• Abstract: To simulate the quantum systems at classical or quantum computers, it is necessary to reduce continuous observables (e.g. coordinate and momentum or energy and time) to discrete ones. In this work we consider the continuous observables represented in the positional systems as a series of powers of the radix mulitplied over the summands (``digits``), which turn out to be Hermitean operators with discrete spectrum. We investigate the obtained quantum mechanical operators of digits, the commutation relations between them and the effects of choice of numeral system on the lattices and representations. Furthermore, during the construction of the digital representation renormalizations of diverging sums naturally occur.

  We argue that for uniformly accelerated open systems, the formalism must breakdown as we move from a Fock representation of the quantum noise to a unitarily inequivalent non-Fock representation. The unitary inequivalence ultimately being a consequence of the underlying flat noise spectrum approximation for the fundamental quantum processes.

We show that depending on the dissipative mechanisms at play, the choice of input state has a strong impact on the performance of the quantum algorithm.

  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 the time evolution operator in a family of local quantum circuits with random fields in a fixed direction. We show that for the systems under consideration the generalised spectral form factor can be expressed in terms of dynamical correlation functions. This also provides a connection between the many-body Thouless time $tau_rm th$ -- the time at which the generalised spectral form factor starts following the random matrix theory prediction -- and the conservation laws of the system.

• Ternary and Binary Representation of Coordinate and Momentum in Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
  We consider a problem based on expanding quantum observables in series in powers of two and three analogous to the binary and ternary representations of real numbers. The coefficients of the series ("digits") are, therefore, Hermitian operators. We show that the binary and ternary expansions of quantum observables automatically leads to renormalization of some divergent integrals and series.
