• Abstract: Using the complex Klein-Gordon field as a model, we quantize the quaternionic scalar field in the real Hilbert space. The lagrangian formulation has accordingly been obtained, as well as the hamiltonian formulation, and the energy and charge operators. Conversely to the complex case, the quaternionic quantization admits two quantization schemes, concerning either two or four components. Therefore, the quaternionic field permits a richer structure of states, if compared to the complex scalar field case. Moreover, the quaternionic theory admits as a further novel feature a non-associative algebraic structure in their complex components, something not observed in the complex case.

  Three major misconceptions concerning quantized tachyon fields are shown to be a result of misrepresenting the Lorentz group in a too small Hilbert space. We establish an explicitly covariant framework that allows for the proper quantization of the tachyon fields eliminating all of these issues.

• 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.

• Circuit Complexity in Topological Quantum Field Theory [0.0]
  Quantum circuit complexity has played a central role in advances in holography and many-body physics. In a departure from standard treatments, we aim to quantify the complexity of the Euclidean path integral. We argue that the pants decomposition provides a natural notion of circuit complexity within the category of 2-dimensional bordisms. We use it to formulate the circuit complexity of states and operators in 2-dimensional topological quantum field theory.
