Finite quantum systems are considered and dual quantities are defined with a finite Fourier transform.Ladder operators that translate the eigenstates of these quantities are shown to form a finite Weyl group. Dual measurements are introduced and shown to obey certain entropic inequalities. A factorization of these systems into subsystems with the use of number-theoretic results is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
