Conservation laws and the foundations of quantum mechanics
Yakir Aharonov, Sandu Popescu, Daniel Rohrlich
In a recent paper, PNAS, 118, e1921529118 (2021), it was argued that while the standard definition of conservation laws in quantum mechanics, which is of a statistical character, i…
Separating a particle's mass from its momentum
Mordecai Waegell, Jeff Tollaksen, Yakir Aharonov
The Quantum Cheshire Cat experiment showed that when weak measurements are performed on pre- and post-selected system, the counterintuitive result has been obtained that a neutron…
Instability and quantization in quantum hydrodynamics
Yakir Aharonov, Tomer Shushi
In this short paper, we show how a quantum nonlocal effect of far-apart wavepackets in the Schrodinger picture of wavefunctions is replaced by a local instability problem when cons…
Improving the proof of the Born rule using a physical requirement on the dynamics of quantum particles
Yakir Aharonov, Tomer Shushi
We propose a complete proof of the Born rule using an additional postulate stating that for a short enough time Δt between two measurements, a property of a particle will keep its…
Time-symmetry and topology of the Aharonov-Bohm effect
Yakir Aharonov, Ismael L. Paiva, Zohar Schwartzman-Nowik +2
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect has been highly influential in fundamental and applied physics. Its topological nature commonly implies that an electron encircling a magnetic flux so…
Super-phenomena in arbitrary quantum observables
Andrew N. Jordan, Yakir Aharonov, Daniele C. Struppa +6
Superoscillations occur when a globally band-limited function locally oscillates faster than its highest Fourier coefficient. We generalize this effect to arbitrary quantum mechani…
