We give a brief introduction to private quantum codes, a basic notion in quantum cryptography and key distribution. Private code states are characterized by indistinguishability of their output states under the action of a quantum channel, and we show that higher rank numerical ranges can be used to describe them. We also show how this description arises naturally via conjugate channels and the bridge between quantum error correction and cryptography.

We describe here the higher rank numerical range, as defined by Choi, Kribs and Zyczkowski, of a normal operator on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space in terms of its spectral measure. This generalizes a result of Avendano for self-adjoint operators. An analogous description of the numerical range of a normal operator by Durszt is derived for the higher rank numerical range as an immediate consequence. It has several interesting applications. We show using Durszts example that there exists a normal contraction $T$ for which the intersection of the higher rank numerical ranges of all unitary dilations of $T$ contains the higher rank numerical range of $T$ as a proper subset. Finally, we strengthen and generalize a result of Wu by providing a necessary and sufficient condition for the higher rank numerical range of a normal contraction being equal to the intersection of the higher rank numerical ranges of all possible unitary dilations of it.
A higher rank numerical semigroup is a positive cone whose seminormalization is isomorphic to the free abelian semigroup. The corresponding nonselfadjoint semigroup algebras are known to provide examples that answer Arvesons Dilation Problem to the negative. Here we show that these algebras share the polydisc as the character space in a canonical way. We subsequently use this feature in order to identify higher rank numerical semigroups from the corresponding nonselfadjoint algebras.
The higher rank numerical ranges of generic matrices are described in terms of the components of their Kippenhahn curves. Cases of tridiagonal (in particular, reciprocal) 2-periodic matrices are treated in more detail.
We associate with k hermitian Ntimes N matrices a probability measure on R^k. It is supported on the joint numerical range of the k-tuple of matrices. We call this measure the joint numerical shadow of these matrices. Let k=2. A pair of hermitian Ntimes N matrices defines a complex Ntimes N matrix. The joint numerical range and the joint numerical shadow of the pair of hermitian matrices coincide with the numerical range and the numerical shadow, respectively, of this complex matrix. We study relationships between the dynamics of quantum maps on the set of quantum states, on one hand, and the numerical ranges, on the other hand. In particular, we show that under the identity resolution assumption on Kraus operators defining the quantum map, the dynamics shrinks numerical ranges.
In this paper, we present a new way to associate a finitely summable spectral triple to a higher-rank graph $Lambda$, via the infinite path space $Lambda^infty$ of $Lambda$. Moreover, we prove that this spectral triple has a close connection to the wavelet decomposition of $Lambda^infty$ which was introduced by Farsi, Gillaspy, Kang, and Packer in 2015. We first introduce the concept of stationary $k$-Bratteli diagrams, in order to associate a family of ultrametric Cantor sets, and their associated Pearson-Bellissard spectral triples, to a finite, strongly connected higher-rank graph $Lambda$. We then study the zeta function, abscissa of convergence, and Dixmier trace associated to the Pearson-Bellissard spectral triples of these Cantor sets, and show these spectral triples are $zeta$-regular in the sense of Pearson and Bellissard. We obtain an integral formula for the Dixmier trace given by integration against a measure $mu$, and show that $mu$ is a rescaled version of the measure $M$ on $Lambda^infty$ which was introduced by an Huef, Laca, Raeburn, and Sims. Finally, we investigate the eigenspaces of a family of Laplace-Beltrami operators associated to the Dirichlet forms of the spectral triples. We show that these eigenspaces refine the wavelet decomposition of $L^2(Lambda^infty, M)$ which was constructed by Farsi et al.
