Observation of associative-memory retrieval and spin-glass phases on a photonic quantum simulator

Taira Giordani, Gennaro Zanfardino, Luca Leuzzi +16

Models of interacting complex systems provide the fundamental statistical physics reference frame for the study and the understanding of associative memories, machine learning, and…

Geometric measures of quantum nonlocality: characterization, quantification, and comparison by distances and operations

Gennaro Zanfardino, Wojciech Roga, Gianluigi Tartaglione +2

We introduce a geometric framework for studying Bell nonlocality in Hilbert space, where, for a given quantum state, nonlocality is quantified by the distance between the state and…

Multiphoton quantum simulation of the generalized Hopfield memory model

Gennaro Zanfardino, Stefano Paesani, Luca Leuzzi +5

In the present work, we introduce, develop, and investigate a connection between multiphoton quantum interference, a core element of emerging photonic quantum technologies, and Hop…

Chiral and flavor oscillations in quantum field theory

Massimo Blasone, Gennaro Zanfardino

Massive fermions produced through weak charged interactions possess a definite chirality, which is not conserved during free propagation, leading to chiral oscillations. Neutrinos…

Chiral and flavor oscillations in a hyperentangled neutrino state

Victor Bittencourt, Massimo Blasone, Gennaro Zanfardino

In addition to flavor oscillations, Dirac neutrinos also undergo the so-called chiral oscillations, a consequence of the free-particle dynamics under the Dirac equation. Such a tra…

Chiral oscillations in quantum field theory

Victor Bittencourt, Massimo Blasone, Gennaro Zanfardino

Dirac particles have two intrinsic degrees-of-freedom, helicity and chirality. While helicity is conserved in time, chirality is not constant under time evolution for massive parti…
