A Functorial Construction of Quantum Subtheories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply the geometric quantization procedure via symplectic groupoids proposed by E. Hawkins to the setting of epistemically restricted toy theories formalized by Spekkens [21]. In the continuous degrees of freedom, this produces the algebraic structure of quadrature quantum subtheories. In the odd-prime finite degrees of freedom, we obtain a functor from the Frobenius algebra in Rel of the toy theories to the Frobenius algebra of stabilizer quantum mechanics.

Operadic construction of the renormalization group
First, we give a functorial construction of a group associated to a symmetric operad. Applied to the endomorphism operad it gives the group of formal diffeomorphisms. Second, we associate a symmetric operad to any family of decorated graphs stable by contraction. In the case of Quantum Field Theory models it gives the renormalization group. As an example we get an operadic interpretation of the...
متن کامل‘dynamical Locality and Covariance: What Makes a Physical Theory the Same in All Spacetimes?’
The question of what it means for a theory to describe the same physics on different spacetimes (of the same dimension) is discussed. To this end, a previously introduced functorial description of locally covariant quantum field theories is analyzed and considerably extended. We assert a necessary criterion for a class of locally covariant theories to be regarded as being comprised of theories ...
متن کاملHomologically Twisted Invariants Related to (2+1)- and (3+1)-Dimensional State-Sum Topological Quantum Field Theories
We outline a general construction applicable to the Turaev/Viro [TV], Crane/Yetter [CY] and generalized Turaev/Viro invariants (cf. [Y1]) of invariants valued in complex-valued functions on HD−2(M , GrC), where GrC is the abelian group of functorial tensor automorphisms on the artinian tortile category used to construct the TQFT. Introduction It is the purpose of this note to introduce a constr...
متن کاملHopf Algebras in Quantum Computation
In this thesis, we use string diagrams to study the theory of Hopf algebras in the context of Categorical Quantum Mechanics. First, we treat the theory of representations of a Hopf algebra diagrammatically. The category of representations of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra Rep(H) is a braided tensor category and can be understood as a process theory of particles in Topological Quantum theory. We...
متن کاملConstacyclic Codes over Group Ring (Zq[v])/G
Recently, codes over some special finite rings especially chain rings have been studied. More recently, codes over finite non-chain rings have been also considered. Study on codes over such rings or rings in general is motivated by the existence of some special maps called Gray maps whose images give codes over fields. Quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes play a crucial role in protecting quantum ...
