    Radon Transform in Finite Dimensional Hilbert Space

    Full text link
    Novel analysis of finite dimensional Hilbert space is outlined. The approach bypasses general, inherent, difficulties present in handling angular variables in finite dimensional problems: The finite dimensional, d, Hilbert space operators are underpinned with finite geometry which provide intuitive perspective to the physical operators. The analysis emphasizes a central role for projectors of mutual unbiased bases (MUB) states, extending thereby their use in finite dimensional quantum mechanics studies. Interrelation among the Hilbert space operators revealed via their (finite) dual affine plane geometry (DAPG) underpinning are displayed and utilized in formulating the finite dimensional ubiquitous Radon transformation and its inverse illustrating phase space-like physics encoded in lines and points of the geometry. The finite geometry required for our study is outlined.Comment: 8page

    Maximal Entanglement, Collective Coordinates and Tracking the King

    Full text link
    Maximal entangled states (MES) provide a basis to two d-dimensional particles Hilbert space, d=prime 2\ne 2. The MES forming this basis are product states in the collective, center of mass and relative, coordinates. These states are associated (underpinned) with lines of finite geometry whose constituent points are associated with product states carrying Mutual Unbiased Bases (MUB) labels. This representation is shown to be convenient for the study of the Mean King Problem and a variant thereof, termed Tracking the King which proves to be a novel quantum communication channel. The main topics, notions used are reviewed in an attempt to have the paper self contained.Comment: 8. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1206.3884, arXiv:1206.035
