• Abstract: We develop a version of quantum mechanics that can handle nonassociative algebras of observables and which reduces to standard quantum theory in the traditional associative setting. Our algebraic approach is naturally probabilistic and is based on using the universal enveloping algebra of a general nonassociative algebra to introduce a generalized notion of associative composition product. We formulate properties of states together with notions of trace, and use them to develop GNS constructions. We describe Heisenberg and Schr\"odinger pictures of completely positive dynamics, and we illustrate our formalism on the explicit examples of finite-dimensional matrix Jordan algebras as well as the octonion algebra.

  We use our framework to reproduce the symmetry-based representations from the symmetry-based disentangled representation learning formalism. We then study the algebras of the transformations of worlds with features that occur in simple reinforcement learning scenarios. Using computational methods, that we developed, we extract the algebras of the transformations of these worlds and classify them according to their properties.

• Classification of dynamical Lie algebras for translation-invariant 2-local spin systems in one dimension [44.41126861546141]
  We provide a classification of Lie algebras generated by translation-invariant 2-local spin chain Hamiltonians. We consider chains with open and periodic boundary conditions and find 17 unique dynamical Lie algebras. In addition to the closed and open spin chains, we consider systems with a fully connected topology, which may be relevant for quantum machine learning approaches.

We show that any tight teleportation scheme for $N$ necessarily arises from an orthonormal unitary Pimsner-Popa basis of $M_n(mathbbC)$ over $N'$.

  The Onsager algebra is one of the cornerstones of exactly solvable models in statistical mechanics. We demonstrate its relations to the graph Temperley-Lieb algebra, and a generalisation of the Onsager algebra. We present a series of quantum lattice models as representations of the generalised Clifford algebra.
