The quantum vacuum
G. S. Paraoanu
The vacuum is the lowest energy state of a field in a certain region of space. This definition implies that no particles can be present in the vacuum state. In classical physics, t…
Extraction of information from a single quantum
G. S. Paraoanu
We investigate the possibility of performing quantum tomography on a single qubit with generalized partial measurements and the technique of measurement reversal. Using concepts fr…
Partial measurements and the realization of quantum-mechanical counterfactuals
G. S. Paraoanu
We propose partial measurements as a conceptual tool to understand how to operate with counterfactual claims in quantum physics. Indeed, unlike standard von Neumann measurements, p…
Realism and single-quanta nonlocality
G. S. Paraoanu
We show that local realism applied to states characterized by a single quanta equally and coherently shared between a number of qubits (so-called W states) produces predictions inc…
