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…

The time of arrival problem in the Page-Wootters formalism

Niyusha Hosseini, Maximilian P. E. Lock

The time-of-arrival problem asks for the probability distribution for when a quantum particle reaches a specified location. It has been the subject of decades of debate, exemplifyi…

Average Equilibration Time for Gaussian Unitary Ensemble Hamiltonians

Emanuel Schwarzhans, Alessandro Candeloro, Felix C. Binder +2

Understanding equilibration times in closed quantum systems is essential for characterising their approach to equilibrium. Chaotic many-body systems are paradigmatic in this contex…

Time delocalization and causality across temporal quantum reference frames

Veronika Baumann, Maximilian P. E. Lock

In relational quantum dynamics, evolution emerges via the correlations between some system of interest and a clock system, which plays the role of a temporal reference frame. Their…

Quantum detectors as autonomous machines: assessing the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of information acquisition

Emanuel Schwarzhans, Tony J. G. Apollaro, Ilia Khomchenko +3

We formulate a minimal model of a quantum particle detector as an autonomous quantum thermal machine. Our goal is to establish how entropy production, which is needed to maintain t…

Relational Dynamics with Periodic Clocks

Leonardo Chataignier, Philipp A. Hoehn, Maximilian P. E. Lock +1

We discuss a systematic way in which a relational dynamics can be established relative to periodic clocks both in the classical and quantum theories, emphasising the parallels betw…
