• Abstract: The thermal equilibrium distribution over quantum-mechanical wave functions is a so-called Gaussian adjusted projected (GAP) measure, $GAP(\rho_\beta)$, for a thermal density operator $\rho_\beta$ at inverse temperature $\beta$. More generally, $GAP(\rho)$ is a probability measure on the unit sphere in Hilbert space for any density operator $\rho$ (i.e., a positive operator with trace 1). In this note, we collect the mathematical details concerning the rigorous definition of $GAP(\rho)$ in infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces. Its existence and uniqueness follows from Prohorov's theorem on the existence and uniqueness of Gaussian measures in Hilbert spaces with given mean and covariance. We also give an alternative existence proof. Finally, we give a proof that $GAP(\rho)$ depends continuously on $\rho$ in the sense that convergence of $\rho$ in the trace norm implies weak convergence of $GAP(\rho)$.

  We show that $gamma(theta)$ only takes non-zero values at isolated points of $theta$, which is $theta=pi$ for all our examples. In two exemplary lattice systems we show that $gamma(pi)$ takes quantized values when the U(1) symmetry exhibits a specific type of 't Hooft anomaly with other symmetries.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

• Factorized Hilbert-space metrics and non-commutative quasi-Hermitian observables [0.0]
  It is well known that an (in general, non-commutative) set of non-Hermitian operators $Lambda_j$ with real eigenvalues need not necessarily represent observables. We describe a specific class of quantum models in which these operators plus the underlying physical Hilbert-space metric $Theta$ are all represented.

  The observables associated with a quantum system $S$ form a non-commutative algebra $mathcal A_S$. It is assumed that a density matrix $rho$ can be determined from the expectation values of observables. Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.
