Herein we study the problem of recovering a density operator from a set of compatible marginals, motivated by limitations of physical observations. Given that the set of compatible density operators is not singular, we adopt Jaynes’ principle and wish to characterize a compatible density operator with maximum entropy. We first show that comparing the entropy of compatible density operators is complete for the quantum computational complexity class QSZK, even for the simplest case of 3-chains. Then, we focus on the particular case of quantum Markov chains and trees and establish that for these cases, there exists a procedure polynomial in the number of subsystems that constructs the maximum entropy compatible density operator. Moreover, we extend the Chow–Liu algorithm to the same subclass of quantum states.

We analyze possible connections between quantum-inspired classifications and support vector machines. Quantum state discrimination and optimal quantum measurement are useful tools for classification problems. In order to use these tools, feature vectors have to be encoded in quantum states represented by density operators. Classification algorithms inspired by quantum state discrimination and implemented on classic computers have been recently proposed. We focus on the implementation of a known quantum-inspired classifier based on Helstrom state discrimination showing its connection with support vector machines and how to make the classification more efficient in terms of space and time acting on quantum encoding. In some cases, traditional methods provide better results. Moreover, we discuss the quantum-inspired nearest mean classification.

It is standard to assume that the Wigner distribution of a mixed quantum state consisting of square-integrable functions is a quasi-probability distribution, i.e., that its integral is one and that the marginal properties are satisfied. However, this is generally not true. We introduced a class of quantum states for which this property is satisfied; these states are dubbed “Feichtinger states” because they are defined in terms of a class of functional spaces (modulation spaces) introduced in the 1980s by H. Feichtinger. The properties of these states were studied, giving us the opportunity to prove an extension to the general case of a result due to Jaynes on the non-uniqueness of the statistical ensemble, generating a density operator.

If a quantum state is prescriptive then what state should an agent assign, what expectations does this justify, and what are the grounds for those expectations? I address these questions and introduce a third important idea—decoherence. A subsystem of a system assigned an entangled state may be assigned a mixed state represented by a density operator. Quantum state assignment is an objective matter, but the correct assignment must be relativized to the physical situation of an actual or hypothetical agent for whom its prescription offers good advice, since differently situated agents have access to different information. However this situation is described, it is true, empirically significant magnitude claims that make the description correct, while others provide the objective grounds for the agent’s expectations. Quantum models of environmental decoherence certify the empirical significance of these magnitude claims while also licensing application of the Born rule to others without mentioning measurement.

AbstractWe show that every Gaussian mixed quantum state can be disentangled by conjugation with a passive symplectic transformation, that is a metaplectic operator associated with a symplectic rotation. The main tools we use are the Werner–Wolf condition on covariance matrices and the symplectic covariance of Weyl quantization. Our result therefore complements a recent study by Lami, Serafini, and Adesso.

Abstract This paper contains some results connected with topologies generated by lower and semi-lower density operators. We show that in some measurable spaces (𝑋, 𝑆, 𝐽) there exists a semi-lower density operator which does not generate a topology. We investigate some properties of nowhere dense sets, meager sets and σ-algebras of sets having the Baire property, associated with the topology generated by a semi-lower density operator.

The effect of filtering operation with respect to purification and concentration of entanglement in quantum states are discussed in this paper. It is shown, through examples, that the local action of the filtering operator on a part of the composite quantum state allows for purification of the remaining part of the state. The redistribution of entanglement in the subsystems of a noise affected state is shown to be due to the action of local filtering on the non-decohering part of the system. The varying effects of the filtering parameter, on the entanglement transfer between the subsystems, depending on the choice of the initial quantum state is illustrated.

In this paper we study forward quantum Markov chains (QMC) defined on Cayley tree. A construction of such QMC is provided, namely we construct states on finite volumes with boundary conditions, and define QMC as a weak limit of those states which depends on the boundary conditions. Using the provided construction, we investigate QMC associated with XY-model on a Cayley tree of order two. We prove uniqueness of QMC associated with such a model, this means the QMC does not depend on the boundary conditions.
