• Abstract summary: We construct a quantum-mechanical substitute for the symplectic phase space. The total space of this fiber bundle consists of geometric quantum states. We show that the set of equivalence classes of unitarily related geometric quantum states is in a one-to-one correspondence with the set of all Gaussian wavepackets.

• Abstract: We use the notion of polar duality from convex geometry and the theory of Lagrangian planes from symplectic geometry to construct a fiber bundle over ellipsoids that can be viewed as a quantum-mechanical substitute for the classical symplectic phase space. The total space of this fiber bundle consists of geometric quantum states, products of convex bodies carried by Lagrangian planes by their polar duals with respect to a second transversal Lagrangian plane.. Using the theory of the John ellipsoid we relate these geometric quantum states to the notion of "quantum blobs" introduced in previous work; quantum blobs are the smallest symplectic invariant regions of the phase space compatible with the uncertainty principle. We show that the set of equivalence classes of unitarily related geometric quantum states is in a one-to-one correspondence with the set of all Gaussian wavepackets.

• Relational Quantum Geometry [0.0]
  We identify non-commutative or quantum geometry as a mathematical framework which unifies three objects. We first provide a rigorous account of the extended phase space, and demonstrate that it can be regarded as a classical principal bundle with a Poisson manifold base. We conclude that the quantum orbifold is equivalent to the G-framed algebra proposed in prior work.

• Gaussian Entanglement Measure: Applications to Multipartite Entanglement of Graph States and Bosonic Field Theory [50.24983453990065]
  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

  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.

• Symplectic Polar Duality, Quantum Blobs, and Generalized Gaussians [0.0]
  We show that quantum blobs are the smallest symplectic invariant regions of the phase space compatible with the uncertainty principle in its strong Robertson--Schr"odinger form. We show that these phase space units can be characterized by a simple condition of reflexivity using polar duality, thus improving previous results.

  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.

  We study topological properties of bound pairs of photons in spatially-modulated qubit arrays coupled to a waveguide. For open boundary condition, we find exotic topological bound-pair edge states with radiative losses. By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.
