• Title: Symplectic and Lagrangian Polar Duality; Applications to Quantum Information Geometry
• Authors: Maurice de Gosson and Charlyne de Gosson
• Abstract summary: We study two symplectically covariant versions of polar duality. The first variant makes use of the symplectic form on phase space and allows a precise study of the covariance matrix of a density operator. The second variant is a symplectically covariant version of the usual polar duality highlighting the role played by Lagrangian planes.

• Abstract: Polar duality is a well-known concept from convex geometry and analysis. In the present paper, we study two symplectically covariant versions of polar duality keeping in mind their applications to quantum mechanics. The first variant makes use of the symplectic form on phase space and allows a precise study of the covariance matrix of a density operator. The latter is a fundamental object in quantum information theory., The second variant is a symplectically covariant version of the usual polar duality highlighting the role played by Lagrangian planes. It allows us to define the notion of "geometric quantum states" with are in bijection with generalized Gaussians.

  In quantum gravity theory, a state-dependent gravitational potential introduces nonlinearity into the state evolution. The formalism for understanding the continuous quantum measurement process on the quantum state has been previously discussed using the Schr"odinger picture. In this work, an equivalent formalism using the Heisenberg picture is developed and applied to the analysis of two optomechanical experiment protocols.

  Chirality is a gapped phase of matter in two spatial dimensions that can be manifested through non-zero thermal or electrical Hall conductance. We prove two no-go theorems that forbid such chirality for a quantum state in a finite dimensional local Hilbert space with strict area law entanglement entropies.

  We identify two different classes: the near edge physics of sparse'' and the near edge of dense'' chaotic systems. The distinction lies in the ratio between the number of a system's random parameters and its Hilbert space dimension. While the two families share identical spectral correlations at energy scales comparable to the level spacing, the density of states and its fluctuations near the edge are different.

  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.
