How to fix a broken symmetry: Quantum dynamics of symmetry restoration in a ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate
Bogdan Damski, Wojciech H. Zurek
We discuss the dynamics of a quantum phase transition in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate when it is driven from the magnetized broken-symmetry phase to the unmagnetized ``symmetr…
Relative States and the Environment: Einselection, Envariance, Quantum Darwinism, and the Existential Interpretation
Wojciech Hubert Zurek
Starting with basic axioms of quantum theory I revisit "Relative State Interpretation'' set out 50 years ago by Hugh Everett.
Quantum Darwinism in quantum Brownian motion: the vacuum as a witness
Robin Blume-Kohout, Wojciech H. Zurek
We study quantum Darwinism -- the redundant recording of information about a decohering system by its environment -- in zero-temperature quantum Brownian motion. An initially nonlo…
Dynamics of a quantum phase transition in a ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate
Bogdan Damski, Wojciech H. Zurek
We discuss dynamics of a slow quantum phase transition in a spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate. We determine analytically the scaling properties of the system magnetization and verify…
Quantum origin of quantum jumps: Breaking of unitary symmetry induced by information transfer and the transition from quantum to classical
Wojciech Hubert Zurek
Measurements transfer information about a system to the apparatus, and then further on -- to observers and (often inadvertently) to the environment. I show that even imperfect copy…
Measurement of energy eigenstates by a slow detector
I. Martin, W. H. Zurek
We propose a method for a weak continuous measurement of the energy eigenstates of a fast quantum system by means of a "slow" detector. Such a detector is only sensitive to slowly-…
