There are no particles, there are only fields

A Hobson - American journal of physics, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
Quantum foundations are still unsettled, with mixed effects on science and society. By now it
should be possible to obtain consensus on at least one issue: Are the fundamental …

Essential entanglement for atomic and molecular physics

MC Tichy, F Mintert, A Buchleitner - Journal of Physics B: Atomic …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Entanglement is nowadays considered as a key quantity for the understanding of
correlations, transport properties and phase transitions in composite quantum systems, and …

Experimental proof of nonlocal wavefunction collapse for a single particle using homodyne measurements

M Fuwa, S Takeda, M Zwierz, HM Wiseman… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
A single quantum particle can be described by a wavefunction that spreads over arbitrarily
large distances; however, it is never detected in two (or more) places. This strange …

On-chip generation of high-order single-photon W-states

M Gräfe, R Heilmann, A Perez-Leija, R Keil… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Quantum superposition is the quantum-mechanical property of a particle whereby it inhabits
several of its possible quantum states simultaneously. Ideally, this permissible coexistence …

Entanglement in neutrino oscillations

M Blasone, F Dell'Anno, S De Siena… - Europhysics …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Flavor oscillations in elementary particle physics are related to multimode entanglement of
single-particle states. We show that mode entanglement can be expressed in terms of flavor …

Localization and loss of coherence in molecular double-slit experiments

B Zimmermann, D Rolles, B Langer, R Hentges… - Nature Physics, 2008 - nature.com
In molecular double-slit experiments, the interference between emitted core electrons of
diatomic molecules gives rise to oscillations in the observed electron intensity. Here, we …

Aharonov-Bohm phase is locally generated like all other quantum phases

C Marletto, V Vedral - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
In the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, a superposed charge acquires a detectable phase by
enclosing an infinite solenoid, in a region where the solenoid's electric and magnetic fields …

The case of the disappearing (and re-appearing) particle

Y Aharonov, E Cohen, A Landau, AC Elitzur - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
A novel prediction is derived by the Two-State-Vector-Formalism (TSVF) for a particle
superposed over three boxes. Under appropriate pre-and post-selections, and with …

Multipartite entangled states in particle mixing

M Blasone, F Dell'Anno, S De Siena, M Di Mauro… - Physical Review D …, 2008 - APS
In the physics of flavor mixing, the flavor states are given by superpositions of mass
eigenstates. By using the occupation number to define a multiqubit space, the flavor states …

[HTML][HTML] Remarks about Bell-nonclassicality of a single photon

T Das, M Karczewski, A Mandarino, M Markiewicz… - Physics Letters A, 2022 - Elsevier
We discuss the interferometric scheme put forward by Tan, Walls, and Collett (TWC) that
claims to reveal Bell non-classicality of a single photon. We show that the violation of local …
