Non-commutative harmonic analysis: quantum Fourier transform

In the contemporary mathematical landscape, non-commutative harmonic analysis stands out as a major discipline, breaking the boundaries of classical harmonic analysis developed since the 18th century. This branch refines its sophistication by directing its tools towards algebraic structures where commutativity is absent, thus offering unprecedented perspectives in quantum mechanics and beyond. The quantum Fourier transform … Read more

The quantum tunnel effect: modern technological applications

The quantum tunneling effect is among the most fascinating and astonishing phenomena in modern physics. At first glance, it challenges the classical laws of mechanics that we intuitively apply to our macroscopic world. However, at the heart of the infinitely small, in the realm of atomic and subatomic particles, this phenomenon plays a fundamental role … Read more
