Expectation-Realization Interpretation of Quantum Superposition IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 10h arXiv:2511.04154v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: By comparing Schr\”odinger’s cat with its classical counterpart, I show that a quantum superposition should be understood as an expectation over possible eigenstates weighted by wave-like probabilities. Upon the occurrence of a certain event, the quantum system is randomly realized into one… Read more →

Entanglement and Thermodynamic Scaling Laws in Quantum Superabsorption IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 11h arXiv:2510.26373v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum batteries (QBs) exploit collective quantum resources to surpass the limits of classical energy storage and power delivery. We analyze $N$-qubit cavity-coupled QBs governed by Dicke and Tavis–Cummings models under Gaussian driving and open-system dynamics. Finite-size scaling laws $\mathcal{O}(N)\!\sim\!N^{\alpha}$… Read more →

Quantum mysteries explained in digestible form IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 13h arXiv:2510.20144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Years ago, Itamar Pitowski asked two relevant questions: Why microphysical (quantum) phenomena and classical phenomena differ in the way they do? and, what kind of explanation could qualify as a reasonable one? I argue that both questions can be answered by… Read more →

Universal Growth of Krylov Complexity Across A Quantum Phase Transition IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 11h arXiv:2510.13947v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the statistical properties of the spread complexity in the Krylov space of quantum systems driven across a quantum phase transition. Using the diabatic Magnus expansion, we map the evolution to an effective one-dimensional hopping model…. Read more →
