Planck's scale dissipative effects in atom interferometry
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
Atom interferometers can be used to study phenomena leading to irreversibility and dissipation, induced by the dynamics of fundamental objects (strings and branes) at a large mass…
Complete positivity and dissipative factorized dynamics
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini, R. Romano
We show that any Hermiticity and trace preserving continuous semigroup gamma_t in d dimensions is completely positive if and only if the semigroup gamma_t otimes gamma_t is positiv…
Complete positivity and entangled degrees of freedom
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini, R. Romano
We study how some recently proposed noncontextuality tests based on quantum interferometry are affected if the test particles propagate as open systems in presence of a gaussian st…
Dissipation and decoherence in photon interferometry
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
The propagation of polarized photons in optical media can be effectively modeled by means of quantum dynamical semigroups. These generalized time evolutions consistently describe p…
