- Abstract: Duality transformations are very important in both classical and quantum
physics. They allow one to relate two seemingly different formulations of the
same physical realm through clever mathematical manipulations, and offer
numerous advantages for the study of many-body physics. In this work, we
suggest a method which shall introduce them to the world of quantum simulation
too: a feasible scheme for implementing duality transformations as physical
operations, mapping between dual quantum states showing the same observable
physics, rather than just a mathematical trick. Demonstrating with Abelian
lattice models, we show how duality transformations could be implemented in the
laboratory as sequences of single- and two-body operations - unitaries and
measurements.

We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide.
When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits.
We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

Composite particle duality extends notions of flux attachment and statistical transmutation in spacetime dimensions beyond 2+1D.
The immediate implication of the duality is that an interacting quantum system in arbitrary dimensions can experience a modification of its statistical properties if coupled to a certain gauge field.

Multiphoton correlations in linear photonic quantum networks are governed by matrix permanents.
We show that the overall multiphoton behavior of a network from its individual building blocks typically defies intuition.
Our results underline new ways in which quantum correlations may be preserved in counterintuitive ways even in small-scale non-Hermitian networks.

In Hamiltonian simulation, a physical Hamiltonian is engineered to have identical physics to another - often very different - Hamiltonian.
Existing characterisations of Hamiltonian simulations are not sufficiently general to extend to all dualities in physics.
We give three physically motivated axiomatisations of duality, formulated respectively in terms of observables, partition functions and entropies.
We prove that these axiomatisations are equivalent, and the mathematical form that any duality satisfying these axioms must take.

Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same.
Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles.
We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

relations [0.0]
Bohr's complementarity principle states that, with a given experimental apparatus configuration, one can observe either the wave-like or the particle-like character of a quantum system, but not both.
Recently, a formalism was developed and quantifiers for the particleness and waveness of a quantum system were derived from the mathematical structure of QM.
In this article, we perform experimental tests of these complementarity relations applied to a particular class of one-qubit quantum states and also for random quantum states of one, two, and three qubits.
