• Abstract summary: We show that the covariance matrix of a quantum state can be reconstructed from position measurements using the simple notion of polar duality. All multidimensional Gaussian states (pure or mixed) can in principle be reconstructed if the quantum system is well localized in configuration space.

• Abstract: We show that the covariance matrix of a quantum state can be reconstructed from position measurements using the simple notion of polar duality, familiar from convex geometry. In particular, all multidimensional Gaussian states (pure or mixed) can in principle be reconstructed if the quantum system is well localized in configuration space. The main observation which makes this possible is that the John ellipsoid of the Cartesian product of the position localization by its polar dual contains a quantum blob, and can therefore be identified with the covariance ellipsoid of a quantum state.

  The dimension of a quantum state is traditionally seen as the number of superposed distinguishable states in a given basis. We propose an absolute, i.e.basis-independent, notion of dimensionality for ensembles of quantum states.

• Many-Body Quantum Geometric Dipole [0.0]
  Collective excitations of many-body electron systems can carry internal structure, tied to the quantum geometry of the Hilbert space in which they are embedded. We demonstrate in this work that this property can be formulated in a generic way, which does not require wavefunctions expressed in terms of single particle-hole states. Our study demonstrates that the QGD is an intrinsic property of collective modes which is valid beyond approximations one might make for their wavefunctions.

  A core principle of quantum theory is that non-orthogonal quantum states cannot be perfectly distinguished with single-shot measurements. Here we implement a quantum state elimination measurement which unambiguously rules out two of four pure, non-orthogonal quantum states.

  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.
