Modelling quantum measurement dynamics: from decoherence to redundancy with site-hopping indistinguishable particles
Katja Schneeweiss, Tom Rivlin, Maximilian P. E. Lock +2
In recent years, new theoretical insights into decoherence and quantum measurements have emerged through the study of many-body dynamics in isolated quantum systems. It is now unde…
Equilibration of objective observables in a dynamical model of quantum measurements
Sophie Engineer, Tom Rivlin, Sabine Wollmann +2
The challenge of understanding quantum measurement persists as a fundamental issue in modern physics. Particularly, the abrupt and energy-non-conserving collapse of the wave functi…
Emergence of Classicality in Wigner's Friend Scenarios
Tom Rivlin, Sophie Engineer, Veronika Baumann
The Wigner's Friend (WF) thought experiment concerns quantum measurements by a 'superobserver' of an observer measuring a quantum system. Variations on the setup and its extended v…
Emergence of a second law of thermodynamics in isolated quantum systems
Florian Meier, Tom Rivlin, Tiago Debarba +3
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system can only increase over time. This appears to conflict with the reversible evolution of isolated quant…
