Jim was never content to spend too long in any one area of mathematics. Operator algebras, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, fluid dynamics, quantum field theory and statistical mechanics and the computational aspects of applied mathematics are just a few of the areas to which Jim has contributed. Here we relate a few impressionistic recollections of personal interactions, together with some ideas about his work in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. In spite of the non-technical character of these observations, we hope nevertheless that they will provide pleasure for our dear friend and for other readers as well.展开更多

Our software captures both algebraic and topological aspects of quantum networks. It yields a bi-directional dictionary to translate between a topological approach and an algebraic approach. Using our software, we give a topological simulation for quantum networks. The string Fourier transform(SFT) is our basic tool to transform product states into states with maximal entanglement entropy. We obtain a pictorial interpretation of Fourier transformation, of measurements, and of local transformations, including the n-qudit Pauli matrices and their representation by Jordan-Wigner transformations. We use our software to discover interesting new protocols for multipartite communication. In summary, we build a bridge linking the theory of planar para algebras with quantum information.展开更多
