Unitary operator bases as universal averaging sets
Marcin Markiewicz, Konrad Schlichtholz
We provide a generalization of the idea of unitary designs to cover finite averaging over much more general operations on quantum states. Namely, we construct finite averaging sets…

On physicality of electromagnetic potential from causal structure of flux quantization
Konrad Schlichtholz, Marcin Markiewicz
Recent work by Vaidman [Phys. Rev. A 86,040101 (2012)] showed that Aharonov-Bohm effect can be explained in terms of local fields, thus effectively restating an old problem of phys…

Against (unitary) interpretation (of quantum mechanics): removing the metaphysical load
Marek Żukowski, Marcin Markiewicz
In June 1925 Heisenberg arrived at Helgoland/Heligoland island to escape a fit of hay fever. He returned with a sketch of a strange theory of the micro-world, which we now call qua…
