Quantum coherent oscillations in the early universe
Igor Pikovski, Abraham Loeb
Cosmic inflation is commonly assumed to be driven by quantum fields. Quantum mechanics predicts phenomena such as quantum fluctuations and tunneling of the field. Here we show an e…
Brief reply to "Can gravity account for the emergence of classicality?"
Igor Pikovski, Magdalena Zych, Fabio Costa +1
In a series of comments, Bonder et al. criticized our work on decoherence due to time dilation [Nature Physics 11, 668-672 (2015)]. First the authors erroneously claimed that our r…
Time Dilation in Quantum Systems and Decoherence: Questions and Answers
Igor Pikovski, Magdalena Zych, Fabio Costa +1
Recent work has shown that relativistic time dilation results in correlations between a particle's internal and external degrees of freedom, leading to decoherence of the latter. I…
Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49
Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
