State dependence of tunneling processes and thermonuclear fusion
Roberto Onofrio, Carlo Presilla
We discuss the sensitivity of tunneling processes to the initial preparation of the quantum state. We compare the case of Gaussian wave packets of different positional variances us…
Uncertainty-principle noise in vacuum-tunneling transducers
Carlo Presilla, Roberto Onofrio, Mark F. Bocko
The fundamental sources of noise in a vacuum-tunneling probe used as an electromechanical transducer to monitor the location of a test mass are examined using a first-quantization…
On electrostatic and Casimir force measurements between conducting surfaces in a sphere-plane configuration
W. J. Kim, M. Brown-Hayes, D. A. R. Dalvit +2
We report on measurements of forces acting between two conducting surfaces in a spherical-plane configuration in the 35 nm-1 micrometer separation range. The measurements are obtai…
Modelling superradiant amplification of Casimir photons in very low dissipation cavities
J. H. Brownell, W. J. Kim, R. Onofrio
Recent advances in nanotechnology and atomic physics may allow for a demonstration of the dynamical Casimir effect. An array of film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) coherently dri…
Are violations to temporal Bell inequalities there when somebody looks?
Tommaso Calarco, Marcello Cini, Roberto Onofrio
The possibility of observing violations of temporal Bell inequalities, originally proposed by Leggett as a mean of testing the quantum mechanical delocalization of suitably chosen…
Optimal Monitoring of Position in Nonlinear Quantum Systems
Michael B. Mensky, Roberto Onofrio, Carlo Presilla
We discuss a model of repeated measurements of position in a quantum system which is monitored for a finite amount of time with a finite instrumental error. In this framework we re…
