General Covariance in Quantum Gravity

The question of general covariance in quantum gravity is considered in the first post-Newtonian approximation. Transformation properties of observable quantities under deformations of a reference frame, induced by variations of the gauge conditions fixing general invariance, are determined. It is found that the one-loop contributions violate the principle of general covariance, in the sense tha...

Covariance Approach to Quantum Theory

Quantum covariance , quantum Fisher information and the uncertainty principle

In this paper the relation between quantum covariances and quantum Fisher informations are studied. This study is applied to generalize a recently proved uncertainty relation based on quantum Fisher information. The proof given here considerably simplifies the previously proposed proofs and leads to more general inequalities. 2000Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 62B10, 94A17; Seconda...

Discrete Lorentz covariance for quantum walks and quantum cellular automata

We formalize a notion of discrete Lorentz transforms for quantum walks (QW) and quantum cellular automata (QCA), in + (1 1)-dimensional discrete spacetime. The theory admits a diagrammatic representation in terms of a few local, circuit equivalence rules. Within this framework, we show the first-order-only covariance of the Dirac QW. We then introduce the clock QW and the clock QCA, and prove t...

Covariance and Fisher information in quantum mechanics

Variance and Fisher information are ingredients of the Cramér-Rao inequality. We regard Fisher information as a Riemannian metric on a quantum statistical manifold and choose monotonicity under coarse graining as the fundamental property of variance and Fisher information. In this approach we show that there is a kind of dual one-to-one correspondence between the candidates of the two concepts....
