Quantum Universally Composable Oblivious Linear Evaluation

Oblivious linear evaluation is a generalization of oblivious transfer, whereby two distrustful parties obliviously compute a linear function, f(x)=ax+b, i.e., each one provides their inputs that remain unknown to the other, in order to compute the output f(x) that only one of them receives. From both a structural and a security point of view, oblivious linear evaluation is fundamental for arithmetic-based secure multi-party computation protocols. In the classical case, oblivious linear evaluation protocols can be generated using oblivious transfer, and their quantum counterparts can, in principle, be constructed as straightforward extensions using quantum oblivious transfer. Here, we present the first, to the best of our knowledge, quantum protocol for oblivious linear evaluation that, furthermore, does not rely on quantum oblivious transfer. We start by presenting a semi-honest protocol, and then extend it to the dishonest setting employing a commit−and−open strategy. Our protocol uses high-dimensional quantum states to obliviously compute f(x) on Galois Fields of prime and prime-power dimension. These constructions utilize the existence of a complete set of mutually unbiased bases in prime-power dimension Hilbert spaces and their linear behaviour upon the Heisenberg-Weyl operators. We also generalize our protocol to achieve vector oblivious linear evaluation, where several instances of oblivious linear evaluation are generated, thus making the protocol more efficient. We prove the protocols to have static security in the framework of quantum universal composability.

Entanglement entropy of ( 2+1 )-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory on plaquette chains

We study the entanglement entropy of Hamiltonian SU(2) lattice gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions on linear plaquette chains and show that the entanglement entropies of both ground and excited states follow Page curves. The transition of the subsystem size dependence of the entanglement entropy from the area law for the ground state to the volume law for highly excited states is found to be described by a universal crossover function. Quantum many-body scars in the middle of the spectrum, which are present in the electric flux truncated Hilbert space, where the gauge theory can be mapped onto an Ising model, disappear when higher electric field representations are included in the Hilbert space basis. This suggests the continuum (2+1)-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory does not have such scarred states. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

New construction of mutually unbiased bases for odd-dimensional state space

Abstract We study the construction of mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert space for composite dimensions d which are not prime powers. We explore the results for composite dimensions which are true for prime power dimensions. And then provide a method for selecting mutually unbiased vectors from the eigenvectors of generalized Pauli matrices to construct mutually unbiased bases. In particular, we present four mutually unbiased bases in C15.

Generalized Heisenberg-Weyl groups and Hermite functions

A generalisation of Euclidean and pseudo-Euclidean groups is presented, where the Weyl-Heisenberg groups, well known in quantum mechanics, are involved. A new family of groups is obtained including all the above-mentioned groups as subgroups. Symmetries, like self-similarity and invariance with respect to the orientation of the axes, are properly included in the structure of this new family of groups. Generalized Hermite functions on multidimensional spaces, which serve as orthogonal bases of Hilbert spaces supporting unitary irreducible representations of these new groups, are introduced.

Properties and Convergence Analysis of Orthogonal Polynomials, Reproducing Kernels, and Bases in Hilbert Spaces Associated with Norm-Attainable Operators

This research paper delves into the properties and convergence behaviors of various sequences of orthogonal polynomials, reproducing kernels, and bases within Hilbert spaces governed by norm-attainable operators. Through rigorous analysis, the study establishes the completeness of the sequences of monic orthogonal polynomials and orthonormal polynomials, highlighting their comprehensive representation and approximation capabilities in the Hilbert space. The paper also demonstrates the completeness and density attributes of the sequence of normalized reproducing kernels, showcasing its effective role in capturing the intrinsic structure of the space. Additionally, the research investigates the uniform convergence of these sequences, revealing their convergence to essential operators within the Hilbert space. Ultimately, these results contribute to both theoretical understanding and practical applications in various fields by providing insights into function approximation and representation within this mathematical framework.

Many-body quantum sign structures as non-glassy Ising models

The non-trivial phase structure of the eigenstates of many-body quantum systems severely limits the applicability of quantum Monte Carlo, variational, and machine learning methods. Here, we study real-valued signful ground-state wave functions of frustrated quantum spin systems and, assuming that the tasks of finding wave function amplitudes and signs can be separated, show that the signs can be easily bootstrapped from the amplitudes. We map the problem of finding the sign structure to an auxiliary classical Ising model defined on a subset of the Hilbert space basis. We show that the Ising model does not exhibit significant frustrations even for highly frustrated parental quantum systems, and is solvable with a fully deterministic O(Klog K)-time combinatorial algorithm (where K is the Ising model size). Given the ground state amplitudes, we reconstruct the signs of the ground states of several frustrated quantum models, thereby revealing the hidden simplicity of many-body sign structures.

Complementarity in Finite Quantum Mechanics and Computer-Aided Computations of Complementary Observables

Mathematical formulation of Bohr’s complementarity principle leads to the concepts of mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces and complementary quantum observables. In this paper, we consider algebraic structures associated with these concepts and their applications to constructive quantum mechanics. We also briefly discuss some computer-algebraic approaches to the problems under consideration and propose an algorithm for solving one of them.

Introduction to gravitational redshift of quantum photons propagating in curved spacetime

Gravitational redshift is discussed in the context of quantum photons propagating in curved spacetime. A brief introduction to modelling realistic photons is first presented and the effect of gravity on the spectrum computed for photons largely confined along the direction of propagation. It is then shown that redshift-induced transformations on photon operators with sharp momenta are not unitary, while a unitary transformation can be constructed for realistic photons with finite bandwidth. The unitary transformation obtained is then characterized as a multimode mixing operation, which is a generalized rotation of the Hilbert-space basis. Finally, applications of these results are discussed with focus on performance of quantum communication protocols, exploitation of the effects for quantum metrology and sensing, as well as potential for tests of fundamental science.

Factorization in Phase-Space Finite Geometry and Weak Mutually Unbiased Bases

A phase-space factorization of lines in finite geometry G(m) with variables in Zm and its correspondence in finite Hilbert space H(m) for m a non-prime was discussed. Using the method of Good [15], lines in G(m) were factorized as products of lines G(mi) where mi is a prime divisor of m. A lattice was formed between the non trivial sublines of G(m) and lines of G(mi) and between a subspace of H(m) and bases of H(mi) and existence of a link between lines in phase space finite geometry and bases in Hilbert space of finite quantum systems was discussed.

On completeness of weak eigenfunctions for multi-interval Sturm-Liouville equations with boundary-interface conditions

Abstract The goal of this study is to analyse the eigenvalues and weak eigenfunctions of a new type of multi-interval Sturm-Liouville problem (MISLP) which differs from the standard Sturm-Liouville problems (SLPs) in that the Strum-Liouville equation is defined on a finite number of non-intersecting subintervals and the boundary conditions are set not only at the endpoints but also at finite number internal points of interaction. For the self-adjoint treatment of the considered MISLP, we introduced some self-adjoint linear operators in such a way that the considered multi-interval SLPs can be interpreted as operator-pencil equation. First, we defined a concept of weak solutions (eigenfunctions) for MISLPs with interface conditions at the common ends of the subintervals. Then, we found some important properties of eigenvalues and corresponding weak eigenfunctions. In particular, we proved that the spectrum is discrete and the system of weak eigenfunctions forms a Riesz basis in appropriate Hilbert space.

The best approximation of closed operators by bounded operators in Hilbert spaces

We solve the problem of the best approximation of closed operators by linear bounded operators in Hilbert spaces under assumption that the operator transforms orthogonal basis in Hilbert space into an orthogonal system. As a consequence, sharp additive Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya type inequality for multiple closed operators is established. We also demonstrate application of these results in concrete situations: for the best approximation of powers of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on classes of functions defined on closed Riemannian manifolds, for the best approximation of differentiation operators on classes of functions defined on the period and on the real line with the weight $e^{-x^2}$, and for the best approximation of functions of self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces.

Wavelet Density and Regression Estimators for Functional Stationary and Ergodic Data: Discrete Time

The nonparametric estimation of density and regression function based on functional stationary processes using wavelet bases for Hilbert spaces of functions is investigated in this paper. The mean integrated square error over adapted decomposition spaces is given. To obtain the asymptotic properties of wavelet density and regression estimators, the Martingale method is used. These results are obtained under some mild conditions on the model; aside from ergodicity, no other assumptions are imposed on the data. This paper extends the scope of some previous results for wavelet density and regression estimators by relaxing the independence or the mixing condition to the ergodicity. Potential applications include the conditional distribution, curve discrimination, and time series prediction from a continuous set of past values.

Symmetry Groups, Quantum Mechanics and Generalized Hermite Functions

This is a review paper on the generalization of Euclidean as well as pseudo-Euclidean groups of interest in quantum mechanics. The Weyl–Heisenberg groups, Hn, together with the Euclidean, En, and pseudo-Euclidean Ep,q, groups are two families of groups with a particular interest due to their applications in quantum physics. In the present manuscript, we show that, together, they give rise to a more general family of groups, Kp,q, that contain Hp,q and Ep,q as subgroups. It is noteworthy that properties such as self-similarity and invariance with respect to the orientation of the axes are properly included in the structure of Kp,q. We construct generalized Hermite functions on multidimensional spaces, which serve as orthogonal bases of Hilbert spaces supporting unitary irreducible representations of groups of the type Kp,q. By extending these Hilbert spaces, we obtain representations of Kp,q on rigged Hilbert spaces (Gelfand triplets). We study the transformation laws of these generalized Hermite functions under Fourier transform.

Research on phase-locked loop technique based on three-dimensional coordinate transformation

The traditional phase-locked loop (PLL) technique widely used in three-phase four-wire system can only obtain one phase angle, and cannot obtain other parameters of unbalanced voltages, such as the amplitude and phase angle of each phase voltage. In order to improve the performance of PLL in unbalanced three-phase four-wire system with disturbance and reduce the order of PLL to improve the stability of the system, a PLL technique based on three-dimensional (3D) coordinate transformation was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the phase detector error of three-phase unbalanced voltage was deduced based on the 3D coordinate transformation. The error can be regarded as the expression form in Hilbert space after linearizing of it. Based on the correspondence between the orthonormal basis in Hilbert space and the unit vectors in Euclidean space, the error can be mapped to Euclidean space, and the detection control law for each voltage parameter can be designed respectively based on the principle of perpendicular decoupling. Then, the voltage parameter detection control law in Euclidean space is mapped back to Hilbert space, so the PLL technique scheme can be obtained which is beneficial to the implementation in the actual system. The control law of each unbalance indices, such as the amplitude and initial phase of each phase voltage, can be decoupled into a first-order or second-order system, so the system structure is simple, and the control parameter design is convenient. The detection of unbalance indices of the three-phase unbalanced voltages with zero-sequence component can be realized with fast and stable characteristics. The simulation and experiments of the proposed PLL technique are carried out finally under several transient conditions of grid voltages, stable within a quarter cycle at the fastest and always stable in 50 ms, so as to validate the rapidness and stability of the proposed PLL technique.

Kinetic samplers for neural quantum states

Neural quantum states are a recently introduced class of variational many-body wave functions that are very flexible in approximating diverse quantum states. Optimization of an NQS ansatz requires sampling from the corresponding probability distribution defined by squared wave function amplitude. For this purpose, we propose to use kinetic sampling protocols and demonstrate that in many important cases such methods lead to much smaller autocorrelation times than the Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm while still allowing to easily implement lattice symmetries (unlike autoregressive models). We also use uniform manifold approximation and projection algorithm to construct two-dimensional isometric embedding of Markov chains and show that kinetic sampling helps attain a more homogeneous and ergodic coverage of the Hilbert space basis.

Multicopy Adaptive Local Discrimination: Strongest Possible Two-Qubit Nonlocal Bases.

Ensembles of composite quantum states can exhibit nonlocal behavior in the sense that their optimal discrimination may require global operations. Such an ensemble containing N pairwise orthogonal pure states, however, can always be perfectly distinguished under an adaptive local scheme if (N-1) copies of the state are available. In this Letter, we provide examples of orthonormal bases in two-qubit Hilbert space whose adaptive discrimination require three copies of the state. For this composite system, we analyze multicopy adaptive local distinguishability of orthogonal ensembles in full generality which, in turn, assigns varying nonlocal strength to different such ensembles. We also come up with ensembles whose discrimination under an adaptive separable scheme require less numbers of copies than adaptive local schemes. Our construction finds important application in multipartite secret sharing tasks and indicates toward an intriguing superadditivity phenomenon for locally accessible information.
