Wigner (1902-1995) [13] in connection with the problem of consistently assigning intrinsic parity to elementary particles. They understood an SSR as generally expressing “restrict ...

Continuous Matrix Product States for Quantum Fields
