• Abstract: We establish a previously unexplored conservation law for the Quantum Fisher Information Matrix (QFIM) expressed as follows; when the QFIM is constructed from a set of observables closed under commutation, i.e., a Lie algebra, the spectrum of the QFIM is invariant under unitary dynamics generated by these same operators. Each Lie algebra therefore endows any quantum state with a fixed "budget" of metrological sensitivity -- an intrinsic resource that we show, like optical squeezing in interferometry, cannot be amplified by symmetry-preserving operations. The Uhlmann curvature tensor (UCT) naturally inherits the same symmetry group, and so quantum incompatibility is similarly fixed. As a result, a metrological analog to Liouville's theorem appears; statistical distances, volumes, and curvatures are invariant under the evolution generated by the Lie algebra. We discuss this as it relates to the quantum analogs of classical optimality criteria. This enables one to efficiently classify useful classes of quantum states at the level of Lie algebras through geometric invariants.

• Geometric Quantum Machine Learning with Horizontal Quantum Gates [41.912613724593875]
  We propose an alternative paradigm for the symmetry-informed construction of variational quantum circuits. We achieve this by introducing horizontal quantum gates, which only transform the state with respect to the directions to those of the symmetry. For a particular subclass of horizontal gates based on symmetric spaces, we can obtain efficient circuit decompositions for our gates through the KAK theorem.

• Studying Stabilizer de Finetti Theorems and Possible Applications in Quantum Information Processing [0.0]
  In quantum information theory, if a quantum state is invariant under permutations of its subsystems, its marginal can be approximated by a mixture of powers of a state on a single subsystem. Recently, it has been discovered that a similar observation can be made for a larger symmetry group than permutations. This naturally raises the question if similar improvements could be found for applications where this symmetry appears.

• Quantum Relativity of Subsystems [58.720142291102135]
  We show that different reference frame perspectives induce different sets of subsystem observable algebras, which leads to a gauge-invariant, frame-dependent notion of subsystems and entanglement. Such a QRF perspective does not inherit the distinction between subsystems in terms of the corresponding tensor factorizability of the kinematical Hilbert space and observable algebra. Since the condition for this to occur is contingent on the choice of QRF, the notion of subsystem locality is frame-dependent.

• Group Theoretical Approach to Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics with Lorentz Covariance and $c \rightarrow \infty $ Limit [0.0]
  The basic representation is identified as a coherent state representation, essentially an irreducible component of the regular representation. The key feature of the formulation is that it is not unitary but pseudo-unitary, exactly in the same sense as the Minkowski spacetime representation. Explicit wavefunction description is given without any restriction of the variable domains, yet with a finite integral inner product.
