Classical and Quantum Measurement Theory. (arXiv:2201.04667v1 [quant-ph]) 上午10:15 | Peter Morgan | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org Classical and quantum measurement theories are usually held to be different because the algebra of classical measurements is commutative, however the Poisson bracket allows noncommutativity to be added naturally. After we introduce noncommutativity into classical measurement theory, we can also add quantum noise, differentiated… Read more →

Statistics on Lefschetz thimbles: Bell/Leggett-Garg inequalities and the classical-statistical approximation. (arXiv:2011.02657v1 [hep-th]) 上午10:08 | Zong-Gang Mou, Peter Millington, Paul M. Saffin, Anders Tranberg | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org Inspired by Lefschetz thimble theory, we treat Quantum Field Theory as a statistical theory with a complex Probability Distribution Function (PDF). Such complex-valued PDFs permit the violation of Bell-type inequalities, which cannot… Read more →

Vacuum entanglement harvesting with a zero mode. (arXiv:2002.11790v1 [quant-ph]) 下午12:05 | Erickson Tjoa, Eduardo Martín-Martínez | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org We investigate vacuum entanglement harvesting in the presence of a zero mode. We show that, for a variety of detector models and couplings (namely, Unruh-DeWitt qubit and harmonic oscillator detectors, amplitude and derivative coupling), the results are strongly dependent on… Read more →

MOND vs. dark matter in light of historical parallels. (arXiv:1910.04368v1 [astro-ph.GA]) 2019年10月11日 星期五 下午8:32 | physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org Authors: Mordehai Milgrom MOND is a paradigm that contends to account for the mass discrepancies in the Universe without invoking `dark’ components, such as `dark matter’ and `dark energy’. It does so by supplanting Newtonian dynamics and General Relativity, departing from them… Read more →

50 years in the Landau Institute environment. (arXiv:1810.04447v5 [physics.hist-ph] UPDATED)  physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org on 2018-10-20 1:07am GMT Authors: G.E. Volovik Khalatnikov created the unique Institute, where practically all the important areas of theoretical physics have been represented, opening the broad way for collaboration. Here I discuss the influence of the multilayer environment of Landau Institute on my work during 50… Read more →

On the Nature of Discrete Space-Time: The distance formula, relativistic time dilation and length contraction in discrete space-time. (arXiv:1803.03126v1 [physics.gen-ph])  gr-qc updates on arXiv.org on 2018-3-10 1:42am GMT Authors: David Crouse, Joseph Skufca In this work, the relativistic phenomena of Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction and time dilation are derived using a modified distance formula that is appropriate for discrete space. This new distance formula… Read more →
