• Abstract: In quantum resource theories (QRTs) certain quantum states and operations are deemed more valuable than others. While the determination of the ``free'' elements is usually guided by the constraints of some experimental setup, this can make it difficult to study similarities and differences between QRTs. In this work, we argue that QRTs follow from the choice of a preferred algebraic structure $\mathcal{E}$ to be preserved, thus setting the free operations as the automorphisms of $\mathcal{E}$. We illustrate our finding by determining $\mathcal{E}$ for the QRTs of entanglement, Clifford stabilizerness, purity, imaginarity, fermionic Gaussianity, reference frames, thermodynamics and coherence; showing instances where $\mathcal{E}$ is a Lie algebra, group, ring, or even a simple set. This unified understanding allows us to generalize the concept of stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC) to identify novel resource non-increasing operations for Lie-algebra based QRTs, thus finding a new solution to an open problem in the literature. We showcase the sanity of our new set of operations by rigorously proving that they map free states to free states, as well as determine more general situations where these transformations strictly do not increase the resource of a state.

  We develop a framework to characterize the separability of a specific type of one-dimensional quasiparticle known as a fermionic anyon. We map this notion of fermionic-anyon separability to the free resources of matchgate circuits. We also identify how entanglement between two qubits encoded in a dual-rail manner, as standard for matchgate circuits, corresponds to the notion of entanglement between fermionic anyons.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

  We analyze the problem of estimating optimal $Q$-value functions for a discounted Markov decision process with discrete states and actions. Using a local minimax framework, we show that this functional arises in lower bounds on the accuracy on any estimation procedure. In the other direction, we establish the sharpness of our lower bounds, up to factors logarithmic in the state and action spaces, by analyzing a variance-reduced version of $Q$-learning.

  We present a class of deformed creation and annihilation operators that originates from a rigorous notion of fuzziness. This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
