Charged vectors generated by the Dirac field define states of the bosonic field which in general are not local excitations of the given reference state. The Hamiltonian density of the bosonic field presents a non-trivial interaction term: besides creating and annihilating bosons, it acts on momenta of fermionic wave functions.

In particular, quantum states over time encode not only spatial, but also <i>causal</i> correlations associated with the dynamical evolution of a quantum system, and the association of quantum states over time with the dynamical flow of quantum information is in direct analogy with spacetime and its relation to classical dynamics. In this work, we further such an analogy by formulating a notion of general covariance for the theory of quantum states over time. We then associate a canonical state over time with a density operator which is to evolve under a sequence of quantum processes modeled by completely positive trace-preserving (CPTP) maps, and we show that such a canonical state over time satisfies such a notion of covariance. We also show that the dynamical quantum Bayes’ rule transforms covariantly with respect to quantum states over time, and we conclude with a discussion of what it means for a physical law to be generally covariant when formulated in terms of quantum states over time.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":685,"journal":{"name":"Letters in Mathematical Physics","volume":"114 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142565752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
