Quantum information recast via multiresolution in $L_2(0,1]$

Abstract: We present a multiresolution approach to the theory of quantum information. It arose from an effort to develop a systematic mathematical approach to the analysis of an infinite array of qubits, i.e., a structure that may be interpreted as a quantum metamaterial. Foundational to our approach are two mathematical constructions with classical roots: the Borel isomorphism and the Haar basis. Here, these constructions are intertwined to establish an identification between $L_2(0,1]$ and the Hilbert space of an infinite array of qubits and to enable analysis of operators that act on arrays of qubits (either finite or infinite). The fusion of these two concepts empowers us to represent quantum operations and observables through geometric operators. As an unexpected upshot, we observe that the fundamental concept of calculus is inherent in an infinite array of qubits; indeed, the antiderivative arises as a natural and indispensable operator in this context.
