Phase transitions in a one-dimensional multibarrier potential of finite range

D. Bar, L. P. Horwitz

We have previously studied properties of a one-dimensional potential with equally spaced identical barriers in a (fixed) finite interval for both finite and infinite . It wa…

Measurements of semi-local and non-maximally entangled states

Berry Groisman, Benni Reznik

Consistency with relativistic causality narrows down dramatically the class of measurable observables. We argue that by weakening the preparation role of ideal measurements, many o…

Instantaneous measurement of non-local variables

Lev Vaidman

It is shown, under the assumption of possibility to perform an arbitrary local operation, that all nonlocal variables related to two or more separate sites can be measured instanta…

Superoscillations and tunneling times

Yakir Aharonov, Noam Erez, Benni Reznik

It is proposed that superoscillations play an important role in the interferences which give rise to superluminal effects. To exemplify that, we consider a toy model which allows f…

How macroscopic properties dictate microscopic probabilities

Yakir Aharonov, Benni Reznik

We argue that the quantum probability law follows, in the large N limit, from the compatibility of quantum mechanics with classical-like properties of macroscopic objects. For a fi…

Measuring Energy, Estimating Hamiltonians, and the Time-Energy Uncertainty Relation

Y. Aharonov, S. Massar, S. Popescu

Suppose that the Hamiltonian acting on a quantum system is unknown and one wants to determine what is the Hamiltonian. We show that in general this requires a time which obeys…
