Conical Designs and Categorical Jordan Algebraic Post-Quantum Theories
arXiv:1703.06800
Abstract
Physical theories can be characterized in terms of their state spaces and their evolutive equations. The kinematical structure and the dynamical structure of finite dimensional quantum theory are, in light of the Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism, one and the same --- namely the homogeneous self-dual cones of positive semi-definite linear endomorphisms on finite dimensional complex Hilbert spaces. From the perspective of category theory, these cones are the sets of morphisms in finite dimensional quantum theory as a dagger compact closed category. Understanding the intricate geometry of these cones and charting the wider landscape for their host category is imperative for foundational physics. In Part I of this thesis, we study the shape of finite dimensional quantum theory in terms of quantum information. In Part II of this thesis, we move beyond quantum theory within the vein of Euclidean Jordan algebras. In posting this thesis on the arXiv, we hope that it might serve as a useful resource for those interested in its subjects.
