Inconstant Planck's constant

Gianpiero Mangano, Fedele Lizzi, Alberto Porzio

Motivated by the Dirac idea that fundamental constant are dynamical variables and by conjectures on quantum structure of spacetime at small distances, we consider the possibility t…

Casimir--Polder force between anisotropic nanoparticles and gently curved surfaces

Giuseppe Bimonte, Thorsten Emig, Mehran Kardar

The Casimir--Polder interaction between an anisotropic particle and a surface is orientation dependent. We study novel orientational effects that arise due to curvature of the surf…

Klein's programme and Quantum Mechanics

J. Clemente-Gallardo, G. Marmo

We review the geometrical formulation of Quantum Mechanics to identify, according to Klein's programme, the corresponding group of transformations. For closed systems, it is the un…

Observing the Casimir-Lifshitz Force Out of Thermal Equilibrium

Giuseppe Bimonte

The thermal Casimir-Lifshitz force among two bodies held at different temperatures displays striking features that are absent in systems in thermal equilibrium. The manifestation o…

On pseudo-stochastic matrices and pseudo-positive maps

D. Chruściński, V. I. Man'ko, G. Marmo +1

Stochastic matrices and positive maps in matrix algebras proved to be very important tools for analysing classical and quantum systems. In particular they represent a natural set o…

Generalized tomographic maps and star-product formalism

M. Asorey, P. Facchi, V. I. Man'ko +3

We elaborate on the notion of generalized tomograms, both in the classical and quantum domains. We construct a scheme of star-products of thick tomographic symbols and obtain in ex…

Isolelectronic apparatus to probe the thermal Casimir force

Giuseppe Bimonte

Isoelectronic differential force measurements provide a unique opportunity to probe controversial features of the thermal Casimir effect, that are still much debated in the current…

Discrete Abelian Gauge Theories for Quantum Simulations of QED

Simone Notarnicola, Elisa Ercolessi, Paolo Facchi +3

We study a lattice gauge theory in Wilson's Hamiltonian formalism. In view of the realization of a quantum simulator for QED in one dimension, we introduce an Abelian model with a…

Resilience of hybrid optical angular momentum qubits to turbulence

Osvaldo Jiménez Farías, Vincenzo D'Ambrosio, Caterina Taballione +6

Recent schemes to encode quantum information into the total angular momentum of light, defining rotation-invariant hybrid qubits composed of the polarization and orbital angular mo…

Boundary dynamics and topology change in quantum mechanics

J. M. Pérez-Pardo, M. Barbero-Liñán, A. Ibort

We show how to use boundary conditions to drive the evolution on a Quantum Mechanical system. We will see how this problem can be expressed in terms of a time-dependent Schrödinger…

Measuring quantumness: from theory to observability in interferometric setups

Leonardo Ferro, Rosario Fazio, Fabrizio Illuminati +3

We investigate the notion of quantumness based on the non-commutativity of the algebra of observables and introduce a measure of quantumness based on the mutual incompatibility of…
