• Abstract: We introduce, for the first time, bicoherent-state path integration as a method for quantizing non-hermitian systems. Bicoherent-state path integrals arise as a natural generalization of ordinary coherent-state path integrals, familiar from hermitian quantum physics. We do all this by working out a concrete example, namely, computation of the propagator of a certain quasi-hermitian variant of Swanson's model, which is not invariant under conventional $PT$-transformation. The resulting propagator coincides with that of the propagator of the standard harmonic oscillator, which is isospectral with the model under consideration by virtue of a similarity transformation relating the corresponding hamiltonians. We also compute the propagator of this model in position space by means of Feynman path integration and verify the consistency of the two results.

  We propose a novel generalization of the quantum geometric tensor, which offers a universal approach to studying phase transitions in non-Hermitian quantum systems. Our generalization is based on the concept of the generator of adiabatic transformations and can be applied to systems described by either a Liouvillian superoperator or by an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian.

  We show the ability to restore states of quantum systems from evolution induced by quantum dynamical semigroups perturbed by covariant measures. Our procedure describes reconstruction of quantum states transmitted via quantum channels and as a particular example can be applied to reconstruction of photonic states transmitted via optical fibers.

• Integral formula for quantum relative entropy implies data processing inequality [0.0]
  We prove the monotonicity of quantum relative entropy under trace-preserving positive linear maps. For a simple application of such monotonicities, we consider any divergence' that is non-increasing under quantum measurements. An argument due to Hiai, Ohya, and Tsukada is used to show that the infimum of such a divergence' on pairs of quantum states with prescribed trace distance is the same as the corresponding infimum on pairs of binary classical states.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
