• Abstract: This article constructs the Hilbert space for the algebra $\alpha \beta - e^{i \theta} \beta \alpha = 1 $ that provides a continuous interpolation between the Clifford and Heisenberg algebras. This particular form is inspired by the properties of anyons. We study the eigenvalues of a generalized number operator (${\cal N} = \beta \alpha$) and construct the Hilbert space, classified by values of a complex coordinate ($\lambda_0$): the eigenvalues lie on a circle. For $\theta$ being an irrational multiple of $2 \pi$, we get an infinite-dimensional representation, however for a rational multiple ($\frac{M}{N}$) of $2 \pi$, it is finite-dimensional, parametrized by the complex coordinate $\lambda_0$. The case for $N=2 \: ; \: \theta=\pi$ is the usual Clifford algebra for fermions, while the case for $N=\infty \: ; \: \theta=0$ is the Heisenberg algebra of bosons, albeit with two copies for positive and negative eigenvalues. We find a smooth transition from the fermion to the boson situation as $N \rightarrow \infty$ from $N=2$. After constructing the Hilbert space from the algebra, the cases for $N=2,3$ can be mapped to $SU(2)$. Then, we motivate the study of coherent states, rather generally. The coherent states are eigenstates of $\alpha$, the annihilation operator and are labeled by complex numbers for non-zero $\lambda_0$.

  We show how to define a quantized many-body charge polarization $vecmathscrP$ for (2+1)D topological phases of matter, even in the presence of non-zero Chern number and magnetic field. We derive colored Hofstadter butterflies, corresponding to the quantized value of $vecmathscrP$, which further refine the colored butterflies from the Chern number and discrete shift.

  We provide a systematic treatment of boundaries based on subgroups $Ksubseteq G$ with the Kitaev quantum double $D(G)$ model in the bulk. The boundary sites are representations of a $*$-subalgebra $Xisubseteq D(G)$ and we explicate its structure as a strong $*$-quasi-Hopf algebra. As an application of our treatment, we study patches with boundaries based on $K=G$ horizontally and $K=e$ vertically and show how these could be used in a quantum computer

• 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.
