Maximal rank of extremal marginal tracial states

States on coupled quantum system whose restrictions to each subsystems are normalized traces are called marginal tracial states. We investigate extremal marginal tracial states and maximal rank of such states. Diagonal marginal tracial states are also considered.Comment: 10 page

Quasi-orthogonal subalgebras of matrix algebras

We investigate pairwise quasi-orthogonal subalgebras in $M_{p^{kn}}$ which are isomorphic to $M_{p^{k}}$ for $k \ge 1$, $n \ge 2$ and a prime number $p$ with $p \ge 3$. We prove there exist $p^{2kn}-1/p^{2k}-1$ such subalgebras and they span $M_{p^{kn}}$.Comment: 12page

Unitary equivalence classes of one-dimensional quantum walks II

This study investigated the unitary equivalence classes of one-dimensional quantum walks with and without initial states. We determined the unitary equivalence classes of one-dimensional quantum walks, two-phase quantum walks with one defect, complete two-phase quantum walks, one-dimensional quantum walks with one defect and translation-invariant one-dimensional quantum walks.ArticleQuantum Information Processing.16(12):287(2017)journal articl

Parameterization of Translation-Invariant Two-Dimensional Two-State Quantum Walks

This study investigates unitary equivalence classes of translation-invariant two-dimensional two-state quantum walks. We show that unitary equivalence classes of such quantum walks are essentially parameterized by two real parameters.ArticleActa Mathematica Vietnamica.43(4):737-747(2018)journal articl

Examples of conditional SIC-POVMs

The state of a quantum system is a density matrix with several parameters. The concern herein is how to recover the parameters. Several possibilities exist for the optimal recovery method, and we consider some special cases. We assume that a few parameters are known and that the others are to be recovered. The optimal positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) for recovering unknown parameters with an additional condition is called a conditional symmetric informationally complete POVM (SIC-POVM). In this paper, we study the existence or nonexistence of conditional SIC-POVMs. We provide a necessary condition for existence and some examples.ArticleQUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING. 14(10):3983-3999 (2015)journal articl

Non-commutative hypergroup of order five

We prove that all hypergroups of order four are commutative and that there exists a non-comutative hypergroup of order five. These facts imply that the minimum order of non-commutative hypergroups is five even though the minimum order of non-commutative groups is six

Quantum Markov fields on graphs

We introduce generalized quantum Markov states and generalized d-Markov chains which extend the notion quantum Markov chains on spin systems to that on $C^*$-algebras defined by general graphs. As examples of generalized d-Markov chains, we construct the entangled Markov fields on tree graphs. The concrete examples of generalized d-Markov chains on Cayley trees are also investigated.Comment: 23 pages, 1 figure. accepted to "Infinite Dimensional Anal. Quantum Probability & Related Topics
