The Infinitesimal Structure of Quantum Information

Abstract:This paper establishes a rigorous, unified geometric framework for quantum state spaces by constructing smooth, regular embeddings into higher-order dual number algebras $\mathcal{Q}_N \equiv \mathbb{R}[\varepsilon]/(\varepsilon^{N^2-1})$, wherein every quantum state is faithfully represented as a non-reduced scheme-theoretic point. We show that under this unified family of truncated rings, the non-linear matrix commutators governing the Liouville-von Neumann dynamics map globally onto flat, linear, and rigid algebraic flows, establishing nilpotent dual algebras as a pristine geometric landscape for higher-dimensional quantum kinematics. As $N \to \infty$, this family converges to a Cauchy-complete power series ring $\mathcal{Q}_\infty$, where non-Archimedean completion linearizes the phase space, aligning the Fubini-Study geometry with the classical Fisher-Rao manifold.
