چکیده

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 morphisms. We exemplify our techniques on the textbook case of 1-dimensional wavefunctions with periodic boundary conditions: we show the momentum and position observables to be well defined, and to give rise to a strongly complementary pair of unital commutative †-Frobenius algebras.

H*-algebras and nonunital Frobenius algebras: first steps in infinite-dimensional categorical quantum mechanics

A certain class of Frobenius algebras has been used to characterize orthonormal bases and observables on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The presence of units in these algebras means that they can only be realized finite-dimensionally. We seek a suitable generalization, which will allow arbitrary bases and observables to be described within categorical axiomatizations of quantum mechanics. W...

When the classical & quantum mechanical considerations hint to a single point; a microscopic particle in a one dimensional box with two infinite walls and a linear potential inside it

In this paper we have solved analytically the Schrödinger equation for a microscopic particle in a one-dimensional box with two infinite walls, which the potential function inside it, has a linear form. Based on the solutions of this special quantum mechanical system, we have shown that as the quantum number approaches infinity the expectation values of microscopic particle position and square ...

Hypergravity and Categorical Feynmanology

We propose a new line of attack to create a finite quantum theory which includes general relativity and (possibly) the standard model in its low energy limit. The theory would emerge naturally from the categorical approach. The traces of morphisms from the category of representations we use to construct the state sum also admit interpretation as Feynman diagrams, so the non-categorically minded...

Infinite Dimensional Hamiltonian Systems with Symmetries

We give a survey of infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems with infinite dimensional Lie groups as symmetry groups and discuss concrete examples from soliton equations, plasma physics, fluid mechanics and quantum field theory. We present some new results of applications to BRST symmetries and g-symplectic structures.

Reduction of an Infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian System in Classical and Quantum Mechanics Udc: 530.1

We show that classical or quantum mechanics can both be obtained from an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian system. The procedure consists in postulating mathematical representatives of the physical observables and performing a reduction of the Hamiltonian system (Η, Ω, Φt) by the corresponding phase groups as symmetry groups.
