• Authors: Mohamed Sabba,
• Abstract summary: We describe a "quantum Pascal pyramid" as a generalization of Pascal's triangle. An extension of the devrevre-Laplace theorem is applied to the $q$-th columns of the quantum pyramid. An exercise is shown in which the first two columns of the quantum Pascal pyramid are used to calculate the previously known Hermite-Gaussian modes in laser physics.

• Abstract: Pascal's triangle is widely used as a pedagogical tool to explain the "first-order" multiplet patterns that arise in the spectra of $I_N S$ coupled spin-1/2 systems in magnetic resonance. Various other combinatorial structures, which may be well-known in the broader field of quantum dynamics, appear to have largely escaped the attention of the magnetic resonance community with a few exceptions, despite potential usefulness. In this brief set of lecture notes, we describe a "quantum Pascal pyramid" (OEIS https://oeis.org/A268533) as a generalization of Pascal's triangle, which is shown to directly map the relationship between multispin operators of arbitrary spin product rank $q$ ($\hat{Z}_N^q$) and population operators for states with magnetic quantum number $m$ ($\hat{S}_N^m$), and - as a consequence - obtain the general form of the intensity ratios of multiplets associated with antiphase single-quantum coherences, with an expression given in terms of the Jacobi polynomials. An extension of the de Moivre-Laplace theorem, beyond the trivial case $q=0$, is applied to the $q$-th columns of the quantum Pascal pyramid, and is given in terms of a product of the $q$-th order Hermite polynomials and a Gaussian distribution, reproducing the well-known functional forms of the solutions of the quantum harmonic oscillator and the classical limit of Hermite-Gaussian modes in laser physics (Allen et al., $\textit{Phys. Rev. A.}$, $\textbf{45}$, 1992). This is used to approximate the Fourier-transformed spectra of $\hat{Z}_N^q$-associated multiplets of arbitrary complexity. Finally, an exercise is shown in which the first two columns of the quantum Pascal pyramid are used to calculate the previously known symmetry-constrained upper bound on $I_z \rightarrow S_z$ polarization transfer in $I_N S$ spin systems.

  We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons. Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability. The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.

• Quantum scrambling of observable algebras [0.0]
  quantum scrambling is defined by how the associated physical degrees of freedom get mixed up with others by the dynamics. This is accomplished by introducing a measure, the geometric algebra anti-correlator (GAAC) of the self-orthogonalization of the commutant of $cal A$ induced by the dynamics. For generic energy spectrum we find explicit expressions for the infinite-time average of the GAAC which encode the relation between $cal A$ and the full system of Hamiltonian eigenstates.
