Abstract: A Lagrangian description of the qubit based on a generalization of Schwinger's picture of Quantum Mechanics using the notion of groupoids is presented. In this formalism a Feynman-like computation of its probability amplitudes is done. The Lagrangian is interpreted as a function on the groupoid describing the quantum system. Such Lagrangian determines a self-adjoint element on its associated algebra. Feynman's paths are replaced by histories on the groupoid which form themselves a groupoid. A simple method to compute the sum over all histories is discussed. The unitarity of the propagator obtained in this way imposes quantization conditions on the Lagrangian of the theory. Some particular instances of them are discussed in detail.

Fermionic anyons: entanglement and quantum computation from a resource-theoretic perspective [39.58317527488534]
We develop a framework to characterize the separability of a specific type of one-dimensional quasiparticle known as a fermionic anyon. We map this notion of fermionic-anyon separability to the free resources of matchgate circuits. We also identify how entanglement between two qubits encoded in a dual-rail manner, as standard for matchgate circuits, corresponds to the notion of entanglement between fermionic anyons.

Quantum dissipation and the virial theorem [22.1682776279474]
We study the celebrated virial theorem for dissipative systems, both classical and quantum. The non-Markovian nature of the quantum noise leads to novel bath-induced terms in the virial theorem. We also consider the case of an electrical circuit with thermal noise and analyze the role of non-Markovian noise in the context of the virial theorem.

The problem of tomographic reconstruction of states is investigated within the so-called Schwinger's picture of Quantum Mechanics. The main goal of the paper consists in providing a reconstruction formula for states on the groupoid-algebra associated with the observables of the system.

Quantum particle across Grushin singularity [77.34726150561087]
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.

Poincar\'{e} crystal on the one-dimensional lattice [8.25487382053784]
We develop the quantum theory of particles with discrete Poincar'e symmetry on the one-dimensional Bravais lattice. We find the conditions for the existence of representation, which are expressed as the congruence relation between quasi-momentum and quasi-energy. During the propagation, the particles stay localized on a single or a few sites to preserve the Lorentz symmetry.
