math.OA Operator Algebras

  • (In "Nature") Operator algebras, and, more broadly, operator theory, appear in mathematical models for quantum phenomena.
  • (In Engineering) Completely positive maps are used in quantum information theory. There are also many connections between operator algebras and wavelets, which is useful in electrical engineering.
