A Short Introduction to the Quantum Formalism
by Francois David
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 108
Description:
These notes present an introductory, but hopefully coherent, view of the main formalizations of quantum mechanics, of their interrelations and of their common physical underpinnings: causality, reversibility and locality/separability.

Symplectic Geometry of Quantum Noiseby Leonid Polterovich - arXiv
We discuss a quantum counterpart of certain constraints on Poisson brackets coming from 'hard' symplectic geometry. They can be interpreted in terms of the quantum noise of observables and their joint measurements in operational quantum mechanics.

Homological Tools for the Quantum Mechanicby Tom Mainiero - arXiv.org
This paper is an introduction to work motivated by the question 'can multipartite entanglement be detected by homological algebra?' We introduce cochain complexes associated to multipartite density states whose cohomology detects factorizability.
