The Uncertainty Principle in the Presence of Quantum Memory

Mario Berta, Matthias Christandl, Roger Colbeck +2

The uncertainty principle, originally formulated by Heisenberg, dramatically illustrates the difference between classical and quantum mechanics. The principle bounds the uncertaint…

On the Electromagnetic Properties of Matter in Collapse Models

Angelo Bassi, Detlef Duerr

We discuss the electromagnetic properties of both a charged free particle, and a charged particle bounded by an harmonic potential, within collapse models. By choosing a particular…

A Categorical Framework for Quantum Theory

Thomas Filk, Albrecht von Mueller

Underlying any theory of physics is a layer of conceptual frames. They connect the mathematical structures used in theoretical models with physical phenomena, but they also constit…

Relaxation of a qubit measured by a driven Duffing oscillator

I. Serban, M. I. Dykman, F. K. Wilhelm

We investigate the relaxation of a superconducting qubit for the case when its detector, the Josephson bifurcation amplifier, remains latched in one of its two (meta)stable states…

Entanglement and communication-reducing properties of noisy N-qubit states

Wieslaw Laskowski, Tomasz Paterek, Caslav Brukner +1

We consider properties of states of many qubits, which arise after sending certain entangled states via various noisy channels (white noise, coloured noise, local depolarization, d…

Emergence of pointer states in a non-perturbative environment

Marc Busse, Klaus Hornberger

We show that the pointer basis distinguished by collisional decoherence consists of exponentially localized, solitonic wave packets. Based on the orthogonal unraveling of the quant…

Entangling the free motion of a particle pair: an experimental scenario

Clemens Gneiting, Klaus Hornberger

The concept of dissociation-time entanglement provides a means of manifesting non-classical correlations in the motional state of two counter-propagating atoms. In this article, we…

Strong coupling of a mechanical oscillator and a single atom

K. Hammerer, M. Wallquist, C. Genes +6

We propose and analyze a setup to achieve strong coupling between a single trapped atom and a mechanical oscillator. The interaction between the motion of the atom and the mechanic…
