Quantum graph homomorphisms via operator systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We explore the concept of a graph homomorphism through the lens of C-algebras and operator systems. We start by studying the various notions of a quantum graph homomorphism and examine how they are related to each other. We then define and study a C-algebra that encodes all the information about these homomorphisms and establish a connection between computational complexity and the representation of these algebras. We use this C-algebra to define a new quantum chromatic number and establish some basic properties of this number. We then suggest a way of studying these quantum graph homomorphisms using certain completely positive maps and describe their structure. Finally, we use these completely positive maps to define the notion of a "quantum" core of a graph.
