• Abstract: The quantum double $D(G)=\Bbb C(G)\rtimes \Bbb C G$ of a finite group plays an important role in the Kitaev model for quantum computing, as well as in associated TQFT's, as a kind of Poincar\'e group. We interpret the known construction of its irreps, which are quasiparticles for the model, in a geometric manner strictly analogous to the Wigner construction for the usual Poincar\'e group of $\Bbb R^{1,3}$. Irreps are labelled by pairs $(C, \pi)$, where $C$ is a conjugacy class in the role of a mass-shell, and $\pi$ is a representation of the isotropy group $C_G$ in the role of spin. The geometric picture entails $D^\vee(G)\to \Bbb C(C_G)\blacktriangleright\!\!\!\!< \Bbb C G$ as a quantum homogeneous bundle where the base is $G/C_G$, and $D^\vee(G)\to \Bbb C(G)$ as another homogeneous bundle where the base is the group algebra $\Bbb C G$ as noncommutative spacetime. Analysis of the latter leads to a duality whereby the differential calculus and solutions of the wave equation on $\Bbb C G$ are governed by irreps and conjugacy classes of $G$ respectively, while the same picture on $\Bbb C(G)$ is governed by the reversed data. Quasiparticles as irreps of $D(G)$ also turn out to classify irreducible bicovariant differential structures $\Omega^1_{C, \pi}$ on $D^\vee(G)$ and these in turn correspond to braided-Lie algebras $\mathcal{L}_{C, \pi}$ in the braided category of $G$-crossed modules, which we call `braided racks' and study. We show under mild assumptions that $U(\mathcal{L}_{C,\pi})$ quotients to a braided Hopf algebra $B_{C,\pi}$ related by transmutation to a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra $H_{C,\pi}$.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  We provide a systematic treatment of boundaries based on subgroups $Ksubseteq G$ with the Kitaev quantum double $D(G)$ model in the bulk. The boundary sites are representations of a $*$-subalgebra $Xisubseteq D(G)$ and we explicate its structure as a strong $*$-quasi-Hopf algebra. As an application of our treatment, we study patches with boundaries based on $K=G$ horizontally and $K=e$ vertically and show how these could be used in a quantum computer

  The observables associated with a quantum system $S$ form a non-commutative algebra $mathcal A_S$. It is assumed that a density matrix $rho$ can be determined from the expectation values of observables. Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.
