QUANTUM INFORMATION, ENTANGLEMENT AND ENTROPY

In this review I had given an introduction to axiomatic Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Information and its measure entropy. Also, I had given an introduction to Entanglement and its measure as the minimum of relative quantum entropy of a density matrix of a Hilbert space with respect to all separable density matrices of the same Hilbert space. I also discussed geodesic in the space of density matrices, their orthogonality and Pythagorean theorem of density matrix.

A THEOREM OF SOLÉR, THE THEORY OF SYMMETRY AND QUANTUM MECHANICS

A classical problem in axiomatic quantum mechanics is deducing a Hilbert space realization for a quantum logic that admits a vector space coordinatization of the Piron–McLaren type. Our aim is to show how a theorem of M. Solér [Characterization of Hilbert spaces by orthomodular spaces, Comm. Algebra23 (1995) 219–243.] can be used to get a (partial) solution of this problem. We first derive a generalization of the Wigner theorem on symmetry transformations that holds already in the Piron–McLaren frame. Then we investigate which conditions on the quantum logic allow the use of Solér's theorem in order to obtain a Hilbert space solution for the coordinatization problem.

Characterizations of posets via weak states

Weak states on posets are defined which are in some analogy to states on orthomodular posets used in axiomatic quantum mechanics. It is shown how certain properties of the set of weak states characterize certain properties of the underlying poset.
