Projective ring line of a specific qudit

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A very particular connection between the commutation relations of the elements of the generalized Pauli group of a d-dimensional qudit, d being a product of distinct primes, and the structure of the projective line over the (modular) ring is established, where the integer exponents of the generating shift (X) and clock (Z) operators are associated with submodules of . Under this correspondence, the set of operators commuting with a given one -- a perp-set -- represents a -submodule of . A crucial novel feature here is that the operators are also represented by {it non}-admissible pairs of . This additional degree of freedom makes it possible to view any perp-set as a {it set-theoretic} union of the corresponding points of the associated projective line.
