• Abstract: We describe a systematic method to construct models of Chern insulators whose Berry curvature and the quantum volume form coincide and are flat over the Brillouin zone; such models are known to be suitable for hosting fractional Chern insulators. The bands of Chern insulator models where the Berry curvature and the quantum volume form coincide, and are nowhere vanishing, are known to induce the structure of a K\"ahler manifold in momentum space, and thus we are naturally led to define K\"ahler bands to be Chern bands satisfying such properties. We show how to construct a geometrically flat K\"ahler band, with Chern number equal to minus the total number of bands in the system, using the idea of K\"ahler quantization and properties of Bergman kernel asymptotics. We show that, with our construction, the geometrical properties become flatter as the total number of bands in the system is increased; we also show the no-go theorem that it is not possible to construct geometrically perfectly flat K\"ahler bands with a finite number of bands. We give an explicit realization of this construction in terms of theta functions and numerically confirm how the constructed K\"ahler bands become geometrically flat as we increase the number of bands. We also show the effect of truncating hoppings at a finite length, which will generally result in deviation from a perfect K\"ahler band but does not seem to seriously affect the flatness of the geometrical properties.

  We show that the Hall conductivity is quantized to $e2C_ij/h$, where $C_ij$ is the first Chern number. We demonstrate that although it receives contributions from both Abelian and non-Abelian Bloch states, the Chern number can be calculated solely from Abelian states.

  Recently Freedman & Hastings asked for a mathematical theory that would unify quantum entanglement/tensor-structure with parameterized/-structure. We make precise a form of the relevant pushout diagram in monoidal category theory. We show how this model category serves as categorical semantics for the linear-multiplicative fragment of Linear Homotopy Type Theory.

• Continuous percolation in a Hilbert space for a large system of qubits [58.720142291102135]
  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

  A model with two entangled spin-3/2 particles based on geometry of dodecahedron was suggested by Roger Penrose. The model was later reformulated using so-called Witting configuration with 40 rays in 4D Hilbert space. Two entangled systems with quantum states described by Witting configurations are discussed in presented work.

• A Quantum Complexity Lowerbound from Differential Geometry [0.0]
  I apply the Bishop-Gromov bound to Nielsen's complexity geometry to prove lowerbounds on the quantum complexity of a typical unitary. For a broad class of penalty schedules, the typical complexity is shown to be exponentially large in the number of qubits. This method realizes the original vision of Nielsen, which was to apply the tools of differential geometry to study quantum complexity.
