Inspired by classical (actual) Quantum Theory over $mathbb{C}$ and Modal Quantum Theory (MQT), which is a model of Quantum Theory over certain finite fields, we introduce General Quantum Theory as a Quantum Theory -- in the K{o}benhavn interpretation -- over general division rings with involution, in which the inner product is a $(sigma,1)$-Hermitian form $varphi$. This unites all known such approaches in one and the same theory, and we show that many of the known results such as no-cloning, no-deleting, quantum teleportation and super-dense quantum coding, which are known in classical Quantum Theory over $mathbb{C}$ and in some MQTs, hold for any General Quantum Theory. On the other hand, in many General Quantum Theories, a geometrical object which we call quantum kernel arises, which is invariant under the unitary group $mathbf{U}(V,varphi)$, and which carries the geometry of a so-called polar space. We use this object to construct new quantum (teleportation) coding schemes, which mix quantum theory with the geometry of the quantum kernel (and the action of the unitary group). We also show that in characteristic $0$, every General Quantum Theory over an algebraically closed field behaves like classical Quantum Theory over $mathbb{C}$ at many levels, and that all such theories share one model, which we pin down as the minimal model, which is countable and defined over $overline{mathbb{Q}}$. Moreover, to make the analogy with classical Quantum Theory even more striking, we show that Borns rule holds in any such theory. So all such theories are not modal at all. Finally, we obtain an extension theory for General Quantum Theories in characteristic $0$ which allows one to extend any such theory over algebraically closed fields (such as classical complex Quantum Theory) to larger theories in which a quantum kernel is present.

The purpose of fingerprinting is to compare long messages with low communication complexity. Compared with its classical version, the quantum fingerprinting can realize exponential reduction in communication complexity. Recently, the multi-party quan tum fingerprinting is studied on whether the messages from many parties are the same. However, sometimes it is not enough just to know whether these messages are the same, we usually need to know the relationship among them. We provide a general model of quantum fingerprinting network, defining the relationship function $f^R$ and giving the corresponding decision rules. In this work, we take the four-party quantum fingerprinting protocol as an example for detailed analysis. We also choose the optimal parameters to minimize communication complexity in the case of asymmetric channels. Furthermore, we compare the multi-party quantum fingerprinting with the protocol based on the two-party quantum fingerprinting and find that the multi-party protocol has obvious advantages, especially in terms of communication time. Finally, the method of encoding more than one bit on each coherent state is used to further improve the performance of the protocol.

We study properties of quantum strategies, which are complete specifications of a given partys actions in any multiple-round interaction involving the exchange of quantum information with one or more other parties. In particular, we focus on a repres entation of quantum strategies that generalizes the Choi-Jamio{l}kowski representation of quantum operations. This new representation associates with each strategy a positive semidefinite operator acting only on the tensor product of its input and output spaces. Various facts about such representations are established, and two applications are discussed: the first is a new and conceptually simple proof of Kitaevs lower bound for strong coin-flipping, and the second is a proof of the exact characterization QRG = EXP of the class of problems having quantum refereed games.
Since the very early days of quantum theory there have been numerous attempts to interpret quantum mechanics as a statistical theory. This is equivalent to describing quantum states and ensembles together with their dynamics entirely in terms of phas e-space distributions. Finite dimensional systems have historically been an issue. In recent works [Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 180401 and Phys. Rev. A 96, 022117] we presented a framework for representing any quantum state as a complete continuous Wigner function. Here we extend this work to its partner function -- the Weyl function. In doing so we complete the phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics -- extending work by Wigner, Weyl, Moyal, and others to any quantum system. This work is structured in three parts. Firstly we provide a brief modernized discussion of the general framework of phase-space quantum mechanics. We extend previous work and show how this leads to a framework that can describe any system in phase space -- putting it for the first time on a truly equal footing to Schrodingers and Heisenbergs formulation of quantum mechanics. Importantly, we do this in a way that respects the unifying principles of parity and displacement in a natural broadening of previously developed phase space concepts and methods. Secondly we consider how this framework is realized for different quantum systems; in particular we consider the proper construction of Weyl functions for some example finite dimensional systems. Finally we relate the Wigner and Weyl distributions to statistical properties of any quantum system or set of systems.
The theory of Gaussian quantum fluctuations around classical steady states in nonlinear quantum-optical systems (also known as standard linearization) is a cornerstone for the analysis of such systems. Its simplicity, together with its accuracy far f rom critical points or situations where the nonlinearity reaches the strong coupling regime, has turned it into a widespread technique, which is the first method of choice in most works on the subject. However, such a technique finds strong practical and conceptual complications when one tries to apply it to situations in which the classical long-time solution is time dependent, a most prominent example being spontaneous limit-cycle formation. Here we introduce a linearization scheme adapted to such situations, using the driven Van der Pol oscillator as a testbed for the method, which allows us to compare it with full numerical simulations. On a conceptual level, the scheme relies on the connection between the emergence of limit cycles and the spontaneous breaking of the symmetry under temporal translations. On the practical side, the method keeps the simplicity and linear scaling with the size of the problem (number of modes) characteristic of standard linearization, making it applicable to large (many-body) systems.
We apply the recently developed general theory of quantum time distributions arXiv:2010.07575 to find the distribution of arrival times at the detector. Even though the Hamiltonian in the absence of detector is hermitian, the time evolution of the sy stem before detection involves dealing with a non-hermitian operator obtained from the projection of the hermitian Hamiltonian onto the region in front of the detector. Such a formalism eventually gives rise to a simple and physically sensible analytical expression for the arrival time distribution, for arbitrary wave packet moving in one spatial dimension with negligible distortion.
