• Abstract: A path-integral approach is used to study the spectral properties of the generators of the SO(2,1) symmetry of conformal quantum mechanics (CQM). In particular, we consider the CQM version that corresponds to the weak-coupling regime of the inverse square potential. We develop a general framework to characterize a generic symmetry generator $G$ (linear combinations of the Hamiltonian $H$, special conformal operator $K$, and dilation operator $D$), from which the path-integral propagators follow, leading to a complete spectral decomposition. This is done for the three classes of operators: elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic. We also highlight novel results for the hyperbolic operators, with a continuous spectrum, and their quantum-mechanical interpretation. The spectral technique developed for the eigensystem of continuous-spectrum operators can be generalized to other operator problems.

  An observer with a finite lifetime perceives the Minkowski vacuum as a thermal state at temperature $T_D = 2 hbar/(pi mathcalT)$. In this paper, we explore the emergence of thermality in causal diamonds due to the role played by the symmetries of conformal quantum mechanics.

  We propose an alternative paradigm for the symmetry-informed construction of variational quantum circuits. We achieve this by introducing horizontal quantum gates, which only transform the state with respect to the directions to those of the symmetry. For a particular subclass of horizontal gates based on symmetric spaces, we can obtain efficient circuit decompositions for our gates through the KAK theorem.

We show that this non-standard quantum algebra can be used to define an effective model Hamiltonian describing accurately the experimental spectra of three-electron hybrid qubits.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

• Quantum scrambling of observable algebras [0.0]
  quantum scrambling is defined by how the associated physical degrees of freedom get mixed up with others by the dynamics. This is accomplished by introducing a measure, the geometric algebra anti-correlator (GAAC) of the self-orthogonalization of the commutant of $cal A$ induced by the dynamics. For generic energy spectrum we find explicit expressions for the infinite-time average of the GAAC which encode the relation between $cal A$ and the full system of Hamiltonian eigenstates.
