Symplectic techniques in geometric quantum mechanics and nonlinear quantum mechanics

In this thesis we study the roles played by symplectic geometry in quantum mechanics,in particular quantum dynamics and quantum information theory treated as two separate parts. The common ground for both parts is the geometrical formulation of quantum mechanics. In Chapter 2, we review the associa...
