A note on the inner products of pure states and their antidistinguishability. (arXiv:2206.08313v1 [quant-ph]) 上午11:01 | Vincent Russo, Jamie Sikora | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org A set of d quantum states is said to be antidistinguishable if there exists a d-outcome POVM that can perfectly identify which state was not measured. A conjecture by Havl\’i\v{c}ek and Barrett states that if… Read more →
Causality, unitarity and stability in quantum gravity: a non-perturbative perspective. (arXiv:2206.04072v1 [hep-th]) 上午9:50 | gr-qc updates on arXiv.org Authors: Alessia Platania Resumming quantum fluctuations at the level of the gravitational path integral is expected to result in non-local effective actions and thus in a non-trivial momentum dependence of the propagator. Which properties the (dressed) graviton propagator has to satisfy and whether… Read more →

It is a standard view in quantum mechanics that two wave functions that differ only in the global phase represent the same physical state. In this paper, I argue that this standard view is wrong and the global phase is real in psi-ontic theories such as the de Broglie Bohm theory, the many-worlds interpretation and collapse theories of quantum mechanics.

Attached is our comment on the paper by Frank Lad, “Quantum Mysteries for No One” in Journal of Modern Physics (July 2021). Lad’s paper claims to refute Mermin’s result in, “Quantum Mysteries for Anyone” in Journal of Philosophy (1981). [Also published as, “Bringing home the atomic world: Quantum mysteries for anybody” in American Journal of Physics (1981).] While Lad may… Read more →
