Categorical Quantum Mechanics
Our aim is to revisit the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics from a novel point of view. The standard axiomatic presentation of quantum mechanics in terms of Hilbert spaces, essentially due to von Neumann [1932], has provided the mathematical bedrock of the subject for over 70 years. Why, then, might it be worthwhile to revisit it now? First and foremost, the advent of quantum inform...
متن کاملComplementarity in categorical quantum mechanics
We relate notions of complementarity in three layers of quantum mechanics: (i) von Neumann algebras, (ii) Hilbert spaces, and (iii) orthomodular lattices. Taking a more general categorical perspective of which the above are instances, we consider dagger monoidal kernel categories for (ii), so that (i) become (sub)endohomsets and (iii) become subobject lattices. By developing a ‘point-free’ defi...
متن کاملInfinite-dimensional Categorical Quantum Mechanics
We use non-standard analysis to define a category ?Hilb suitable for categorical quantum mechanics in arbitrary separable Hilbert spaces, and we show that standard bounded operators can be suitably embedded in it. We show the existence of unital special commutative †-Frobenius algebras, and we conclude ?Hilb to be compact closed, with partial traces and a Hilbert-Schmidt inner product on morphi...
متن کاملNoncommutative quantum mechanics from noncommutative quantum field theory.
We derive noncommutative multiparticle quantum mechanics from noncommutative quantum field theory in the nonrelativistic limit. Particles of opposite charges are found to have opposite noncommutativity. As a result, there is no noncommutative correction to the hydrogen atom spectrum at the tree level. We also comment on the obstacles to take noncommutative phenomenology seriously and propose a ...
متن کاملDeformation Quantization: From Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Field Theory
The aim of this paper is to give a basic overview of Deformation Quantization (DQ) to physicists. A summary is given here of some of the key developments over the past thirty years in the context of physics, from quantum mechanics to quantum field theory. Also, we discuss some of the conceptual advantages of DQ and how DQ may be related to algebraic quantum field theory. Additionally, our previ...
