We consider pseudo-unitary quantum systems and discuss various properties of pseudounitary operators. In particular we prove a characterization theorem for block-diagonalizable pseudo-unitary operators with finite-dimensional diagonal blocks. Furthermore, we show that every pseudo-unitary matrix is the exponential of i = √ −1 times a pseudo-Hermitian matrix, and determine the structure of the L...

The unitary braiding operators describing topological entanglements can be viewed as universal quantum gates for quantum computation. With the help of the Brylinski’s theorem, the unitary solutions of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation can be also related to universal quantum gates. This paper derives unitary solutions of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation via Yang–Baxterization from the solutions ...
