• Authors: Miloslav Znojil
• Abstract summary: The theory is called non-Hermitian interaction-picture, NIP. In our paper the key role played by identity $H(t)=G(t)+Sigma(t)$ is shown to imply that there exist just three alternative meaningful implementations of the NIP approach.

• Abstract: A $(K+1)-$plet of non-Hermitian and time-dependent operators (say, $\Lambda_j(t)$, $j=0,1,\ldots,K$) can be interpreted as the set of observables characterizing a unitary quantum system. What is required is the existence of a self-adjoint and, in general, time-dependent operator (say, $\Theta(t)$ called inner product metric) making the operators quasi-Hermitian, $\Lambda_j^\dagger(t)\Theta(t)=\Theta(t)\Lambda_j(t)$. The theory (called non-Hermitian interaction-picture, NIP) requires a separate description of the evolution of the states $\psi(t)$ (realized, via Schr\"{o}dinger-type equation, by a generator, say, $G(t)$) and of the observables themselves (a different generator (say, $\Sigma(t)(t)$) occurs in the related non-Hermitian Heisenberg-type equation). Every $\Lambda_j(t)$ (and, in particular, Hamiltonian $H(t)=\Lambda_0(t)$) appears isospectral to its hypothetical isospectral and self-adjoint (but, by assumption, prohibitively user-unfriendly) avatar $\lambda_j(t)=\Omega(t)\Lambda_j(t)\Omega^{-1}(t)$ with $\Omega^\dagger(t)\Omega(t)=\Theta(t)$. In our paper the key role played by identity $H(t)=G(t)+\Sigma(t)$ is shown to imply that there exist just three alternative meaningful implementations of the NIP approach, viz., ``number one'' (a ``dynamical'' strategy based on the knowledge of $H(t)$), ``number two'' (a ``kinematical'' one, based on the Coriolis force $\Sigma(t)$) and ``number three'' (in the literature, such a construction based on $G(t)$ is most popular but, paradoxically, it is also most complicated).

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.
