Abstract:
We consider the Pauli group
$\mathcal{P}_q$ generated by unitary quantum generators
$X$ (shift) and
$Z$ (clock) acting on vectors of the
$q$-dimensional Hilbert space. It has been found that the number of maximal
mutually commuting sets within
$\mathcal{P}_q$ is controlled by the Dedekind psi
function
$\psi(q)$ and that there exists a specific inequality involving the Euler constant
$\gamma\sim0.577$ that is only satisfied at specific low
dimensions
$q\in\mathcal{A}=\{2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,18,30\}$. The set
$\mathcal{A}$ is closely
related to the set
$\mathcal{A}\cup\{1,24\}$ of integers that are totally Goldbach,
i.e., that consist of all primes
$p<n-1$ with
$p$ not dividing
$n$ and such
that
$n-p$ is prime. In the extreme high-dimensional case, at primorial
numbers
$N_r$, the Hardy–Littlewood function
$R(q)$ is introduced for
estimating the number of Goldbach pairs, and a new inequality
(Theorem
$4$) is established for the equivalence to the Riemann
hypothesis in terms of
$R(N_r)$. We discuss these number-theoretical
properties in the context of the qudit commutation structure.
