• Abstract: Here, we clarify the physical aspects between the discrete Weyl-Wigner (W-W) formalism, well developed in condensed matter physics, and the so-called 'precise Weyl-Wigner calculus for lattice models' recently appearing in the literature. We point out that the use of compact continuous momentum space for a discrete lattice model is unphysically founded. It has an incommensurate phase space, highly unphysical, lacks the finite fields aspects, as exemplified by the Born-von Karman boundary condition of compactified Bravais lattice of solid-state physics, and leads to several ambiguities. This new W-W formalism simply lacks bijective Fourier transformation, which is well-known to support the uncertainty principle of canonical conjugate dynamical variables of quantum physics. Moreover, this new W-W formalism for lattice models failed to handle the quantum physics of qubits, representing two discrete lattice sites.

  This paper explores the explicit design of quantum circuits for quantum simulation of partial differential equations (PDEs) with physical boundary conditions. We present two methods for handling the inhomogeneous terms arising from time-dependent physical boundary conditions. We then apply the quantum simulation technique from [CJL23] to transform the resulting non-autonomous system to an autonomous system in one higher dimension.

  We present a fully Hamiltonian theory of quantum-classical dynamics that appears to be the first to ensure a series of consistency properties. Based on Lagrangian phase-space paths, the model possesses a quantum-classical Poincar'e integral invariant as well as infinite classes of Casimir functionals.

  We find that the usual thermodynamic limit is not necessary in order to have the inequivalent representations needed for the existence of physically disjoint phases of the system. This is a new type of inequivalence, due to the nontrivial topological structure of the phase space, that appears at finite volume.

  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.

• A unified diagrammatic approach to topological fixed point models [0.0]
  We introduce a systematic mathematical language for describing fixed point models and apply it to the study of topological phases of matter. The framework is reminiscent of state-sum models and lattice topological quantum field theories, but is formalised and unified in terms of tensor networks. In contrast to existing tensor network ansatzes for the study of ground states of topologically ordered phases, the tensor networks in our formalism represent discrete path integrals in Euclidean space-time.
