  • Title1:量子ウォークの長時間極限分布からわかる量子ウォークの奇妙な性質
  • Abstract1 :
ランダムウォークの量子類似物である量子ウォークには、離散時間モデルと連続時間モデルがある。物理学的には、離散時間モデルはディラック方程式の時空間離散版、連続時間モデルはシュレディンガー方程式の空間離散版である。量子ウォークは、それ自体を量子アルゴリズムとみなすことができ、量子コンピュータの基礎理論構築に応用されている。
数学における量子ウォークの研究目標の1つは、長時間極限定理の導出である。長時間時間発展後のウォーカーの空間分布を漸近的に記述する長時間極限分布は、量子ウォークの性質を明らかにするために必要とされている。本講演では、1次元量子ウォークの極限分布を通じて、量子ウォークの興味深い性質を紹介する。講演内容は、Machida and Konno [1]、Grunbaum and Machida [2]、Machida [3]に基づく。

  • Title:量子ウォークにおけるスペクトル写像定理とこれを用いた展望
  • Abstract : 量子ウォークはデバイスにレーザーを透過・偏極させることで実装される数理モデルであり,量子探索アルゴリズムやトポロジカル絶縁体などへの応用が期待されている。量子ウォークの記述する時間発展作用素の性質を調べる際,そのスペクトルを計算し関数解析学の観点から研究することができる。さて,スペクトル写像定理は量子ウォークのスペクトルとランダムウォークとユニタリ同値なdiscriminant作用素のスペクトルとの対応を述べた定理であり,これを用いてSplit-Step量子ウォークなどのスペクトルも調べられている。このスペクトル写像定理は量子ウォークが閉鎖系でカイラル対称な場合,2019年に一般論として瀬川らによって証明されている。さらに2023年には,浅原らによって一部の開放系量子ウォークのための拡張が行われた。本講演ではこれらの定理や応用などを紹介しつつ,更なる拡張についてお話する。

  • Title: The Outlier Problem from a View of non-commutative Probability Theory I
  • Abstract:
The outlier problem in random matrix theory is one of the important topics. In this talk, I will explain a non-commutative probabilistic method for considering the outlier problem. The notion of cyclic monotone independence plays a similar role to that of free independence. If time permits, I will also introduce nonrandom models.

  • Title: Nonstationary biorhythm analysis through landmark diffusion with clinical application
  • Abstract:
Compared with the commonly collected health information, long-term and high-frequency physiological time series that exhibit nonstationary traits provide abundant information from an alternative perspective. However, it is challenging to extract clinically applicable data from these raw time series due to various impediments. Fueled by clinical necessities, physiological expertise, and clinical observations, we introduce a novel latent diffusion geometry-based signal processing method. The algorithm is explicitly designed to handle enormous datasets, including ultra-long and high-frequency time series, with ease, while remaining resilient to color and heterogeneous noise, underpinned by sound theoretical support. We will discuss an application of this method to assess the clinical outcome of liver transplants by uncovering the delicate details concealed in the arterial blood pressure signal recorded during surgery that remain indistinguishable to the naked eye.

  • Title: Filtered Arcade Martingales: An Alternative Approach to Martingale Optimal Transport?
  • Abstract:
Arcade processes are a class of continuous stochastic processes that interpolate in a strong sense between zeros at fixed pre-specified times. Their additive randomization allows one to match any finite sequence of target random variables, indexed by the given fixed dates, on the whole probability space. The filtrations generated by such processes are utilized to construct a class of martingales which interpolate between the given target random variables. These so-called filtered arcade martingales (FAMs) are almost-sure solutions to the martingale interpolation problem and reveal an underlying stochastic filtering structure. In the special case of conditionally Markov randomized arcade processes, the dynamics of FAMs are informed through Bayesian updating. FAMs can be connected to martingale optimal transport (MOT) by considering optimally coupled target random variables. Moreover, FAMs allow to formulate an information-based martingale optimal transport problem, which enables the introduction of noise in MOT, in a similar fashion to how Schrödinger’s problem introduces noise in optimal transport. This information-based transport problem is concerned with selecting an optimal martingale coupling for the target random variables under the influence of the noise that is generated by an arcade process.
