• Abstract: Inspired by the formalism that relates the star-exponential with the quantum propagator for bosonic systems, in this work we introduce the analogous extension for the fermionic case. In particular, we analyse the problem of calculating the star-exponential (i.e., the symbol of the evolution operator) for Fermi systems within the deformation quantization program. Grassmann variables and coherent states are considered in order to obtain a closed-form expression for the fermionic star-exponential in terms of its associated propagator. As a primary application, a fermionic version of the Feynman-Kac formula is derived within this formalism, thus allowing a straightforward calculation of the ground state energy in phase space. Finally, the method is validated by successfully applying it to the simple harmonic and driven Fermi oscillators, for which the results developed here provide a powerful alternative computational tool for the study of fermionic systems.

  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.
