A Quantum Approach to Classical Statistical Mechanics
Rolando D. Somma, Cristian D. Batista, Gerardo Ortiz
We present a new approach to study the thermodynamic properties of -dimensional classical systems by reducing the problem to the computation of ground state properties of a -…
Generalized Coherent States as Preferred States of Open Quantum Systems
Sergio Boixo, Lorenza Viola, Gerardo Ortiz
We investigate the connection between quasi-classical (pointer) states and generalized coherent states (GCSs) within an algebraic approach to Markovian quantum systems (including b…
Efficient solvability of Hamiltonians and limits on the power of some quantum computational models
Rolando Somma, Howard Barnum, Gerardo Ortiz +1
We consider quantum computational models defined via a Lie-algebraic theory. In these models, specified initial states are acted on by Lie-algebraic quantum gates and the expectati…
