The Many Faces of Non-invertible Symmetries

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Marc S. Klinger, Yifan Wang

We investigate the interplay between algebraic and categorical notions of non-invertible symmetries. In particular, a fusion categorical symmetry is shown to induce a…

The building blocks of asymptotically flat spacetimes

Shadi Ali Ahmad

The classification of all possible induced representations arising from theories admitting a Poincaré symmetry has molded our very conception of particles in flat space. In this no…

Extensions from within

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Marc S. Klinger

Inclusions and extensions lie at the heart of physics and mathematics. The most relevant kind of inclusion in quantum systems is that of a von Neumann subalgebra, which is the focu…

Algebraic perturbation theory: traversable wormholes and generalized entropy beyond subleading order

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Ro Jefferson

The crossed product has recently emerged as an important ingredient in describing algebras of observables for quantum field theory and gravity. We combine this with perturbation th…

Emergent Geometry from Quantum Probability

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Marc S. Klinger

Carrying the insights of conditional probability to the quantum realm is notoriously difficult due to the non-commutative nature of quantum observables. Nevertheless, conditional e…

Relational Quantum Geometry

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Wissam Chemissany, Marc S. Klinger +1

A common feature of the extended phase space of gauge theory, the crossed product of quantum theory, and quantum reference frames (QRFs) is the adjoining of degrees of freedom foll…

Quantum Reference Frames from Top-Down Crossed Products

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Wissam Chemissany, Marc S. Klinger +1

All physical observations are made relative to a reference frame, which is a system in its own right. If the system of interest admits a group symmetry, the reference frame observi…

Crossed product algebras and generalized entropy for subregions

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Ro Jefferson

An early result of algebraic quantum field theory is that the algebra of any subregion in a QFT is a von Neumann factor of type III, in which entropy cannot be well-defined bec…

Finite resolution ancilla-assisted measurements of quantum work distributions

Shadi Ali Ahmad, Alexander R. H. Smith

Work is an observable quantity associated with a process, however there is no Hermitian operator associated with its measurement. We consider an ancilla-assisted protocol measuring…
