Study on learning quantum dynamics without direct interaction.

Study on determinants of unitary Brownian motion and their asymptotic laws.

Recurrent neural networks are powerful models for processing sequential data, but they are generally plagued by vanishing and exploding gradient problems. Unitary recurrent neural networks (uRNNs), which use unitary recurrence matrices, have recently been proposed as a means to avoid these issues. However, in previous …

Quantum neural networks converge to Gaussian processes as they grow.

This paper proposes a brain-inspired approach to quantum machine learning with the goal of circumventing many of the complications of other approaches. The fact that quantum processes are unitary presents both opportunities and challenges. A principal opportunity is that a large number of computations can be carried ou…

Quantum methods model uncertain volatility in financial markets.

Vector embedding is a foundational building block of many deep learning models, especially in natural language processing. In this paper, we present a theoretical framework for understanding the effect of dimensionality on vector embeddings. We observe that the distributional hypothesis, a governing principle of statis…

We formulate the unitary rational orbifold conformal field theories in the algebraic quantum field theory framework. Under general conditions, we show that the orbifold of a given unitary rational conformal field theories generates a unitary modular category. Many new unitary modular categories are obtained. We also sh…

Quantum systems with scrambling improve temporal information processing, but scaling requires exponential overhead.

Quantum Gaussian processes enable scalable quantum learning.

We construct a new family of toric manifolds generating the unitary bordism ring. Each manifold in the family is the complex projectivisation of the sum of a line bundle and a trivial bundle over a complex projective space. We also construct a family of special unitary quasitoric manifolds which contains polynomial gen…

New structure on unitary group of Hilbert space.

Study circle actions on unitary manifolds with discrete fixed points.

A major challenge in the training of recurrent neural networks is the so-called vanishing or exploding gradient problem. The use of a norm-preserving transition operator can address this issue, but parametrization is challenging. In this work we focus on unitary operators and describe a parametrization using the Lie al…

The study shows ergodicity of unitary frame flows on Kähler manifolds with specific curvature conditions.

With the usual definition of a super Hilbert space and a super unitary representation, it is easy to show that there are lots of super Lie groups for which the left-regular representation is not super unitary. I will argue that weakening the definition of a super Hilbert space (by allowing the super scalar product to b…

Study circumcenters in Finsler unitary groups with optimal convexity bounds.

This paper introduces a submanifold of the moduli space of unitary representations of the fundamental group of a punctured sphere with fixed local monodromy. The submanifold is defined via products of involutions through Lagrangian subspaces. We show that the moduli space of Lagrangian representations is a Lagrangian s…

Affirmatively answers Kosniowski conjecture for unitary S^1-manifolds.

Let $U_c(H)={u: u is unitary and u-1 is compact}$ stand for the unitary Fredholm group. We prove the following convexity result. Denote by $d_\infty$ the rectifiable distance induced by the Finsler metric given by the operator norm in $U_c(H)$. If $u_0,u_1,u\in U_c(H)$ and the geodesic $β$ joining $u_0$ and $u_1$ in $U…

Using unitary (instead of general) matrices in artificial neural networks (ANNs) is a promising way to solve the gradient explosion/vanishing problem, as well as to enable ANNs to learn long-term correlations in the data. This approach appears particularly promising for Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). In this work, w…

Curious structure of special orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic groups as products of Grassmannians discovered.

We give in explicit form the principal kinematic formula for the action of the affine unitary group on $\C^n$, together with a straightforward algebraic method for computing the full array of unitary kinematic formulas, expressed in terms of certain convex valuations introduced, essentially, by H. Tasaki. We introduce …

UKM framework optimizes VQCs, showing QCL performance is bounded.

Paper uses Turaev-Viro TQFT to estimate 3-manifold genus.

Let $p$ be an even positive integer and $U_p(H)$ be the Banach-Lie group of unitary operators $u$ which verify that $u-1$ belongs to the $p$-Schatten ideal $B_p(H)$. Let ${\cal O}$ be a smooth manifold on which $U_p(H)$ acts transitively and smoothly. Then one can endow ${\cal O}$ with a natural Finsler metric in terms…

The existence of kinematic formulas for area measures with respect to any connected, closed subgroup of the orthogonal group acting transitively on the unit sphere is established. In particular, the kinematic operator for area measures is shown to have the structure of a co-product. In the case of the unitary group the…

We propose unitary group convolutions (UGConvs), a building block for CNNs which compose a group convolution with unitary transforms in feature space to learn a richer set of representations than group convolution alone. UGConvs generalize two disparate ideas in CNN architecture, channel shuffling (i.e. ShuffleNet) and…

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been successfully used on a wide range of sequential data problems. A well known difficulty in using RNNs is the \textit{vanishing or exploding gradient} problem. Recently, there have been several different RNN architectures that try to mitigate this issue by maintaining an orthogo…

We describe the unitary globalization of cohomologically induced modules $A_{\fq}(λ)$. The purpose of the paper is to give a geometric realization of the unitarizable modules. Our results do not constitute a proof of unitarity.

Topological quantum computation with Fibonacci anyons relies on the possibility of efficiently generating unitary transformations upon pseudoparticles braiding. The crucial fact that such set of braids has a dense image in the unitary operations space is well known; in addition, the Solovay-Kitaev algorithm allows to a…

Classifies matrices in the quaternionic hyperbolic unitary group.

We propose a method to assign non-unitary TQFTs to certain SCFTs, deriving bounds and examples.

Bismut and Zhang computed the ratio of the Ray-Singer and the combinatorial torsions corresponding to non-unitary representations of the fundamental group. In this note we show that for representations which belong to a connected component containing a unitary representation the Bismut-Zhang formula follows rather easi…

We present a novel recurrent neural network (RNN) based model that combines the remembering ability of unitary RNNs with the ability of gated RNNs to effectively forget redundant/irrelevant information in its memory. We achieve this by extending unitary RNNs with a gating mechanism. Our model is able to outperform LSTM…

Study of logarithms in SVD-closed subgroups of unitary group.

A classical theorem due to Quillen (1969) identifies the unitary bordism ring with the Lazard ring, which classifies the universal one-dimensional commutative formal group law. We prove an equivariant generalization of this result by identifying the homotopy theoretic $\mathbb{Z}/2$-equivariant unitary bordism ring, in…

We consider the construction of the basic bundle gerbe on SU(n) introduced by Meinrenken and show that it extends to a range of groups with unitary actions on a Hilbert space including U(n), diagonal tori and the Banach Lie group of unitary operators differing from the identity by an element of a Schatten ideal. In all…

We construct new proper biharmonic functions defined on open and dense subsets of the special unitary group SU(2). Then we employ a duality principle to obtain new proper biharmonic functions from the non-compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic space H^3.

We describe the range of the attenuated ray transform of a unitary connection on a simple surface acting on functions and 1-forms. We use this to determine the range of the ray transform acting on symmetric tensor fields.
