• Abstract: In the framework of quantum mechanics over a quadratic extension of the ultrametric field of p-adic numbers, we introduce a notion of tensor product of p-adic Hilbert spaces. To this end, following a standard approach, we first consider the algebraic tensor product of p-adic Hilbert spaces. We next define a suitable norm on this linear space. It turns out that, in the p-adic framework, this norm is the analogue of the projective norm associated with the tensor product of real or complex normed spaces. Eventually, by metrically completing the resulting p-adic normed space, and equipping it with a suitable inner product, we obtain the tensor product of p-adic Hilbert spaces. That this is indeed the correct p-adic counterpart of the tensor product of complex Hilbert spaces is also certified by establishing a natural isomorphism between this p-adic Hilbert space and the corresponding Hilbert-Schmidt class. Since the notion of subspace of a p-adic Hilbert space is highly nontrivial, we finally study the tensor product of subspaces, stressing both the analogies and the significant differences with respect to the standard complex case. These findings should provide us with the mathematical foundations necessary to explore quantum entanglement in the p-adic setting, with potential applications in the emerging field of p-adic quantum information theory.

We establish a canonical isomorphism between the Hilbert spaces $Hotimes (K otimes L)$ and $(H otimes K) otimes L$ (Theorem 3.8) and revisit the role of trace class operators. A few applications are specified, including the appropriateness of the class of Hilbert-Schmidt operators and an implied Banach operator ideal representation of the tensor product of two complex spaces $H otimes K$ (Proposition 3.4) and

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.
