We present the relativistic quantum physics model hierarchy from Dirac-Maxwell to Vlasov/Euler-Poisson that models fast moving charges and their self-consistent electro-magnetic field. Our main interest is (asymptotic) analysis of these […]

Repeated compositions of quantum channels arise naturally in many places across quantum: they arise, for example, in the transfer operator approach to quantum spin chains, and also in the repeated […]

Quantum mechanics, now about a century old, is a very successful physical theory of matter on a small scale. From its first description until today, it has surprised scientists and […]

Conventional quantum tomography assumes a high degree of control over the system in question in order to measure many observables. On the other hand, a classical dynamical system may be […]
