NATURAL NUMBERS AND QUANTUM STATES IN FOCK SPACE
Francesco Antonino Raffa, Mario Rasetti · International Journal of Quantum Information · 2009
We investigate the expression of natural numbers in any base from a quantum point of view. In particular, resorting to the one-to-one correspondence between natural numbers and Fock states, we construct a set of multiboson operators and a set of translation operators, whose action on the Fock states leads to the coefficients identifying a natural number in any base.
