Some Aspects of Operator Algebras in Quantum Physics

Abstract: Abstract. Motivated by the sharp contrast between classical and quantum physics as probability theories, in these lecture notes I introduce the basic notions of operator algebras that are relevant for the algebraic approach to quantum physics. Aspects of the representation theory of C*-algebras will be motivated and illustrated in physical terms. Particular emphasis will be given to explicit examples from the theory of quantum phase transitions, where concepts coming from strands as diverse as quantum informat… Show more

“…Over the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in Toeplitz matrices with certain perturbations, see [3,7,8,11,12,14,21,22,27,28,32], or [17,20,23,29] for more general researches. In [11,12] the authors find the characteristic polynomial for some cases of Toeplitz matrices with corner perturbations.…”

“…Matrices L α,n can be considered as tridiagonal Toeplitz matrices with perturbations in the corners (1,1), (1, n), (n, 1) and (n, n). Several investigations in this area and some of its applications have been recently developed, see for example [2][3][4]6,7,10,12,13,15,16,[20][21][22]. These matrices can also be considered as periodic Jacobi matrices.…”

“…A state ω on A is then defined as a normalized positive linear functional ω : A → C. If a = a * ∈ A is an observable, ω(a) is the expectation value of a in the state ω. A readable exposition of this point of view can be found in [15,16,20].…”
