Interaction and Evolution in Classical Mechanics and in Quantum Mechanics, and Indefinite Causal Orders
I describe a few theorems that show that, in classical mechanics (Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics), the intrinsic structure of the dynamics naturally distinguishes the concept of interaction from that of evolution, and, correlatively, position…
Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper Award for Quantum Foundations
We congratulate the authors of the publication "Quantum theory based on real numbers can be experimentally falsified": Marc-Olivier Renou, David Trillo, Mirjam Weilenmann, Thinh P. Le, Armin Tavakoli, Nicolas Gisin, Antonio Acín and Miguel Navascues
In the first half of this talk, I will review the status of experiments on Bose-Einstein condensation of polaritons ("heavy photons"), including the transition from nonequilibrium behavior to true equilibrium behavior as their lifetime is increased…
Realism, Intuitiveness, and the Scandal of Entanglement. Einstein and Schrödinger on EPR
Even though Einstein and Schrödinger were centrally important for the development of modern quantum physics, they never accepted quantum mechanics and its interpretation through the “Copenhagen School” as a satisfying foundational theory.
Quantum Fisher Information and its dynamical nature
The importance of the quantum Fisher information metric is testified by the number of applications that this has in very different fields, ranging from hypothesis testing to metrology, passing through thermodynamics.
General probabilistic theories in phase space, the harmonic oscillator and the hydrogen atom
We show that the framework of general probabilistic theories can be extended to describe continuous-variable theories on phase space and that the phase-space formulation of general probabilistic theories can include a generalized time-evolution.
A novel experimental platform for waveguide QED with cold atoms and photonic crystal waveguides
Novel platforms interfacing trapped cold atoms and guided light in nanoscale waveguides are a promising route to achieve a regime of strong coupling between light and atoms in single pass.
On the Relationship between Reconstructing and Interpreting Quantum Mechanics
The program of reconstructing quantum theory based on information-theoretic principles enjoys much popularity in the foundations of physics. Surprisingly, this endeavor has only received very little attention in philosophy.
Testing quantum mechanics with 16-microgram Schrödinger cat states
The superposition principle is one of the most fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. According to the Schrödinger equation, a physical system can be in any linear combination of its possible states.
New insights into causal inference from the point of view of a quantum physicist
The area of causal inference formalizes long-held human intuitions about cause and effect that were previously absent from scientific…
