Weekly Papers on Quantum Foundations (6)

Bell and EPR experiments with signalling data IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 6h arXiv:2602.05507v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The no-signalling principle is a fundamental assumption in Bell-inequality and quantum-steering experiments. Nonetheless, experimental imperfections can lead to apparent violations beyond those expected from finite-sample statistics. Here, we propose extensions of local hidden variable and local hidden state theories that… Read more →

On the quantum nature of strong gravity IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 10h arXiv:2601.21145v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Belenchia et al. [Phys. Rev. D 98, 126009 (2018)] have analyzed a gedankenexperiment where two observers, Alice and Bob, attempt to communicate via superluminal signals using a superposition of massive particles dressed by Newtonian fields and a test particle as… Read more →

Physical Framework of Quantization Problem IJQF Weekly Papers • physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org / 4d arXiv:physics/0306079v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The paper presents shortly the geometric approach to the problem of a general quantization formalism, both physically meaningful and mathematically consistent. Deterministic Theories IJQF Weekly Papers • physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org / 4d arXiv:2503.05681v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Determinism is (roughly) the thesis that… Read more →

Casimir interactions as a probe of broadband optical response IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 6h arXiv:2601.10118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Casimir forces arise from quantum electromagnetic fluctuations and depend on the dielectric response of interacting materials across the entire frequency spectrum. Although this dependence is central to Lifshitz theory of the Casimir effect, the formulation of the force… Read more →

Hardy nonlocality for entangled pairs in a four-particle system IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 13h arXiv:2601.04636v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Nonlocality can be studied through different approaches, such as Bell’s inequalities, and it can be found in numerous quantum states, including GHZ states or graph states. Hardy’s paradox, or Hardy-type nonlocality, provides a way to investigate nonlocality for… Read more →

Coexistence of Anderson Localization and Quantum Scarring in Two Dimensions IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 1d arXiv:2512.20788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study finite two-dimensional disordered systems with periodic confinement. At low energies, eigenstates exhibit strong Anderson localization, while at higher energies a subset of states forms variational scars with anisotropic intensity patterns that violate random wave expectations….

AC Stark effect or time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect for particle on a ring IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 7h arXiv:2512.15935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the effect of a time-varying solenoidal vector potential for a quantum particle confined to a ring. The setup appears to be a time-varying version of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, but since the particle moves… Read more →

Quantumness via Discrete Structures IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 7h arXiv:2512.10063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantum theory departs from classical probabilistic theories in foundational ways. These departures–termed quantumness here–power quantum information and computation. This thesis charts the role of discrete structures in assessing quantumness, synthesizing elements of my postdoctoral research through this lens. After an introduction to the… Read more →

Physical Probability in the Everett Interpretation and Bell Inequalities IJQF Weekly Papers • physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org / 2d arXiv:2512.00575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: I define a notion of local causality LOC closely modelled on the Bell principle, construed as the condition that single case probabilities cannot be modified by actions at spacelike separation. The new principle, like that of Bell, forces… Read more →

Higher-order Zeno sequences IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 1d arXiv:2511.20792v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The quantum Zeno effect typically refers to freezing the dynamics of a quantum system through frequent observations. In general, quantum Zeno dynamics is obtained with an error of order $\mathcal{O}(1/N)$, where $N$ is the number of projective measurements performed within a fixed evolution time…. Read more →

On the Potential of Microtubules for Scalable Quantum Computation IJQF Weekly Papers • quant-ph updates on arXiv.org / 20h arXiv:2505.20364v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We examine the quantum coherence properties of tubulin heterodimers arranged into the protofilaments of cytoskeletal microtubules. In the physical model proposed by the authors, the microtubule interiors are treated as high-Q quantum electrodynamics (QED) cavities that can support… Read more →
