Reality, locality and all that: "experimental metaphysics" and the quantum foundations
Eric G. Cavalcanti
In recent decades there has been a resurge of interest in the foundations of quantum theory, partly motivated by new experimental techniques, partly by the emerging field of quantu…
Criteria for generalized macroscopic and mesoscopic quantum coherence
E. G. Cavalcanti, M. D. Reid
We consider macroscopic, mesoscopic and "S-scopic" quantum superpositions of eigenstates of an observable, and develop some signatures for their existence. We define the extent, or…
Uncertainty relations for the realisation of macroscopic quantum superpositions and EPR paradoxes
E. G. Cavalcanti, M. D. Reid
We present a unified approach, based on the use of quantum uncertainty relations, for arriving at criteria for the demonstration of the EPR paradox and macroscopic superpositions.…
Bell inequalities for continuous-variable correlations
E. G. Cavalcanti, C. J. Foster, M. D. Reid +1
We derive a new class of correlation Bell-type inequalities. The inequalities are valid for any number of outcomes of two observables per each of n parties, including continuous an…
Signatures for generalized macroscopic superpositions
E. G. Cavalcanti, M. D. Reid
We develop criteria sufficient to enable detection of macroscopic coherence where there are not just two macroscopically distinct outcomes for a pointer measurement, but rather a s…
