Master equation for systems interacting with linearized gravity
Oliviero Angeli, Anirudh Gundhi, Angelo Bassi
We investigate the open quantum dynamics of a system of two masses interacting with an environment of linearized gravitational waves. We formulate the analysis in terms of the obse…
Probing the Quantum Nature of Gravity through Classical Diffusion
Oliviero Angeli, Sandro Donadi, Giovanni Di Bartolomeo +3
The question of whether gravity is fundamentally quantum remains one of the deepest open problems in modern physics. A recently explored approach consists of testing gravity's abil…
From equivalent Lagrangians to inequivalent open quantum system dynamics
Anirudh Gundhi, Oliviero Angeli, Angelo Bassi
Lagrangians can differ by a total derivative without altering the equations of motion, thus encoding the same physics. This is true both classically and quantum mechanically. We sh…
Entanglement in Markovian hybrid classical-quantum theories of gravity
Oliviero Angeli, Matteo Carlesso
Markovian master equations underlie many areas of modern physics and, despite their apparent simplicity, they encode a rich and complex dynamics which is still under active researc…
