Where can I learn Fourier analysis and complex signal processing for quantum mechanics?

I'm requesting resourses to dive deep and get a good grip on complex signals, Fourier analysis and connections to information theory and information encoded by complex signals. My background: 3rd year ...

It is possible to express the convolution between two quantum functions $\psi_{1}(x)$ and $\psi_{2}(x)$ in terms of a inner product?

The question of the title is due to the following methodology. Let us consider two arbitray quantum functions $\psi_{1}(x)$ and $\psi_{2}(x)$, such that the convolution between them is $$\left\lbrace \...

"Synchronization" Probability of Multiple Waves with Varying Frequencies

Update 1: I've done some digging and I think this is related to signal coherence, namely, that I'm seeing a coherence time of ~3 σ, which is consistent with the definition where Ct=1/Δv where Δv is ...

Is it fair to say that signal processing is a quantum phenomenon?

I recently saw a video by 3Blue1Brown, in which he explained that the uncertainty principle isn't a quantum phenomenon, but a result of basic signal properties. The basic premise was: the more precise ...

Spatial Resolution in Magnetocardiography

In the science paper called Development of an optical cardio-magnetometer by George Bison, it is mentioned that spatial resolution of 10-20mm is required for mapping MCG signal(page 52). What does the ...

Reconstruction of "wavefunction" phases from $|\psi(x)|$ and $|\tilde \psi(p)|$

Consider a "wavefunction" $\psi(x)$, which has a Fourier transform $\tilde \psi(p)$ Suppose that we know, for each $x$, $|\psi(x)|^2$, and that we know, for each $p$, $|\tilde \psi(p)|^2$. Have we ...
