• Title: Characteristic time operators as quantum clocks
• Authors: Ralph Adrian E. Farrales, Eric A. Galapon,
• Abstract summary: We show that $mathsfT$ satisfies the canonical relation $[mathsfT,mathsfH]|psirangle=ihbar|psirangle$ in a dense subspace of the Hilbert space. One can construct a quantum clock that tells the time in the neighborhood of $mathscrT$ by measuring a compatible observable.

• Abstract: We consider the characteristic time operator $\mathsf{T}$ introduced in [E. A. Galapon, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, 458:2671 (2002)] which is bounded and self-adjoint. For a semibounded discrete Hamiltonian $\mathsf{H}$ with some growth condition, $\mathsf{T}$ satisfies the canonical relation $[\mathsf{T},\mathsf{H}]|\psi\rangle=i\hbar|\psi\rangle$ for $|\psi\rangle$ in a dense subspace of the Hilbert space. While $\mathsf{T}$ is not covariant, we show that it still satisfies the canonical relation in a set of times of total measure zero called the time invariant set $\mathscr{T}$. In the neighborhood of each time $t$ in $\mathscr{T}$, $\mathsf{T}$ is still canonically conjugate to $\mathsf{H}$ and its expectation value gives the parametric time. Its two-dimensional projection saturates the time-energy uncertainty relation in the neighborhood of $\mathscr{T}$, and is proportional to the Pauli matrix $\sigma_y$. Thus, one can construct a quantum clock that tells the time in the neighborhood of $\mathscr{T}$ by measuring a compatible observable.

  Multi-head attention layer is one of the key components of the transformer architecture that sets it apart from traditional feed-forward models. In this work, we initiate the study of provably learning a multi-head attention layer from random examples. We prove computational lower bounds showing that in the worst case, exponential dependence on $m$ is unavoidable.

We show that our model satisfies the so-called spectral gap conjecture, i.e. we prove that with the probability $1$ there is $tinmathbbZ_+$ such that $sup satisfieskinmathbbZ_+delta(k)=delta(t)$.

  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.
