Complementary Observables and Non-Boolean Logic Outside Quantum Physics

Harald Atmanspacher, Peter beim Graben

The concept of complementarity in combination with a non-Boolean calculus of propositions refers to a pivotal feature of quantum systems which has long been regarded as a key to th…

Quantum theory of an electromagnetic observer: classically behaving macroscopic systems and emergence of classical world in quantum electrodynamics

L. I. Plimak, Misha Ivanov, A. Aiello +1

Quantum electrodynamics under conditions of distinguishability of interacting matter entities, and of controlled actions and back-actions between them, is considered. Such "mesosco…

A folded-sandwich polarization-entangled two-color photon pair source with large tuning capability for applications in hybrid quantum architectures

Otto Dietz, Chris Müller, Thomas Kreißl +4

We demonstrate a two-color entangled pho ton pair source which can be adapted easily to a wide range of wavelengths combinations. A Fresnel rhomb as a geometrical quarter-wave plat…

Slalom in complex time: emergence of low-energy structures in tunnel ionization via complex time contours

Emilio Pisanty, Misha Ivanov

The ionization of atoms by strong, low-frequency fields can generally be described well by assuming that the photoelectron is, after the ionization step, completely at the mercy of…

Optimal measurements for the discrimination of quantum states with a fixed rate of inconclusive results

Ulrike Herzog

We study the discrimination of N mixed quantum states in an optimal measurement that maximizes the probability of correct results while the probability of inconclusive results is f…

Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update

Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49

Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
