• Abstract: We develop a possibilistic semantic formalism for quantum phenomena from an operational perspective. This semantic system is based on a Chu duality between preparation processes and yes/no tests, the target space being a three-valued set equipped with an informational interpretation. A basic set of axioms is introduced for the space of states. This basic set of axioms suffices to constrain the space of states to be a projective domain. The subset of pure states is then characterized within this domain structure. After having specified the notions of properties and measurements, we explore the notion of compatibility between measurements and of minimally disturbing measurements. We achieve the characterization of the domain structure on the space of states by requiring the existence of a scheme of discriminating yes/no tests, necessary condition for the construction of an orthogonality relation on the space of states. This last requirement about the space of states constrain the corresponding projective domain to be ortho-complemented. An orthogonality relation is then defined on the space of states and its properties are studied. Equipped with this relation, the ortho-poset of ortho-closed subsets of pure states inherits naturally a structure of Hilbert lattice. Finally, the symmetries of the system are characterized as a general subclass of Chu morphisms. We prove that these Chu symmetries preserve the class of minimally disturbing measurements and the orthogonality relation between states. These symmetries lead naturally to the ortho-morphisms of Hilbert lattice defined on the set of ortho-closed subsets of pure states.

  It is possible to explain certain new fundamental symmetry aspects of ideal and very weakly interacting Bose gases. The propagation of one-directional time arises from the pre-defined and equivalent convergence of independent quantum fields. It is shown that Glauber's coherent states are related to the definition of the quantized field.

  We develop the theory of local operations and classical communication (LOCC) for bipartite quantum systems represented by commuting von Neumann algebras. Our theorem implies that, in a bipartite system modeled by commuting factors in Haag duality, a) all states have infinite one-shot entanglement if and only if the local factors are not of type I. In the appendix, we provide a self-contained treatment of majorization on semifinite von Neumann algebras and $sigma$-finite measure spaces.

  We work out an alternative basis consisting of monomials on the basic observables, with the crucial property of behaving well under symplectic transformations. Given the density matrix of a state, the expansion coefficients in that basis constitute the multipoles, which describe the state in a canonically covariant form that is both concise and explicit.

• Evolution of Discrete Symmetries [0.0]
  Local symmetries, in the sense of a symmetry that holds only in a finite domain of space, can be either the result of a self-organization process or a structural ingredient. We show that the resulting one-dimensional lattice consists of a transient followed by a subsequent periodic behaviour. By construction, the implanted local symmetries strongly overlap the resulting lattice possesses a dense skeleton of such symmetries.
