Calculating the observables of a Hamiltonian requires taking matrix elements of operators in the eigenstate basis. Since eigenstates are only defined up to arbitrary phases that depend on Hamiltonian parameters, analytical expressions for observables are often difficult to simplify. In this work, we show how for small Hilbert space dimension N all observables can be expressed in terms of the Hamiltonian and its eigenvalues using the properties of the SU(N) algebra, and we derive explicit expressions for N=2,3,4. Then we present multiple applications specializing to the case of Bloch electrons in crystals, including the computation of Berry curvature, quantum metric and orbital moment, as well as a more complex observable in non-linear response, the linear photogalvanic effect (LPGE). As a physical example we consider multiband Hamiltonians with nodal degeneracies to show first how constraints between these observables are relaxed when going from two to three-band models, and second how quadratic dispersion can lead to constant LPGE at small frequencies.

The geometry of multi-parameter families of quantum states is important in numerous contexts, including adiabatic or nonadiabatic quantum dynamics, quantum quenches, and the characterization of quantum critical points. Here, we discuss the Hilbert-sp ace geometry of eigenstates of parameter-dependent random-matrix ensembles, deriving the full probability distribution of the quantum geometric tensor for the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble. Our analytical results give the exact joint distribution function of the Fubini-Study metric and the Berry curvature. We discuss relations to Levy stable distributions and compare our results to numerical simulations of random-matrix ensembles as well as electrons in a random magnetic field.
We develop a group-theoretical approach to describe $N$-component composite bosons as planar electrons attached to an odd number $f$ of Chern-Simons flux quanta. This picture arises when writing the Coulomb exchange interaction as a quantum Hall ferr omagnet in terms of collective $U(N)$-spin operators. A spontaneously chosen ground state of $M$ electrons per Landau site breaks the symmetry from $U(N)$ to the stability subgroup $U(M)times U(N-M)$, so that coherent state excitations are labeled by points on the Grassmannian coset $U(N)/U(M)times U(N-M)$. The quantization of this Grassmann phase space corresponds to the carrier Hilbert space of unitary irreducible representations of $U(N)$ described by rectangular Young tableaux of $M$ rows and $f$ columns. We construct an embedding of the Hilbert space into Fock space by using a Schwinger realization of collective $U(N)$-spin operators as bilinear products of composite boson operators. We also build a system of Grassmann coherent states and discuss the classical limit of $U(N)$ quantum Hall ferromagnets in terms of nonlinear sigma models on Grasmannians.
We consider the process of flux insertion for ground states of almost local commuting projector Hamiltonians in two spatial dimensions. In the case of finite dimensional local Hilbert spaces, we prove that this process cannot pump any charge and we conclude that the Hall conductance must vanish.
This paper addresses the mathematical models for the heat-conduction equations and the Navier-Stokes equations via fractional derivatives without singular kernel.
We investigate the possibility to suppress interactions between a finite dimensional system and an infinite dimensional environment through a fast sequence of unitary kicks on the finite dimensional system. This method, called dynamical decoupling, i s known to work for bounded interactions, but physical environments such as bosonic heat baths are usually modelled with unbounded interactions, whence here we initiate a systematic study of dynamical decoupling for unbounded operators. We develop a sufficient decoupling criterion for arbitrary Hamiltonians and a necessary decoupling criterion for semibounded Hamiltonians. We give examples for unbounded Hamiltonians where decoupling works and the limiting evolution as well as the convergence speed can be explicitly computed. We show that decoupling does not always work for unbounded interactions and provide both physically and mathematically motivated examples.
