| description | In this thesis we study the roles played by symplectic geometry in quantum mechanics,in particular quantum dynamics and quantum information theory treated as two
separate parts. The common ground for both parts is the geometrical formulation of quantum mechanics. In Chapter 2, we review the associated complex projective Hilbert space of quantum pure states, with symplectic and Riemannian structures and their roles in quantum dynamics and kinematics. In Chapter 3, we motivate the idea of information-theoretic constraint on the differentiable manifold of probability distributions through the maximum uncertainty principle and the linear Schrodinger equation by introduction of the wave function.
In Chapter 4, we review both regular and singular symplectic reduction of a symplectic manifold, which is acted upon properly and symplectically by a compact Lie
group. Chapter 5 contains the author's original contributions to the first part of the thesis. In this chapter, by using the same information-theoretic discussion of the Chapter 3 we propose a non-relativistic, spin-less, non-linear quantum dynamical equation,with the Fisher information metric replaced by the Jensen-Shannon distance information. Furthermore, we show that the non-linear Schrodinger equation is in fact a Hamiltonian dynamics, namely it preserves the symplectic structure of the complex
Hilbert space. The projected dynamics on the corresponding projective Hilbert space is derived and its properties are highlighted in further details. Chapter 6 contains the author's primary contributions to the second part of the thesis. In particular, by using the singular symplectic reduction of the Chapter 4 we explicitly construct the space of entanglement types of three-qubit pure states with a specific (shifted) spectra of single-particle reduced density matrices. Moreover, we obtain the image of the symplectic quotient under the induced Hilbert map, by using local unitary invariant polynomials. Then the symplectic structure on the principal stratum of the symplectic quotient is derived. Finally, it is discussed that other lower dimensional strata are relative equilibria on the original manifold and their stability properties are investigated under compact subgroups of the local unitary transformations. |
