Entanglement Symmetry, Amplitudes, and Probabilities: Inverting Born's Rule
Wojciech H. Zurek
Symmetry of entangled states under a swap of outcomes ("envariance") implies their equiprobability, and leads to Born's rule. Here I show that the amplitude of a state given by a s…
Casimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a dielectric grating
Ana M. Contreras-Reyes, Romain Guérout, Paulo A. Maia Neto +3
We develop the scattering approach to calculate the exact dispersive Casimir-Polder potential between a ground-state atom and a rectangular grating. Our formalism allows, in princi…
Disorder in quantum vacuum: Casimir-induced localization of matter waves
G. A. Moreno, R. Messina, D. A. R. Dalvit +3
Disordered geometrical boundaries such as rough surfaces induce important modifications to the mode spectrum of the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. In analogy to Anderson localizat…
Quantum Darwinism
Wojciech Hubert Zurek
Quantum Darwinism describes the proliferation, in the environment, of multiple records of selected states of a quantum system. It explains how the fragility of a state of a single…
A generalized no-broadcasting theorem
Howard Barnum, Jonathan Barrett, Matthew Leifer +1
We prove a generalized version of the no-broadcasting theorem, applicable to essentially \emph{any} nonclassical finite-dimensional probabilistic model satisfying a no-signaling cr…
Quantum Darwinism in quantum Brownian motion: the vacuum as a witness
Robin Blume-Kohout, Wojciech H. Zurek
We study quantum Darwinism -- the redundant recording of information about a decohering system by its environment -- in zero-temperature quantum Brownian motion. An initially nonlo…
