The application of the optimized expansion for the quantum-mechanical propagation in the anharmonic potential $\lambda x^4$ is discussed for real and imaginary time. The first order results in the imaginary time formalism provide approximations to the free energy and particle density which agree well with the exact results in the whole range of temperatures.

We present here a canonical quantization for the baker's map. The method we use is quite different from that used in Balazs and Voros (ref. \QCITE{cite}{}{BV}) and Saraceno (ref. \QCITE{cite}{}{S}). We first construct a natural ``baker covering map'' on the plane $\QTO{mathbb}{\mathbb{R}}^{2}$. We then use as the quantum algebra of observables the subalgebra of operators on $L^{2}(\QTO{mathbb}{\mathbb{R}}) $ generated by $\left\{\exp (2\pi i\hat{x}) ,\exp (2\pi i\hat{p}) \right\} $ . We construct a unitary propagator such that as $\hbar \to 0$ the classical dynamics is returned. For Planck's constant $h=1/N$, we show that the dynamics can be reduced to the dynamics on an $N$-dimensional Hilbert space, and the unitary $N\times N$ matrix propagator is the same as given in ref. \QCITE{cite}{}{BV} except for a small correction of order $h$. This correction is shown to preserve the classical symmetry $x\to 1-x$ and $p\to 1-p$ in the quantum dynamics for periodic boundary conditions.

Evolution of a physical quantum state vector is described as governed by two distinct physical laws: Continuous, unitary time evolution and a relativistically covariant reduction process. In previous literature, it was concluded that a relativistically satisfactory version of the collapse postulate is in contradiction with physical measurements of a non-local state history. Here it is shown that such measurements are excluded when reduction is formulated as a physical process and the measurement devices are included as part of the state vector.

A many particle Hamiltonian, where the interaction term conserves the number of particles, is considered. A master equation for the populations of the different levels is derived in an exact way. It results in a local equation with time-dependent coefficients, which can be identified with the transition probabilities in the golden rule approximation. A reinterpretation of the model as a set of coupled harmonic oscillators enables one to obtain for one of them an exact local Langevin equation, with time-dependent coefficients.

We introduce a `proper time' formalism to study the instability of the vacuum in a uniform external electric field due to particle production. This formalism allows us to reduce a quantum field theoretical problem to a quantum-mechanical one in a higher dimension. The instability results from the inverted oscillator structure which appears in the Hamiltonian. We show that the `proper time' unitary evolution splits into two semigroups. The semigroup associated with decaying Gamov vectors is related to the Feynman boundary conditions for the Green functions and the semigroup associated with growing Gamov vectors is related to the Dyson boundary conditions.

This paper is devoted to generalize some previous results presented in Gaioli et al., Int. J. Theor. Phys. 36, 2167 (1997). We evaluate the autocorrelation function of the stochastic acceleration and study the asymptotic evolution of the mean occupation number of a harmonic oscillator playing the role of a Brownian particle. We also analyze some deviations from the Bose population at low temperatures and compare it with the deviations from the exponential decay law of an unstable quantum system.

By numerically simulating an implementation of the quantum baker's map on a 3-qubit NMR quantum computer based on the molecule trichloroethylene, we demonstrate the feasibility of quantum chaos experiments on present-day quantum computers. We give detailed descriptions of proposed experiments that investigate (a) the rate of entropy increase due to decoherence and (b) the phenomenon of hypersensitivity to perturbation.

We consider a continuous measurement of a two-level system (double-dot) by weakly coupled detector (tunnel point contact nearby). While usual treatment leads to the gradual system decoherence due to the measurement, we show that the knowledge of the measurement result can restore the pure wavefunction at any time (this can be experimentally verified). The formalism allows to write a simple Langevin equation for the random evolution of the system density matrix which is reflected and caused by the stochastic detector output. Gradual wavefunction ``collapse'' and quantum Zeno effect are naturally described by the equation.

An interesting classical result due to Jackson allows polynomial-time learning of the function class DNF using membership queries. Since in most practical learning situations access to a membership oracle is unrealistic, this paper explores the possibility that quantum computation might allow a learning algorithm for DNF that relies only on example queries. A natural extension of Fourier-based learning into the quantum domain is presented. The algorithm requires only an example oracle, and it runs in O(sqrt(2^n)) time, a result that appears to be classically impossible. The algorithm is unique among quantum algorithms in that it does not assume a priori knowledge of a function and does not operate on a superposition that includes all possible states.

Quantum Associative Memory

This paper combines quantum computation with classical neural network theory to produce a quantum computational learning algorithm. Quantum computation uses microscopic quantum level effects to perform computational tasks and has produced results that in some cases are exponentially faster than their classical counterparts. The unique characteristics of quantum theory may also be used to create a quantum associative memory with a capacity exponential in the number of neurons. This paper combines two quantum computational algorithms to produce such a quantum associative memory. The result is an exponential increase in the capacity of the memory when compared to traditional associative memories such as the Hopfield network. The paper covers necessary high-level quantum mechanical and quantum computational ideas and introduces a quantum associative memory. Theoretical analysis proves the utility of the memory, and it is noted that a small version should be physically realizable in the near future.

To date, quantum computational algorithms have operated on a superposition of all basis states of a quantum system. Typically, this is because it is assumed that some function f is known and implementable as a unitary evolution. However, what if only some points of the function f are known? It then becomes important to be able to encode only the knowledge that we have about f. This paper presents an algorithm that requires a polynomial number of elementary operations for initializing a quantum system to represent only the m known points of a function f.

We present here a canonical description for quantizing classical maps on a torus. We prove theorems analagous to classical theorems on mixing and ergodicity in terms of a quantum Koopman space $ L^2 (A_\hbar},\tau_\hbar) $ obtained as the completion of the algebra of observables $ A_\hbar $ in the norm induced by the following inner product $(A,B) =\tau_{\hbar}(A^{\dagger}B) $, where $\tau_{\hbar}$ is a linear functional on the algebra analogous to the classical ``integral over phase space.'' We also derive explicit formulas connecting this formulation to the $\theta $-torus decomposition of Bargmann space introduced in ref. \QCITE{cite}{}{KLMR}.

It is proposed that nuclear (or electron) spins in a trapped molecule would be well isolated from the environment and the state of each spin can be measured by means of mechanical detection of magnetic resonance. Therefore molecular traps make an entirely new approach possible for spin-resonance quantum computation which can be conveniently scaled up. In the context of magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a molecular trap promises the ultimate sensitivity for single spin detection and an unprecedented spectral resolution as well.

The role of time in quantum mechanics is discussed. The differences between ordinary observables and an observable which corresponds to the time of an event is examined. In particular, the time-of-arrival of a particle to a fixed location is not an ordinary quantum mechanical observable. While we can measure if the particle arrives, we argue that the time at which it arrives always has an inherent ambiguity. The minimum inaccuracy of time-of-arrival measurements is given by dt>1/E where E is the kinetic energy of the particle. The use of time-of-arrival operators, as well as current operators, is examined critically.

We study the variances of the coordinates of an event considered as quantum observables in a Poincare' covariant theory. The starting point is their description in terms of a covariant positive-operator-valued measure on the Minkowski space-time. Besides the usual uncertainty relations, we find stronger inequalities involving the mass and the centre-of-mass angular momentum of the object that defines the event. We suggest that these inequalities may help to clarify some of the arguments which have been given in favour of a gravitational quantum limit to the accuracy of time and space measurements.

The Schrodinger equation for stationary states in a central potential is studied in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions, say q. After transformation into an equivalent equation, where the coefficient of the first derivative vanishes, it is shown that in such equation the coefficient of the second inverse power of r is an even function of a parameter, say lambda, depending on a linear combination of q and of the angular momentum quantum number, say l. Thus, the case of complex values of lambda, which is useful in scattering theory, involves, in general, both a complex value of the parameter originally viewed as the spatial dimension and complex values of the angular momentum quantum number. The paper ends with a proof of the Levinson theorem in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions, when the potential includes a non-local term which might be useful to understand the interaction between two nucleons.

An algorithm is presented allowing the construction of fast Fourier transforms for any solvable group on a classical computer. The special structure of the recursion formula being the core of this algorithm makes it a good starting point to obtain systematically fast Fourier transforms for solvable groups on a quantum computer. The inherent structure of the Hilbert space imposed by the qubit architecture suggests to consider groups of order 2^n first (where n is the number of qubits). As an example, fast quantum Fourier transforms for all 4 classes of non-abelian 2-groups with cyclic normal subgroup of index 2 are explicitly constructed in terms of quantum circuits. The (quantum) complexity of the Fourier transform for these groups of size 2^n is O(n^2) in all cases.

Exact results are derived on the averaged dynamics of a class of random quantum-dynamical systems in continuous space. Each member of the class is characterized by a Hamiltonian which is the sum of two parts. While one part is deterministic, time-independent and quadratic, the Weyl-Wigner symbol of the other part is a homogeneous Gaussian random field which is delta correlated in time, but smoothly correlated in position and momentum. The averaged dynamics of the resulting white-noise system is shown to be a monotone mixing increasing quantum-dynamical semigroup. Its generator is computed explicitly. Typically, in the course of time the mean energy of such a system grows linearly to infinity. In the second part of the paper an extended model is studied, which, in addition, accounts for dissipation by coupling the white-noise system linearly to a quantum-mechanical harmonic heat bath. It is demonstrated that, under suitable assumptions on the spectral density of the heat bath, the mean energy then saturates for long times.

The properties of the time-of-arrival operator for free motion introduced by Aharonov and Bohm and of its self-adjoint variants are studied. The domains of applicability of the different approaches are clarified. It is shown that the arrival time of the eigenstates is not sharply defined. However, strongly peaked real-space (normalized) wave packets constructed with narrow Gaussian envelopes centred on one of the eigenstates provide an arbitrarily sharp arrival time.

We recast Grover's generalised search algorithm in a geometric language even when the states are not approximately orthogonal. We provide a possible search algorithm based on an arbitrary unitary transformation which can speed up the steps still further. We discuss the lower and upper bounds on the transition matrix elements when the unitary operator changes with time, thereby implying that quantum search process can not be too fast or too slow. This is a remarkable feature of quantum computation unlike classical one. Quantum mechanical uncertainty relation puts bounds on search process. Also we mention the problems of perturbation and other issues in time-dependent search operation.

Recently M. Horodecki, P. Horodecki and R. Horodecki have introduced a set of density matrices of two spin-1 particles from which it is not possible to distill any maximally entangled states, even though the density matrices are entangled. Thus these density matrices do not allow reliable teleportation. However it might nevertheless be the case that these states can be used for teleportation, not reliably, but still with fidelity greater than that which may be achieved with a classical scheme. We show that, at least for some of these density matrices, teleportation cannot be achieved with better than classical fidelity.

We describe a new polynomial time quantum algorithm that uses the quantum fast fourier transform to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a Hamiltonian operator, and that can be applied in cases (commonly found in ab initio physics and chemistry problems) for which all known classical algorithms require exponential time. Applications of the algorithm to specific problems are considered, and we find that classically intractable and interesting problems from atomic physics may be solved with between 50 and 100 quantum bits.

The path integral for a point particle in a Coulomb potential is solved in momentum space. The solution permits us to give for the first time a negative answer to an old question of quantum mechanics in curved spaces raised in 1957 by DeWitt, whether the Hamiltonian of a particle in a curved space contains an additional term proportional to the curvature scalar $R$. We show that this would cause experimentally wrong level spacings in the hydrogen atom. Our solution also gives a first experimental confirmation of the correctness of the measure of integration in path integrals in curved space implied by a recently discovered nonholonomic mapping principle.

Recently, several authors have criticized the time-symmetrized quantum theory originated by the work of Aharonov et al. (1964). The core of this criticism was a proof, appearing in various forms, which showed that the counterfactual interpretation of time-symmetrized quantum theory cannot be reconciled with standard quantum theory. I argue here that the apparent contradiction is due to a logical error. I analyze the concept of counterfactuals in quantum theory and introduce time-symmetrized counterfactuals. These counterfactuals do not lead to any contradiction with the predictions of quantum theory. I discuss applications of time-symmetrized counterfactuals to several surprising examples and show the usefulness of the time-symmetrized quantum formalism.

A notion of quantization is proposed that is independent of the original statistical interpretation of the distribution of energy in a photon gas or of the quantization of angular momentum in hydrogen atom. Such a procedutre implies the existance of finite space-time four-interval that any relativistic preparation and measurement of a physical event requires. That finite four-interval is also the epistemological source of QM uncertainty relations. Furthermore, the consetrvation of helicity in the propagation of a photon is a relativistic invariant, and is the origin of the "appearence" of a paradox of nonlocal interaction in Bell's inequality [2,3,4] as shown in A. Aspect et all [5] experiment. That is a spin of a photon is always correlated with its momentum.

In the context of quantifying entanglement we study those functions of a multipartite state which do not increase under the set of local transformations. A mathematical characterization of these monotone magnitudes is presented. They are then related to optimal strategies of conversion of shared states. More detailed results are presented for pure states of bipartite systems. It is show that more than one measure are required simultaneously in order to quantify completely the non-local resources contained in a bipartite pure state, while examining how this fact does not hold in the so-called asymptotic limit. Finally, monotonicity under local transformations is proposed as the only natural requirement for measures of entanglement.

Within the framework of probability distributions on projective Hilbert space a scheme for the calculation of multitime correlation functions is developed. The starting point is the Markovian stochastic wave function description of an open quantum system coupled to an environment consisting of an ensemble of harmonic oscillators in arbitrary pure or mixed states. It is shown that matrix elements of reduced Heisenberg picture operators and general time-ordered correlation functions can be expressed by time-symmetric expectation values of extended operators in a doubled Hilbert space. This representation allows the construction of a stochastic process in the doubled Hilbert space which enables the determination of arbitrary matrix elements and correlation functions. The numerical efficiency of the resulting stochastic simulation algorithm is investigated and compared with an alternative Monte Carlo wave function method proposed first by Dalibard et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 68}, 580 (1992)]. By means of a standard example the suggested algorithm is shown to be more efficient numerically and to converge faster. Finally, some specific examples from quantum optics are presented in order to illustrate the proposed method, such as the coupling of a system to a vacuum, a squeezed vacuum within a finite solid angle, and a thermal mixture of coherent states.

A fast simulation algorithm for the calculation of multitime correlation functions of open quantum systems is presented. It is demonstrated that any stochastic process which ``unravels'' the quantum Master equation can be used for the calculation of matrix elements of reduced Heisenberg picture operators, and thus for the calculation of multitime correlation functions, by extending the stochastic process to a doubled Hilbert space. The numerical performance of the stochastic simulation algorithm is investigated by means of a standard example.

Stability of the algorithm with respect to a technical noise is discussed and the distance (fidelity) of outputs with respect to target states is studied.

We develop a fully quantized model of a Bose-Einstein condensate driven by a far off-resonant pump laser which interacts with a single mode of an optical ring cavity. In the linear regime, the cavity mode exhibits spontaneous exponential gain correlated with the appearance of two atomic field side-modes. These side-modes and the cavity field are generated in a highly entangled state, characterized by thermal intensity fluctuations in the individual modes, but with two-mode correlation functions which violate certain classical inequalities. By injecting an initial coherent field into the optical cavity one can significantly decrease the intensity fluctuations at the expense of reducing the correlations, thus allowing for optical control over the quantum statistical properties of matter waves.

We prove a theorem on direct relation between the optimal fidelity $f_{max}$ of teleportation and the maximal singlet fraction $F_{max}$ attainable by means of trace-preserving LQCC action (local quantum and classical communication). For a given bipartite state acting on $C^d\otimes C^d$ we have $f_{max}= {F_{max}d+1\over d+1}$. We assume completely general teleportation scheme (trace preserving LQCC action over the pair and the third particle in unknown state). The proof involves the isomorphism between quantum channels and a class of bipartite states. We also exploit the technique of $U\otimes U^*$ twirling states (random application of unitary transformation of the above form) and the introduced analogous twirling of channels. We illustrate the power of the theorem by showing that {\it any} bound entangled state does not provide better fidelity of teleportation than for the purely classical channel. Subsequently, we apply our tools to the problem of the so-called conclusive teleportation, then reduced to the question of optimal conclusive increasing of singlet fraction. We provide an example of state for which Alice and Bob have no chance to obtain perfect singlet by LQCC action, but still singlet fraction arbitrarily close to unity can be obtained with nonzero probability. We show that a slight modification of the state has a threshold for singlet fraction which cannot be exceeded anymore.

We present a two-party protocol for quantum gambling, a new task closely related to coin tossing. The protocol allows two remote parties to play a gambling game, such that in a certain limit it becomes a fair game. No unconditionally secure classical method is known to accomplish this task.

A mean-density description of spatially-inhomogeneous Bose-condensed gases based on Bogoliubov's method is introduced. The description assumes only a large mean atomic density and so remains valid when the mean field collapses due to phase diffusion. A spread in the number of particles in the condensate is shown to lead to an anomalous coupling between the condensate and excited modes. This coupling is due to the dependence of the condensate spatial wavefunction on particle number and it could, in principle, be used for reducing particle fluctuations in the condensate.

For $N$-coupled generalized time-dependent oscillators, primary invariants and a generalized invariant are found in terms of classical solutions. Exact quantum motions satisfying the Heisenberg equation of motion are also found. For number states and coherent states of the generalized invariant, the uncertainties in positions and momenta are obtained.

Using the underlying su(2) algebra of the Jaynes-Cummings Model (JCM), we construct a time dependent interaction term that allows analytical solution for even off-resonance conditions. Exact solutions for the time evolution of any state has been found. The effect of detuning on the Rabi oscillations and the collapse and revival of inversion is indicated. It is also shown that at resonance, the time dependent JCM is analytically solvable for an arbitrary interaction term.

The question has been solved whether Bell's inequalities cover all possible kinds of hidden-variable theories. It has been shown that the given nequalities can be hardly derived when the changing space position of photon-pair source together with the microscopic space structure of measuring devices are taken into account; and when corresponding impact parameters (i.e., exact impact points) of photons in individual measuring devices (polarizers) influence measured values, in addition to usually considered characteristics.

Bose-Einstein condensation of a relativistic ideal Bose gas in a rectangular cavity is studied. Finite size corrections to the critical temperature are obtained by the heat kernel method. Using zeta-function regularization of one-loop effective potential, lower dimensional critical temperatures are calculated. In the presence of strong anisotropy, the condensation is shown to occur in multisteps. The criteria of this behavior is that critical temperatures corresponding to lower dimensional systems are smaller than the three dimensional critical temperature.

We define a new measurement of entanglement, the entanglement of projection, and find that it is natural to write the entanglements of formation and assistance in terms of it. Our measure allows us to describe a new class of quantum erasers which restore entanglement rather than just interference. Such erasers can be implemented with simple quantum computer components. We propose realistic optical versions of these erasers.

This paper furthers the long historical examination of and debate on the foundations of quantum mechanics (QM) by presenting two local hidden variable (LHV) rules in the context of the EPRB experiment which violate Bell's inequality, but which are nevertheless local and deterministic under reasonable definitions of the terms, and coincide approximately with the conventional QM prediction. The theories are based on the general idea of probabilistic detection of particles depending on an interaction of hidden variables within the measuring device and particle, and relate mathematically to Fourier analysis. The crucial discrepancy of variations in the hidden variable distribution based on relative polarizer orientations is isolated which invalidates assumptions in Bell-type theorems. The first theory can be analyzed completely symbolically whereas the second was analyzed using numerical methods. The properties of the second in particular are shown to be approximately consistent with the reported results and uncertainties in all three Aspect experiments. Variation in the total photon pairs detected over orientations is shown to be a basic characteristic of these theories. Some comments on the relevance of active vs. passive locality are made. Two sections consider these ideas relative to energy conservation and the measurement problem (collapse of the wavefunction). One section proposes new experiments.

Braunstein and Caves (1994) proposed to use Helstrom's {\em quantum information} number to define, meaningfully, a metric on the set of all possible states of a given quantum system. They showed that the quantum information is nothing else than the maximal Fisher information in a measurement of the quantum system, maximized over all possible measurements. Combining this fact with classical statistical results, they argued that the quantum information determines the asymptotically optimal rate at which neighbouring states on some smooth curve can be distinguished, based on arbitrary measurements on $n$ identical copies of the given quantum system. We show that the measurement which maximizes the Fisher information typically depends on the true, unknown, state of the quantum system. We close the resulting loophole in the argument by showing that one can still achieve the same, optimal, rate of distinguishability, by a two stage adaptive measurement procedure. When we consider states lying not on a smooth curve, but on a manifold of higher dimension, the situation becomes much more complex. We show that the notion of ``distinguishability of close-by states'' depends strongly on the measurement resources one allows oneself, and on a further specification of the task at hand. The quantum information matrix no longer seems to play a central role.

The squeezing in a nonlinear system with chaotic dynamics is considered. The model describing interaction of collection of two-level atoms with a single-mode of self-consistent field and an external field is analyzed. It is shown that in the semiclassical limit, in contrast to the regular behaviour, the chaotic dynamics result in: (i) an increase in squeezing, (ii) unstable squeezing and contraction of time intervals of squeezing on large enough times. The possibility of the experimental observation of the described effects is discussed.

We shall argue in this paper that a central piece of modern physics does not really belong to physics at all but to elementary probability theory. Given a joint probability distribution J on a set of random variables containing x and y, define a link between x and y to be the condition x=y on J. Define the {\it state} D of a link x=y as the joint probability distribution matrix on x and y without the link. The two core laws of quantum mechanics are the Born probability rule, and the unitary dynamical law whose best known form is the Schrodinger's equation. Von Neumann formulated these two laws in the language of Hilbert space as prob(P) = trace(PD) and D'T = TD respectively, where P is a projection, D and D' are (von Neumann) density matrices, and T is a unitary transformation. We'll see that if we regard link states as density matrices, the algebraic forms of these two core laws occur as completely general theorems about links. When we extend probability theory by allowing cases to count negatively, we find that the Hilbert space framework of quantum mechanics proper emerges from the assumption that all D's are symmetrical in rows and columns. On the other hand, Markovian systems emerge when we assume that one of every linked variable pair has a uniform probability distribution. By representing quantum and Markovian structure in this way, we see clearly both how they differ, and also how they can coexist in natural harmony with each other, as they must in quantum measurement, which we'll examine in some detail. Looking beyond quantum mechanics, we see how both structures have their special places in a much larger continuum of formal systems that we have yet to look for in nature.

In this paper the relativistic quantum mechanics is considered in the framework of the nonstandard synchronization scheme for clocks. Such a synchronization preserves Poincar{\'e} covariance but (at least formally) distinguishes an inertial frame. This enables to avoid the problem of a noncausal transmision of information related to breaking of the Bell's inequalities in QM. Our analysis has been focused mainly on the problem of existence of a proper position operator for massive particles. We have proved that in our framework such an operator exists for particles with arbitrary spin. It fulfills all the requirements: it is Hermitean and covariant, it has commuting components and moreover its eigenvectors (localised states) are also covariant. We have found the explicit form of the position operator and have demonstrated that in the preferred frame our operator coincides with the Newton--Wigner one. We have also defined a covariant spin operator and have constructed an invariant spin square operator. Moreover, full algebra of observables consisting of position operators, fourmomentum operators and spin operators is manifestly Poincar\'e covariant in this framework. Our results support expectations of other authors (Bell, Eberhard) that a consistent formulation of quantum mechanics demands existence of a preferred frame.

We study the laser cooling of one atom in an harmonic trap beyond the Lamb-Dicke regime. By using sequences of laser pulses of different detunings we show that the atom can be confined into just one state of the trap, either the ground state or an excited state of the harmonic potential. The last can be achieved because under certain conditions an excited state becomes a dark state. We study the problem in one and two dimensions. For the latter case a new cooling mechanism is possible, based on the destructive interference between the effects of laser fields in different directions, which allows the creation of variety of dark states. For both, one and two dimensional cases, Monte Carlo simulations of the cooling dynamics are presented.

We study the dynamics of the relative phase between two Bose-Einstein condensates coupled via collisions and via a Josephson-like coupling. We derive the equations of the motion for the relative phase and the relative number operators from the second quantized Hamiltonian of the system using a quantum field theoretical approach. We distinguish the cases in which the two condensates are in the same trap or in two different traps and study the influence of this difference on the first order correlation function of atomic fields. In identical traps this function does not undergo dephasing. We calculate the dephasing time for the case of different traps.

Unambiguous discrimination and exact cloning reduce the square-overlap between quantum states, exemplifying the more general type of procedure we term state separation. We obtain the maximum probability with which two equiprobable quantum states can be separated by an arbitrary degree, and find that the established bounds on the success probabilities for discrimination and cloning are special cases of this general bound. The latter also gives the maximum probability of successfully producing N exact copies of a quantum system whose state is chosen secretly from a known pair, given M initial realisations of the state, where N>M. We also discuss the relationship between this bound and that on unambiguous state discrimination.

In this paper, starting from vortices we are finally lead to a treatment of Fermions as Kerr-Newman type Black Holes wherein we identify the horizon at the particle's Compton wavelength periphery. A naked singularity is avoided and the singular processes inside the horizon of the Black Hole are identified with Quantum Mechanical effects within the Compton wavelength. Inertial mass, gravitation, electromagnetism and even QCD type interactions emerge from such a description including relative strengths and also other features like the anomalous gyromagnetic ratio, the discreteness of the charge, the reason why the electron's field emerges from Newman's complex transformation in General Relativity, a rationale for the left handedness of neutrinos and the matter-antimatter imbalance. This model describes the most fundamental stable Fermions viz., the electrons, neutrinos and approximately the quarks. It also harmoniously unifies the hydrodynamical, monopole and classical relativistic perspectives.

We present a version of q-deformed calculus based on deformed counterparts of Darboux intertwining operators. The case in which the deformed transformation function is of the vacuum type is detailed, but the extension to counterparts of excited states used as Darboux transformation functions is also formally discussed. The method leads to second-order Fokker-Planck-like deformed operators which may be considered as supersymmetric partners, though for a sort of q-deformed open systems, i.e., those possessing q nonlocal drift terms, potential part, as well as q-spreaded vacuum fluctuations. The undeformed limit corresponds to the conservative case, since all q nonlocalities wash out. The procedure is applied to the x^{-2} singular oscillator, for which we also present a formal q generalization of the Bagrov-Samsonov coherent states

We consider a number of proposals for the entropy of sets of classical coarse-grained histories based on the procedures of Jaynes, and prove a series of inequalities relating these measures. We then examine these as a function of the coarse-graining for various classical systems, and show explicitly that the entropy is minimized by the finest-grained description of a set of histories. We propose an extension of the second law of thermodynamics to the entropy of histories. We briefly discuss the implications for decoherent or consistent history formulations of quantum mechanics.

A Parallel Self-Organizing Map (Parallel-SOM) is proposed to modify Kohonen's SOM in parallel computing environment. In this model, two separate layers of neurons are connected together. The number of neurons in both layers and connections between them is the product of the number of all elements of input signals and the number of possible classification of the data. With this structure the conventional repeated learning procedure is modified to learn just once. The once learning manner is more similar to human learning and memorizing activities. During training, weight updating is managed through a sequence of operations among some transformation and operation matrices. Every connection between neurons of input/output layers is considered as a independent processor. In this way, all elements of the Euclidean distance matrix and weight matrix are calculated simultaneously. The minimum distance of every line of distance matrix can be found by Grover's search algorithm. This synchronization feature improves the weight updating sequence significantly. With a typical classification example, the convergence result demonstrates efficient performance of Parallel-SOM. Theoretic analysis and proofs also show some important properties of proposed model. Especially, the paper proves that Parallel-SOM has the same convergence property as Kohonen's SOM, but the complexity of former is reduced obviously.

We consider a continuous measurement of a two-level system (double-dot) by weakly coupled detector (tunnel point contact nearby). While usual treatment leads to the gradual system decoherence due to the measurement, we show that the knowledge of the measurement result can restore the pure wavefunction at any time (this can be experimentally verified). The formalism allows to write a simple Langevin equation for the random evolution of the system density matrix which is reflected and caused by the stochastic detector output. Gradual wavefunction ``collapse'' and quantum Zeno effect are naturally described by the equation.

We propose a definition of QNC, the quantum analog of the efficient parallel class NC. We exhibit several useful gadgets and prove that various classes of circuits can be parallelized to logarithmic depth, including circuits for encoding and decoding standard quantum error-correcting codes, or more generally any circuit consisting of controlled-not gates, controlled pi-shifts, and Hadamard gates. Finally, while we note the Quantum Fourier Transform can be parallelized to linear depth, we conjecture that an even simpler `staircase' circuit cannot be parallelized to less than linear depth, and might be used to prove that QNC < QP.

An unextendible product basis (UPB) for a multipartite quantum system is an incomplete orthogonal product basis whose complementary subspace contains no product state. We give examples of UPBs, and show that the uniform mixed state over the subspace complementary to any UPB is a bound entangled state. We exhibit a tripartite 2x2x2 UPB whose complementary mixed state has tripartite entanglement but no bipartite entanglement, i.e. all three corresponding 2x4 bipartite mixed states are unentangled. We show that members of a UPB are not perfectly distinguishable by local POVMs and classical communication.

We discuss the recent model of a Quantum Mechanical Black Hole (QMBH) which describes the most fundamental known particles, the leptons and approximately the quarks in terms of the Kerr-Newman Black Hole with a naked singularity shielded by Zitterbewegung effects. This goes beyond the Zitterbewegung and self interaction models of Barut and Bracken, Hestenes, Chacko and others and provides a unified picture which amongst other things gives a rationale for and an insight into: 1. The apparently inexplicable reason why complex space-time transformations lead to the Kerr-Newman metric in General Relativity. 2. The value of the fine structure constant. 3. The ratio between electromagnetic and gravitational interaction strengths. 4. The anomalous gyromagnetic ratio for the electron. 5. Why the neutrino is left-handed. 6. Why the charge is discrete. In the spirit of Effective Field Theories, this model provides an alternative formalism for Quantum Theory and also for its combination with General Relativity. Finally a mechanism for the formation of these QMBH or particles is explored within the framework of Stochastic Electrodynamics, QED and Quantum Statistical Mechanics. The cosmological implications are then examined. It turns out that a surprisingly large number of facts, including some which were hitherto inexplicable, follow as a consequence of the model. These include a theoretical deduction of the Mass, Radius and Age of the Universe, also the values of Hubble's constant and the Cosmological constant.

The Brownian motion of small particles interacting with a field at a finite temperature is a well-known and well-understood phenomenon. At zero temperature, even though the thermal fluctuations are absent, quantum fields still possess vacuum fluctuations. It is then interesting to ask whether a small particle that is interacting with a quantum field will exhibit Brownian motion when the quantum field is assumed to be in the vacuum state. In this paper, we study the cases of a small charge and an imperfect mirror interacting with a quantum scalar field in (1+1) dimensions. Treating the quantum field as a classical stochastic variable, we write down a Langevin equation for the particles. We show that the results we obtain from such an approach agree with the results obtained from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Unlike the finite temperature case, there exists no special frame of reference at zero temperature and hence it is essential that the particles do not break Lorentz invariance. We find that that the scalar charge breaks Lorentz invariance, whereas the imperfect mirror does not. We conclude that small particles such as the imperfect mirror {\it will} exhibit Brownian motion even in the quantum vacuum, but this effect can be so small that it may prove to be difficult to observe it experimentally.

We calculate the propagator of a particle caught in a Paul trap and subject to the continuous quantum measurement of its position. The probabilities of the measurement outputs, the possible trajectories of the particle, are also found. This enables us to propose a series of experiments that would allow to confront the predictions of one of the models that describe the interaction between a measured quantum system and measuring device, namely the so called Restricted Path-Integral Formalism, with the experiment.

We construct a one-dimensional contact interaction ($\epsilon$ potential) which induces the discontinuity of the wave function while keeping its derivative continuous. By combining the $\epsilon$ potential and the Dirac's $\delta$ function, we construct most general one-dimensional contact interactions allowable under the time reversal symmetry. We present some elementary results for the scattering problem which suggest a dual relation between $\delta$ and $\epsilon$ potentials.

The goal of this message is to calculate radiative corrections to the Sommerfeld fine structure constant in the framework of a new QED in which particles are described by bilocal fields. The bare constant is 1/136 where 136 is a dimension of the dynamical group of the bihamiltonian system underlying the suggested elementary particle theory. Our calculations in the second order of perturbation theory give the renormalized Sommerfeld constant 1/137.0345. We believe the difference (137.0359 - 137.0345) between corresponding experimental and theoretical values may be understood as corrections of the fourth order.

A potential implementation of quantum-information schemes in semiconductor nanostructures is studied. To this end, the formal theory of quantum encoding for avoiding errors is recalled and the existence of noiseless states for model systems is discussed. Based on this theoretical framework, we analyze the possibility of designing noiseless quantum codes in realistic semiconductor structures. In the specific implementation considered, information is encoded in the lowest energy sector of charge excitations of a linear array of quantum dots. The decoherence channel considered is electron-phonon coupling We show that besides the well-known phonon bottleneck, reducing single-qubit decoherence, suitable many-qubit initial preparation as well as register design may enhance the decoherence time by several orders of magnitude. This behaviour stems from the effective one-dimensional character of the phononic environment in the relevant region of physical parameters.

A new approach to the implementation of a quantum computer by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is described. The key feature is that two or more line-selective radio-frequency pulses are applied simultaneously. A three-qubit quantum computer has been investigated using the 400 MHz NMR spectrum of the three coupled protons in 2,3-dibromopropanoic acid. It has been employed to implement the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm for distinguishing between constant and balanced functions. The extension to systems containing more coupled spins is straightforward and does not require a more protracted experiment.

It is proved that reliable (theoretically, 100% probability of success) teleportation cannot be achieved using the methods applied in recent experiments, i.e., without quantum systems interacting one with the other. Teleportation proposal involving atoms and electro-magnetic cavities are reviewed and the most feasible methods are described. In particular, the language of nonlocal measurements has been applied which has also been used for presenting a method for teleportation of quantum states of systems with continuous variables.

Macroscopic quantum coherence oscillations in mesoscopic antiferromagnets may appear when the anisotropy potential creates a barrier between the antiferromagnetic states with opposite orientations of the Neel vector. This phenomenon is studied for the physical situation of the nuclear spin system of eight Xe atoms arranged on a magnetic surface along a chain. The oscillation period is calculated as a function of the chain constant. The environmental decoherence effects at finite temperature are accounted assuming a dipole coupling between the spin chain and the fluctuating magnetic field of the surface. The numerical calculations indicate that the oscillations are damped by a rate $\sim (N-1)/ \tau$, where $N$ is the number of spins and $\tau$ is the relaxation time of a single spin.

A quantum clock must satisfy two basic constraints. The first is a bound on the time resolution of the clock given by the difference between its maximum and minimum energy eigenvalues. The second follows from Holevo's bound on how much classical information can be encoded in a quantum system. We show that asymptotically, as the dimension of the Hilbert space of the clock tends to infinity, both constraints can be satisfied simultaneously. The experimental realization of such an optimal quantum clock using trapped ions is discussed.

The nature of a physical law is examined, and it is suggested that there may not be any fundamental dynamical laws. This explains the intrinsic indeterminism of quantum theory. The probabilities for transition from a given initial state to a final state then depends on the quantum geometry that is determined by symmetries, which may exist as relations between states in the absence of dynamical laws. This enables the experimentally well confirmed quantum probabilities to be derived from the geometry of Hilbert space, and gives rise to effective probabilistic laws. An arrow of time which is consistent with the one given by the second law of thermodynamics, regarded as an effective law, is obtained. Symmetries are used as the basis for a new proposed paradigm of physics. This gives rise naturally to the gravitational and gauge fields from the symmetry group of the standard model, and a general procedure for obtaining interactions from any symmetry group.

The problem of ultraviolet divergences is analysed in the quantum field theory. It was found that it has common roots with the problem of cosmological singularity. In the context of fibre bundles the second quantization method is represented as a procedure of the quantization for vector bundle cross-section. It is shown to be quite a different quantization way called as a fibre quantization which leads to an idea on existence of the non-standard dynamical system, i.e. the relativistic be-Hamiltonian system. It takes place on supersmall distances and is well described by the mathematical apparatus for the non-unitary quantum scheme using a dual pair of topological vector spaces in terms of the non-Hermitian form. The article contains the proof of the theorem on radical changes in space and in matter structure taking place for a very high density of matter: the phase transitions ``Lagrangian field system (elementary particles) $\to$ relativistic bi-Hamiltonian system (Feynman's partons)'' and ``continuum $\to$ discontinuum''. All required calculations in the framework of the proposed theory are published in the Russian periodicals. The purpose of this article is to replace the calculations by reasonings and concepts. The present article begins the systematic exposition of principles of the theory.

The purpose of this paper is to present the mathematical techniques of a new quantum scheme using a dual pair of reflexive topological vector spaces in terms of the non-Hermitian form. The scheme is shown to be a generalization of the well-known unitary quantum theory and to describe jointly quantum objects and physical vacuum.

We propose a method which can effectively stabilize fixed points in the classical and quantum dynamics of a phase-sensitive chaotic system with feedback. It is based on feeding back a selected quantum sub-ensemble whose phase and amplitude stabilize the otherwise chaotic dynamics. Although the method is rather general, we apply it to realizations of the inherently chaotic Ikeda map. One suggested realization involves the Mach-Zender interferometer with Kerr nonlinearity. Another realization involves a trapped ion interacting with laser fields.

We propose a scheme which can effectively restore fixed points in the quantum dynamics of repeated Jaynes-Cummings interactions followed by atomic state measurements, when the interaction times fluctuate randomly. It is based on selection of superposed atomic states whose phase correlations tend to suppress the phase fluctuations of each separate state. One suggested realization involves the convergence of the cavity field distribution to a single Fock state by conditional measurements performed on two-level atoms with fluctuating velocities after they cross the cavity. Another realization involves a trapped ion whose internal-motional state coupling fluctuates randomly. Its motional state is made to converge to a Fock state by conditional measurements of the internal state of the ion.

Using supersymmetric quantum mechanics we develop a new method for constructing quasi-exactly solvable (QES) potentials with two known eigenstates. This method is extended for constructing conditionally-exactly solvable potentials (CES). The considered QES potentials at certain values of parameters become exactly solvable and can be treated as CES ones.

The study of mutual entropy (information) and capacity in classica l system was extensively done after Shannon by several authors like Kolmogor ov and Gelfand. In quantum systems, there have been several definitions of t he mutual entropy for classical input and quantum output. In 1983, the autho r defined the fully quantum mechanical mutual entropy by means of the relati ve entropy of Umegaki, and it has been used to compute the capacity of quant um channel for quantum communication process; quantum input-quantum output. Recently, a correlated state in quantum syatems, so-called quantum entangled state or quantum entanglement, are used to study quntum information, in part icular, quantum computation, quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography. In this paper, we mainly discuss three things below: (1) We point out the di fference between the capacity of quantum channel and that of classical-quant um-classical channel. (2) So far the entangled state is merely defined as a non-separable state, we give a wider definition of the entangled state and c lassify the entangled states into three categories. (3) The quantum mutual e ntropy for an entangled state is discussed. The above (2) and (3) are a join t work with Belavkin.
