On exchangeable continuous variable systems
We investigate permutation-invariant continuous variable quantum states and their covariance matrices. We provide a complete characterization of the latter with respect to permutation invariance and e...

An entanglement measure for n qubits
Coffman et al. [Phys. Rev. A 61, 052306 (2000)] introduced the residual entanglement for three qubits. In this paper, we present the entanglement measure () for even n qubits; for odd n qubits, we pro...

We study the infrared problem in the usual model of quantum electrodynamics with nonrelativistic matter. We prove spectral and regularity properties characterizing the mass shell of an electron and one-electron infraparticle states of this model. Our results are crucial for the construction of infraparticle scattering states, which are treated in a separate paper. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
