• Abstract: Understanding the extreme sensitivity of the eigenvalues of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians to the boundary conditions is of great importance when analyzing non-Hermitian systems, as it appears generically and is intimately connected to the skin effect and the breakdown of the conventional bulk boundary correspondence. Here we describe a method to find the eigenvalues of one-dimensional one-band models with arbitrary boundary conditions. We use this method on several systems to find analytical expressions for the eigenvalues, which give us conditions on the parameter values in the system for when we can expect the spectrum to be insensitive to a change in boundary conditions. By stacking one-dimensional chains, we use the derived results to find corresponding conditions for insensitivity for some two-dimensional systems with periodic boundary conditions in one direction. This would be hard by using other methods to detect skin effect, such as the winding of the determinant of the Bloch Hamiltonian. Finally, we use these results to make predictions about the (dis)appearance of the skin effect in purely two-dimensional systems with open boundary conditions in both directions.

• Towards Spectral Convergence of Locally Linear Embedding on Manifolds with Boundary [0.0]
  We study the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a differential operator that governs the behavior of the unsupervised learning algorithm known as Locally Linear Embedding. We show that a natural regularity condition on the eigenfunctions imposes a consistent boundary condition and use the Frobenius method to estimate pointwise behavior.

• The signaling dimension in generalized probabilistic theories [48.99818550820575]
  The signaling dimension of a given physical system quantifies the minimum dimension of a classical system required to reproduce all input/output correlations of the given system. We show that it suffices to consider extremal measurements with rayextremal effects, and we bound the number of elements of any such measurement in terms of the linear dimension. For systems with a finite number of extremal effects, we recast the problem of characterizing the extremal measurements with ray-extremal effects.

• Eigenvalue sensitivity from eigenstate geometry near and beyond arbitrary-order exceptional points [0.0]
  Systems with an effectively non-Hermitian Hamiltonian display an enhanced sensitivity to parametric and dynamic perturbations. This sensitivity can be quantified by the phase rigidity, which mathematically corresponds to the eigenvalue condition number. I derive an exact nonperturbative expression for this sensitivity measure that applies to arbitrary eigenvalue configurations.

• Identifiability and Asymptotics in Learning Homogeneous Linear ODE Systems from Discrete Observations [114.17826109037048]
  Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) have recently gained a lot of attention in machine learning. theoretical aspects, e.g., identifiability and properties of statistical estimation are still obscure. This paper derives a sufficient condition for the identifiability of homogeneous linear ODE systems from a sequence of equally-spaced error-free observations sampled from a single trajectory.

  We establish lower bounds on the spectral degeneracy of quantum systems with higher Gauge Like symmetries. We exploit the effects of modified boundary conditions. We briefly discuss why, in spite of the proven large degeneracy associated with infrared-ultraviolet mixing, some systems may still exhibit conventional physical behaviors.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

  We introduce a family of neural quantum states for the simulation of strongly interacting systems in the presence of periodicity. For one-dimensional systems we find very precise estimations of the ground-state energies and the radial distribution functions of the particles. In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.
