Quantum clocks and the temporal localisability of events in the presence of gravitating quantum systems

Esteban Castro-Ruiz, Flaminia Giacomini, Alessio Belenchia +1

The standard formulation of quantum theory relies on a fixed space-time metric determining the localisation and causal order of events. In general relativity, the metric is influen…

Entropy Production in Continuously Measured Gaussian Quantum Systems

Alessio Belenchia, Luca Mancino, Gabriel T. Landi +1

The entropy production rate is a key quantity in non-equilibrium thermodynamics of both classical and quantum processes. No universal theory of entropy production is available to d…

Talbot--Lau effect beyond the point-particle approximation

Alessio Belenchia, Giulio Gasbarri, Rainer Kaltenbaek +2

Recent progress in matter-wave interferometry aims to directly probe the quantum properties of matter on ever increasing scales. However, in order to perform interferometric experi…

Information Content of the Gravitational Field of a Quantum Superposition

Alessio Belenchia, Robert M. Wald, Flaminia Giacomini +3

When a massive quantum body is put into a spatial superposition, it is of interest to consider the quantum aspects of the gravitational field sourced by the body. We argue that in…

Tests of Quantum Gravity-Induced Non-Locality: Hamiltonian formulation of a non-local harmonic oscillator

Alessio Belenchia, Dionigi M. T. Benincasa, Francesco Marin +4

Motivated by the development of on-going optomechanical experiments aimed at constraining non-local effects inspired by some quantum gravity scenarios, the Hamiltonian formulation…
