A supervised learning algorithm for quantum neural networks (QNN) based on a novel quantum neuron node implemented as a very simple quantum circuit is proposed and investigated. In contrast to the QNN published in the literature, the proposed model can perform both quantum learning and simulate the classical models. This is partly due to the neural model used elsewhere which has weights and non...

This work will be devoted to the quantisation of the classical Bernoulli random walk over Z. As this random walk is isomorphic to the classical chaotic dynamical system x 7→ 2x mod 1 with x ∈ [0, 1], we will explore the rôle of classical periodic orbits of this chaotic map in relation with a non commutative algebra associated with the quantisation of the Bernoulli walk. In particular we show th...

We show that perturbative quantum gravity based on the Einstein-Hilbert action, has a novel continuum limit. The renormalized trajectory emanates from Gaussian fixed point along (marginally) relevant directions but enters diffeomorphism invariant subspace only well below dynamically generated scale. for pure to second order in perturbation theory, and with vanishing cosmological constant, resul...

We review certain emergent notions on the nature of spacetime from noncommutative geometry and their radical implications. These ideas of spacetime are suggested from developments in fuzzy physics, string theory, and deformation quantisation. The review focuses on the ideas coming from fuzzy physics. We find models of quantum spacetime like fuzzy S 4 on which states cannot be localised, but whi...

We study a phenomenon occuring in various areas of quantum physics, in which an observable density (such as an energy density) which is classically pointwise nonnegative may assume arbitrarily negative expectation values after quantisation, even though the spatially integrated density remains nonnegative. Two prominent examples which have previously been studied are the energy density (in quant...

The Gutzwiller trace formula provides a semiclassical approximation for the density of states of a quantum system in terms of classical periodic orbits. In its original form Gutzwiller derived the trace formula for quantum systems without spin. We will discuss the modifications that arise for quantum systems with both translational and spin degrees of freedom and which are either described by P...

Deutsch’s problem is the simplest and most frequently examined example of computational problem used to demonstrate the superiority of quantum computing over classical computing. Deutsch’s quantum algorithm has been claimed to be faster than any classical ones solving the same problem, only to be discovered later that this was not the case. Various de-quantised solutions for Deutsch’s quantum a...

The algebra of quantum matrices of a given size supports a rational torus action by automorphisms. It follows from work of Letzter and the first named author that to understand the prime and primitive spectra of this algebra, the first step is to understand the prime ideals that are invariant under the torus action. In this paper, we prove that a family of quantum minors is the set of all quant...

Coupled Tchebyscheff maps have recently been introduced to explain parameters in the standard model of particle physics, using the stochastic quantisation of Parisi and Wu. This paper studies dynamical properties of these maps, finding analytic expressions for a number of periodic states and determining their linear stability. Numerical evidence is given for nonlinear stability of some of these...
