• Title: The wave function of stabilizer states and the Wehrl conjecture
• Authors: Fabio Nicola,
• Abstract summary: We focus on quantum systems represented by a Hilbert space $L(A)$, where $A$ is a locally compact Abelian group that contains a compact open subgroup. We provide a complete and elegant solution to the problem of describing the stabilizer states in terms of their wave functions, an issue that arises in quantum information theory. We demonstrate that the stabilizer states are precisely the minimizers of the Wehrl entropy functional, thereby resolving the analog of the Wehrl conjecture for any such group.

• Abstract: We focus on quantum systems represented by a Hilbert space $L^2(A)$, where $A$ is a locally compact Abelian group that contains a compact open subgroup. We examine two interconnected issues related to Weyl-Heisenberg operators. First, we provide a complete and elegant solution to the problem of describing the stabilizer states in terms of their wave functions, an issue that arises in quantum information theory. Subsequently, we demonstrate that the stabilizer states are precisely the minimizers of the Wehrl entropy functional, thereby resolving the analog of the Wehrl conjecture for any such group. Additionally, we construct a moduli space for the set of stabilizer states, that is, a parameterization of this set, that endows it with a natural algebraic structure, and we derive a formula for the number of stabilizer states when $A$ is finite. Notably, these results are novel even for finite Abelian groups.

  We show how to reduce the geometry of degenerate states to the non-abelian connection $A$. We find independent invariants associated with each triple of subspaces. Some of them generalize the Berry-Pancharatnam phase, and some do not have analogues for 1-dimensional subspaces.

• Scattering data and bound states of a squeezed double-layer structure [77.34726150561087]
  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.
