We define a new quantum dynamical entropy for a C*-algebra automorphism with an invariant state (and for an appropriate 'approximating' subalgebra), which entropy is a 'hybrid' of the two alternative definitions by Connes, Narnhofer and Thirring resp. by Alicki and Fannes (and earlier, Lindblad). We report on this entropy's properties and on three examples.
We show that there are well separated families of quantum expanders with asymptotically the maximal cardinality allowed by a known upper bound. This has applications to the “growth" of certain operator spaces: It implies asymptotically sharp estimates for the growth of the multiplicity of -spaces needed to represent (up to a constant ) the -version of the -dimensional operator Hilbert space as a direct sum of copies of . We show that, when is close to 1, this multiplicity grows as for...
An approach to construction of a quantum group gauge theory based on the quantum group generalisation of fibre bundles is reviewed.
We construct an example of a noncommutative dynamical system defined over a two dimensional noncommutative differential manifold with two positive Lyapunov exponents equal to ln d each. This dynamical system is isomorphic to the quantum Bernoulli shift on the half-chain with the quantum dynamical entropy equal to 2 ln d. This result can be interpreted as a noncommutative analog of the isomorphism between the classical one-sided Bernoulli shift and the expanding map of the circle and moreover as...
In this paper, we study a representation of the quantum Itô algebra in Fock space and then by using a noncommutative Radon-Nikodym type theorem we study the density operators of output states as quantum martingales, where the output states are absolutely continuous with respect to an input (vacuum) state. Then by applying quantum martingale representation we prove that the density operators of regular, absolutely continuous output states belong to the commutant of the ⋆-algebra parameterizing the...
A simple axiomatic characterization of the general (infinite dimensional, noncommutative) Itô algebra is given and a pseudo-Euclidean fundamental representation for such algebra is described. The notion of Itô B*-algebra, generalizing the C*-algebra, is defined to include the Banach infinite dimensional Itô algebras of quantum Brownian and quantum Lévy motion, and the B*-algebras of vacuum and thermal quantum noise are characterized. It is proved that every Itô algebra is canonically decomposed...
We study certain principal actions on noncommutative C*-algebras. Our main examples are the - and -actions on the odd-dimensional quantum spheres, yielding as fixed-point algebras quantum lens spaces and quantum complex projective spaces, respectively. The key tool in our analysis is the relation of the ambient C*-algebras with the Cuntz-Krieger algebras of directed graphs. A general result about the principality of the gauge action on graph algebras is given.
We study a quantum extension of the Lévy Laplacian, so-called quantum Lévy-type Laplacian, to the nuclear algebra of operators on spaces of entire functions. We give several examples of the action of the quantum Lévy-type Laplacian on basic operators and we study a quantum white noise convolution differential equation involving the quantum Lévy-type Laplacian.
A noncommutative analogue of limit theorems in classical probability theory for distributions of canonical pairs of observables is considered. A complete description of all limit probability operators which are quantum counterparts of the classical infinitely divisible and semistable laws is obtained in the case when scalar norming is generalised to norming by 2 × 2 matrices.

In the framework of the symmetric Fock space over L²(ℝ₊), the details of the approximation of the four fundamental quantum stochastic increments by the four appropriate spin-matrices are studied. Then this result is used to prove the strong convergence of a quantum random walk as a map from an initial algebra 𝓐 into 𝓐 ⊗ ℬ (Fock(L²(ℝ₊))) to a *-homomorphic quantum stochastic flow.
We present a new version of integration of time-adapted processes with respect to creation, annihilation and conservation processes on the full Fock space. Among the new features, in the first place, there is a new formulation of adaptedness which is both simpler and more general than the known ones. The new adaptedness allows for processes which are not restricted to be elements of some norm closure of the ∗-algebra which is generated by the basic creation processes.
We summarise recent results concerning quantum stochastic convolution cocycles in two contexts-purely algebraic and C*-algebraic. In each case the class of cocycles arising as the solution of a quantum stochastic differential equation is characterised and the form taken by the stochastic generator of a *-homomorphic cocycle is described. Throughout the paper a common viewpoint on the algebraic and C*-algebraic situations is emphasised; the final section treats the unifying example of convolution...
