• Abstract: The quantum state over time formalism provides an extension of the density operator formalism into the time domain, so that quantum correlations across both space and time may be treated with a common mathematical formalism. While bipartite quantum states over time have been uniquely characterized from various perspectives, it is not immediately clear how to extend the uniqueness result to multipartite temporal scenarios, such as those considered in the context of Legget-Garg inequalities. In this Letter, we show that two simple assumptions uniquely single out a multipartite extension of bipartite quantum states over time, namely, linearity in the initial state and a quantum analog of conditionability for multipartite probability distributions. As a direct consequence of our uniqueness result we arrive at a canonical multipartite extension of Kirkwood-Dirac type quasi-probability distributions, and we conclude by showing how our result yields a new characterization of quantum Markovianity.

  We develop a one-shot lower bound calculation technique for the min-entropy of a classical-quantum state.

• Uniqueness of quantum state over time function [0.0]
  A fundamental asymmetry exists within the conventional framework of quantum theory between space and time. A new framework has recently been proposed, such that description of a quantum system can be encapsulated by a static quantum state over time. We show that the previously proposed axioms cannot yield a unique state over time function.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

• Approximate Quantum Algorithms as a Multiphoton Raman Excitation of a Quasicontinuum Edge [0.0]
  Many quantum algorithms can be seen as a transition from a well-defined initial quantum state to an unknown target quantum state. In this context, approximate quantum calculations imply transition not to the single, minimum energy, state but to a group of states close to the minimum. We demonstrate that the energy width of the population energy distribution over the band is mainly dictated by the time-energy uncertainty principle.

We obtained a representation theorem for time-inhomogeneous quantum walk on discrete infinite state space. The convergence of the distributions of the decoherent quantum walks are numerically estimated.

  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
