Infinite-dimensional Categorical Quantum Mechanics (1605.04305v2)

Published 12 May 2016 in quant-ph and math.CT

Abstract: We use non-standard analysis to define a category $\star!\operatorname{Hilb}$ suitable for categorical quantum mechanics in arbitrary separable Hilbert spaces, and we show that standard bounded operators can be suitably embedded in it. We show the existence of unital special commutative $\dagger$-Frobenius algebras, and we conclude $\star!\operatorname{Hilb}$ to be compact closed, with partial traces and a Hilbert-Schmidt inner product on morphisms. We exemplify our techniques on the textbook case of 1-dimensional wavefunctions with periodic boundary conditions: we show the momentum and position observables to be well defined, and to give rise to a strongly complementary pair of unital commutative $\dagger$-Frobenius algebras.
