Geometric phase from Aharonov-Bohm to Pancharatnam-Berry and beyond

Eliahu Cohen, Hugo Larocque, Frederic Bouchard +3

Whenever a quantum system undergoes a cycle governed by a slow change of parameters, it acquires a phase factor: the geometric phase. Its most common formulations are known as the…

Hypercubic cluster states in the phase modulated quantum optical frequency comb

Xuan Zhu, Chun-Hung Chang, Carlos González-Arciniegas +3

We propose and fully analyze the simplest technique to date to generate light-based universal quantum computing resources, namely 2D, 3D and, in general, n-hypercubic cluster state…

Quantization of the mean decay time for non-Hermitian quantum systems

Felix Thiel, David A. Kessler, Eli Barkai

We show that the mean time, which a quantum particle needs to escape from a system to the environment, is quantized and independent from most dynamical details of the system. In pa…

Entanglement: Quantum or Classical?

Dilip Paneru, Eliahu Cohen, Robert Fickler +2

From its seemingly non-intuitive and puzzling nature, most evident in numerous EPR-like gedankenexperiments to its almost ubiquitous presence in quantum technologies, entanglement…

Photonic realization of erasure-based nonlocal measurements

Wei-Wei Pan, Xiao-Ye Xu, Eliahu Cohen +6

Relativity theory severely restricts the ability to perform nonlocal measurements in quantum mechanics. Studying such nonlocal schemes may thus reveal insights regarding the relati…

A relational time-symmetric framework for analyzing the quantum computational speedup

Giuseppe Castagnoli, Eliahu Cohen, Artur Ekert +1

The usual representation of quantum algorithms is limited to the process of solving the problem. We extend it to the process of setting the problem. Bob, the problem setter, select…

Weak-to-strong transition of quantum measurement in a trapped-ion system

Yiming Pan, Jie Zhang, Eliahu Cohen +3

Quantum measurement remains a puzzle through its stormy history from the birth of quantum mechanics to state-of-the-art quantum technologies. Two complementary measurement schemes…

A quasiprobability distribution for heat fluctuations in the quantum regime

Amikam Levy, Matteo Lostaglio

The standard approach to deriving fluctuation theorems fails to capture the effect of quantum correlation and coherence in the initial state of the system. Here we overcome this di…

Quantum enhanced X-ray detection

S. Sofer, E. Strizhevsky, A. Schori +2

We present the first experimental demonstration of quantum-enhanced detection at x-ray wavelengths. We show that x-ray pairs that are generated by spontaneous down-conversion can b…

Dark states of quantum search cause imperfect detection

Felix Thiel, Itay Mualem, Dror Meidan +2

We consider a quantum walk where a detector repeatedly probes the system with fixed rate until the walker is detected. This is a quantum version of the first-passage problem.…

Uncertainty and symmetry bounds for the quantum total detection probability

Felix Thiel, Itay Mualem, David A. Kessler +1

We investigate a generic discrete quantum system prepared in state , under repeated detection attempts aimed to find the particle in state , for exa…

Nonlocal Quantum Erasure of Phase Objects

Lu Gao, Yingwen Zhang, Eliahu Cohen +2

The Franson interference is a fourth order interference effect, which unlike the better known Hong-Ou-Mandel interference, does not require the entangled photon pairs to be present…

Knowledge of Quantum Hidden Variables Enables Backwards-In-Time Signaling

Avishy Carmi, Eliahu Cohen, Lorenzo Maccone +1

Bell's theorem implies that any completion of quantum mechanics which uses hidden variables (that is, preexisting values of all observables) must be nonlocal in the Einstein sense.…

Why physical understanding should precede the mathematical formalism - conditional quantum probabilities as a case-study

Yakir Aharonov, Eliahu Cohen, David H. Oaknin

Conditional probabilities in quantum systems which have both initial and final boundary conditions are commonly evaluated using the Aharonov-Bergmann-Lebowitz rule. In this short n…

Realism and causality I: Pilot wave and retrocausal models as possible facilitators

Eliahu Cohen, Marina Cortês, Avshalom C. Elitzur +1

Of all basic principles of classical physics, realism should arguably be the last to be given up when seeking a better interpretation of quantum mechanics. We examine the de Brogli…

Construction and universal application of entanglement erasing partner states

Daniel Hetterich, Polina Matveeva

We investigate the subadditivity of the bipartite entanglement entropy (EE) of many-particle states, represented by Slater determinants, with respect to single particle excitations…

Multiplicative Bell Inequalities

Amit Te'eni, Bar Y. Peled, Avishy Carmi +1

Bell inequalities are important tools in contrasting classical and quantum behaviors. To date, most Bell inequalities are linear combinations of statistical correlations between re…
