• Abstract: Starting from a thorough analysis of the conjugate $\overline{H}$ of a complex Hilbert space $H$, including its significant importance regarding a representation of the tensor product of two complex Hilbert spaces and its impact to the theorem of Fréchet-Riesz over to a revisit of applications of nuclear and absolutely $p$-summing operators in algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT) in the sense of Araki, Haag and Kastler ($p=2$) and more recently in the framework of general probabilistic spaces ($p=1$), we will outline that Banach operator ideals in the sense of Pietsch, or equivalently tensor products of Banach spaces in the sense of Grothendieck are even lurking in the foundations and philosophy of quantum physics and quantum information theory. In particular, we concentrate on their importance in AQFT (Theorem 5.27). In doing so, we revisit the role of trace-class operators in quantum theory and construct the enveloping $\tup{C}^\adj$-algebra, corresponding to an arbitrarily given normed operator ideal (Proposition 5.3 and Theorem 5.5). Applications are presented, including a purely linear algebraic description of the quantum teleportation process, thereby showing a link to quantum information theory, also due to the emergence of the Hadamard-Walsh transform and the controlled NOT gate (Example 4.18). All Hilbert spaces discussed in this paper may be nonseparable (and hence infinite-dimensional).

  Banach operator ideals are lurking in the foundations and philosophy of quantum physics and 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.

• Constraint Inequalities from Hilbert Space Geometry & Efficient Quantum Computation [0.0]
  Useful relations describing arbitrary parameters of given quantum systems can be derived from simple physical constraints imposed on the vectors in the corresponding Hilbert space. We describe the procedure and point out that this parallels the necessary considerations that make Quantum Simulation of quantum fields possible. We suggest how to use these ideas to guide and improve parameterized quantum circuits.
