Quantum Interference and the Limits of Separability

Sebastian Horvat

Quantum theory implies, and empirical evidence confirms, that while particles exhibit wave-like behavior in interferometric experiments, this behavior is so limited…

Acquisition of delocalized information via classical and quantum carriers

Julian Maisriml, Sebastian Horvat, Borivoje Dakić

We investigate the information-theoretic power of spatial superposition by analyzing tasks in which infor- mation is locally encoded at multiple distant sites and must be acquired…

Notes on a future quantum event-ontology

Sebastian Horvat

This essay is a two-step reflection on the question 'Which events (can be said to) occur in quantum phenomena?' The first step regiments the ontological category of "statistical ph…

Carnap on Quantum Mechanics

Sebastian Horvat, Iulian D. Toader

This entry reviews Rudolf Carnap's philosophical views on the quantum mechanics of his time. It also offers some thoughts on how Carnap might have reacted to some recent developmen…

An Alleged Tension between Non-classical Logics and Applied Classical Mathematics

Sebastian Horvat, Iulian D. Toader

Timothy Williamson has recently argued that the applicability of classical mathematics in the natural and social sciences raises a problem for the endorsement, in non-mathematical…

Quantum Logic and Meaning

Sebastian Horvat, Iulian D. Toader

This paper gives a formulation of quantum logic in the abstract algebraic setting laid out by Dunn and Hardegree (2001). On this basis, it provides a comparative analysis of viable…

Comment on "Quantum principle of relativity"

Flavio Del Santo, Sebastian Horvat

A. Dragan and A. Ekert [New Journal of Physics, 22(3), p.033038.] have recently claimed that fundamental properties of quantum physics (e.g. fundamental indeterminism and the princ…

Accessing inaccessible information via quantum indistinguishability

Sebastian Horvat, Borivoje Dakić

In this paper we present and analyze an information-theoretic task that consists in learning a bit of information by spatially moving the "target" particle that encodes it. We show…

Universal quantum computation via quantum controlled classical operations

Sebastian Horvat, Xiaoqin Gao, Borivoje Dakić

A universal set of gates for (classical or quantum) computation is a set of gates that can be used to approximate any other operation. It is well known that a universal set for cla…

Probing quantum coherence at a distance and Aharonov-Bohm non-locality

Sebastian Horvat, Philippe Allard Guerin, Luca Apadula +1

In a standard interferometry experiment, one measures the phase difference between two paths by recombining the two wave packets on a beam-splitter. However, it has been recently r…

Interference as an information-theoretic game

Sebastian Horvat, Borivoje Dakić

The double slit experiment provides a clear demarcation between classical and quantum theory, while multi-slit experiments demarcate quantum and higher-order interference theories.…

Quantum enhancement to information acquisition speed

Sebastian Horvat, Borivoje Dakić

The speed of the transmission of a physical signal from a sender to a receiver is limited by the speed of light, regardless of the physical system being classical or quantum. In th…
