This investigation delves into the dynamics of quantum correlations and coherence within a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system, taking into account the influence of Rashba spin–orbit coupling (SOC). We utilize metrics such as logarithmic negativity (ℒ풩), local quantum uncertainty (LQU (풰)), and relative entropy of coherence (풞r) to specifically assess these quantum resources among electron spins within non-interacting electron gases. Our study investigates how the separation distance (
R ) between electrons and the intensity of Rashba SOC (α), impact the behavior of quantum properties within the 2DEG system. We find that specific strengths of Rashba SOC can effectively regulate quantum correlations and coherence within this system. Particularly significant is our observation that optimal quantum indicators emerge when electron proximity is minimized, underscoring the substantial influence of electron distance on quantum characteristics. Conversely, as electron separation increases, these quantum metrics diminish. Therefore, by adjusting the Rashba parameter, we can enhance the resilience of these quantum measurements against increasing electron separations, providing valuable insights into the potential for controlling and manipulating quantum behavior in similar 2DEG systems.

We review some recent results on the mathematical foundations of a quantum theory over a scalar field that is a quadratic extension of the non-Archimedean field of p -adic numbers. In our approach, we are inspired by the idea — first postulated in [I. V. Volovich, p -adic string, Class. Quantum Grav. 4 (1987) L83–L87] — that space, below a suitably small scale, does not behave as a continuum and, accordingly, should be modeled as a totally disconnected metrizable topological space, ruled by a metric satisfying the strong triangle inequality. The first step of our construction is a suitable definition of a p -adic Hilbert space. Next, after introducing all necessary mathematical tools — in particular, various classes of linear operators in a p -adic Hilbert space — we consider an algebraic definition of physical states in p -adic quantum mechanics. The corresponding observables, whose definition completes the statistical interpretation of the theory, are introduced as SOVMs, a p -adic counterpart of the POVMs associated with a standard quantum system over the complex numbers. Interestingly, it turns out that the typical convex geometry of the space of states of a standard quantum system is replaced, in the p -adic setting, with an affine geometry; therefore, a symmetry transformation of a p -adic quantum system may be defined as a map preserving this affine geometry. We argue that, as a consequence, the group of all symmetry transformations of a p -adic quantum system has a richer structure with respect to the case of standard quantum mechanics over the complex numbers.

Geometrical methods in quantum information are very promising for both providing technical tools and intuition into difficult control or optimization problems. Moreover, they are of fundamental importance in connecting pure geometrical theories, like GR, to quantum mechanics, like in the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this paper, we first make a survey of the most important settings in which geometrical methods have proven useful to quantum information theory. Then we lay down a geometric theory of entanglement by a principle of action, discussing a simple example with two qubits and consequences for a quantum theory of space-time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A black hole is a mysterious cosmic object that cannot be observed directly, and research on its structure continues with increasing interest today. Investigating the effects on the motion of a half-spin relativistic particle around a black hole may provide us with interesting information. Research on the particle scale requires considering quantum contributions, but a well-established quantum gravity theory has not yet been constructed in literature. In our research, the interaction between the spin of a Dirac particle and the gravitational field is discussed within the scope of the rainbow formalism, which is one of the most studied quantum gravity approaches.

In this study, we work on understanding the behavior of relativistic fermions within the framework of a (2+1)-dimensional gravitational wave environment. Our main objective is to uncover an analytical solution for the massless Dirac equation in this particular scenario. Initially, we derive a set of coupled equations that describe the quantum dynamics of the system under consideration. Subsequently, we embark on finding an analytical solution for the resulting wave equation governing Weyl fermions by utilizing the generators associated with the sℓ2 algebra. This approach enables us to determine the relativistic frequency modes of the system. We then delve into examining how the parameters of the gravitational wave spacetime influence the real oscillation modes of Weyl fermions. Our findings highlight the sensitivity of Weyl fermions to the specific gravitational wave spacetime background being considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we apply quantum cosmology to investigate the early moments of a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) cosmological model, using Hořava–Lifshitz (HL) as the gravitational theory. The matter content of the model is a dust perfect fluid. We start studying the classical model. Then, we write the total Hamiltonian of the model, quantize it and find the appropriate Wheeler–DeWitt equation. In order to avoid factor ordering ambiguities, in the Wheeler–DeWitt equation, we introduce a canonical transformation. We solve that equation using the Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation and compute the tunneling probabilities for the birth of that universe (T P WKB ). Since the WKB wave function depends on the dust energy and the free coupling constants coming from the HL theory, we compute the behavior of TP WKB as a function of all these quantities.

RATE distortion theory , *QUANTUM theory , *LOGICAL prediction - Abstract
We propose a quantum soft-covering problem for a given general quantum channel and one of its output states, which consists in finding the minimum rank of an input state needed to approximate the given channel output. We then prove a one-shot quantum covering lemma in terms of smooth min-entropies by leveraging decoupling techniques from quantum Shannon theory. This covering result is shown to be equivalent to a coding theorem for rate distortion under a posterior (reverse) channel distortion criterion by two of the present authors. Both one-shot results directly yield corollaries about the i.i.d. asymptotics, in terms of the coherent information of the channel. The power of our quantum covering lemma is demonstrated by two additional applications: first, we formulate a quantum channel resolvability problem, and provide one-shot as well as asymptotic upper and lower bounds. Second, we provide new upper bounds on the unrestricted and simultaneous identification capacities of quantum channels, in particular separating for the first time the simultaneous identification capacity from the unrestricted one, proving a long-standing conjecture of the last author.

QUANTUM communication , *ERROR probability , *QUANTUM theory , *QUANTUM information theory , *ENTROPY - Abstract
The single-letter characterization of the entanglement-assisted capacity of a quantum channel is one of the seminal results of quantum information theory. In this paper, we consider a modified communication scenario in which the receiver is allowed an additional, "inconclusive" measurement outcome, and we employ an error metric given by the error probability in decoding the transmitted message conditioned on a conclusive measurement result. We call this setting postselected communication and the ensuing highest achievable rates the postselected capacities. Here, we provide a precise single-letter characterization of postselected capacities in the setting of entanglement assistance as well as the more general nonsignaling assistance, establishing that they are both equal to the channel's projective mutual information — a variant of mutual information based on the Hilbert projective metric. We do so by establishing bounds on the one-shot postselected capacities, with a lower bound that makes use of a postselected teleportation-based protocol and an upper bound in terms of the postselected hypothesis testing relative entropy. As such, we obtain fundamental limits on a channel's ability to communicate even when this strong resource of postselection is allowed, implying limitations on communication even when the receiver has access to postselected closed timelike curves.

We present a criterion to establish the local continuity of the relative entropy of resource, i.e. the relative entropy distance to the set of free states, in any quantum resource theory. Several basic corollaries of this criterion are presented. Applications to the relative entropy of entanglement in multipartite quantum systems are considered. It is shown, in particular, that local continuity of any relative entropy of multipartite entanglement follows from local continuity of the quantum mutual information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

QUANTUM measurement , *QUANTUM states , *QUANTUM theory , *POSITIVE operators , *QUANTUM information theory - Abstract
Convex sets of quantum states and processes play a central role in quantum theory and quantum information. Many important examples of convex sets in quantum theory are spectrahedra, that is, sets of positive operators satisfying affine constraints. These examples include sets of quantum states with given expectation values of a set of observables, sets of multipartite quantum states with given marginals, sets of quantum measurements, channels and multitime quantum processes, as well as sets of higher-order quantum maps and quantum causal structures. This contribution provides a characterization of the extreme points of general spectrahedra, and bounds on the ranks of the corresponding operators. The general results are applied to several special cases, and then used to retrieve classic results such as Choi's characterization of the extreme quantum channels, Parthasarathy's characterization of the extreme quantum states with given marginals and the quantum version of Birkhoff's theorem for qubit unital channels. Finally, we propose a notion of positive operator valued measures (POVMs) with general affine constraints for their normalization, and we characterize the extremal POVMs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the case of a quantum-classical hybrid system with a finite number of degrees of freedom, the problem of characterizing the most general dynamical semigroup is solved, under the restriction of being quasi-free. This is a generalization of a Gaussian dynamics, and it is defined by the property of sending (hybrid) Weyl operators into Weyl operators in the Heisenberg description. The result is a quantum generalization of the Lévy–Khintchine formula; Gaussian and jump contributions are included. As a byproduct, the most general quasi-free quantum-dynamical semigroup is obtained; on the classical side the Liouville equation and the Kolmogorov–Fokker–Planck equation are included. As a classical subsystem can be observed, in principle, without perturbing it, information can be extracted from the quantum system, even in continuous time; indeed, the whole construction is related to the theory of quantum measurements in continuous time. While the dynamics is formulated to give the hybrid state at a generic time t , we show how to extract multi-time probabilities and how to connect them to the quantum notions of positive operator-valued measure and instrument. The structure of the generator of the dynamical semigroup is analyzed, in order to understand how to go on to non-quasi-free cases and to understand the possible classical-quantum interactions; in particular, all the interaction terms which allow to extract information from the quantum system necessarily vanish if no dissipation is present in the dynamics of the quantum component. A concrete example is given, showing how a classical component can input noise into a quantum one and how the classical system can extract information on the behavior of the quantum one.

Stefan–Boltzmann law, stating the fourth power temperature dependence of the radiation emission by a black-body, was empirically formulated by Stefan in 1874 by fitting existing experiments and theoretically validated by Boltzmann in 1884 on the basis of a classical physical model involving thermodynamics principles and the radiation pressure predicted by Maxwell equations. At first sight the electromagnetic (EM) gas assumed by Boltzmann and following Rayleigh (1900) identifiable as an ensemble of N classical normal-modes, looks like an extension of the classical model of the massive ideal-gas. Accordingly, for this EM gas the internal total energy, U, was assumed to be function of volume V and temperature T as U = U (V , T) , and the equation of state was given by U = 3 P V , with P the radiation pressure. In addition, Boltzmann implicitly assumed that, for given values of V and T, U and the number of modes N would take finite values. However, from one hand these assumptions are not justified by Maxwell equations and classical statistics since, in vacuum (i.e., far from the EM sources), the values of N and U diverge, the so-called ultraviolet catastrophe introduced by Ehrenfest in 1911. From another hand, Boltzmann derivation of Stefan law is found to be macroscopically compatible with its derivation from quantum statistics announced by Planck in 1901. In this paper, we present a justification of this puzzling classical/quantum compatibility by noticing that the implicit assumptions made by Boltzmann is fully justified by Planck quantum statistics. Furthermore, we shed new light on the interpretation of recent classical simulations of a black body carried out by Wang, Casati, and Benenti in 2022 who found an analogous puzzling consistency between Stefan–Boltzmann law and their simulations to induce speculations on classical physics and black body radiation that are claimed to require a critical reconsideration of the role of classical physics for the understanding of quantum mechanics.

In this paper, the spin wave theory is applied to the Heisenberg spin bilayer with intralayer ferromagnetic interaction J 1 , intralayer single-ion anisotropy D and interlayer antiferromagnetic interaction J 2 . It is found that the effects of both D and J 2 on the thermodynamic quantities give rise to the two different low-temperature asymptotic behaviors with and without exponential law. For D > 0 , the interlayer antiferromagnetic interaction can induce the appearance of the maximum of the layer magnetization at finite temperatures. At the location of the layer magnetization maximum, the approximate behaviors (such as the power, linear, rational, exponential and logarithmic laws) which are driven by the temperature or the anisotropy, are obtained for the low-temperature thermodynamic properties. It is shown that the presence of antiferromagnetic interlayer interaction J 2 clearly induces more quantum fluctuations than the case where the interlayer interaction J 2 is ferromagnetic. Our results of the layer magnetization agree with the experimental data of the layered van der Waals crystal FeCl2 at low temperatures. In the monolayer case of J 2 = 0 , our results are in agreement with the findings obtained by the existing theories and the quantum Monte Carlo data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CONSCIOUSNESS , *QUANTUM measurement , *QUANTUM theory , *QUANTUM states , *FREE will & determinism - Abstract
The evolution of the human mind through natural selection mandates that our conscious experiences are causally potent in order to leave a tangible impact on the surrounding physical world. Any attempt to construct a functional theory of the conscious mind within the framework of classical physics, however, inevitably leads to causally impotent conscious experiences in direct contradiction to evolution theory. Here, we derive several rigorous theorems that identify the origin of the latter impasse in the mathematical properties of ordinary differential equations employed in combination with the alleged functional production of the mind by the brain. Then, we demonstrate that a mind–brain theory consistent with causally potent conscious experiences is provided by modern quantum physics, in which the unobservable conscious mind is reductively identified with the quantum state of the brain and the observable brain is constructed by the physical measurement of quantum brain observables. The resulting quantum stochastic dynamics obtained from sequential quantum measurements of the brain is governed by stochastic differential equations, which permit genuine free will exercised through sequential conscious choices of future courses of action. Thus, quantum reductionism provides a solid theoretical foundation for the causal potency of consciousness, free will and cultural transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

QUANTUM mechanics , *QUANTUM theory - Abstract
Classical and quantum mechanical descriptions of motion are fundamentally different. The Universality of Free Fall (UFF) is a distinguishing feature of the classical motion (which has been verified with astonishing precision), while quantum theory tell us only about probabilities and uncertainties thus breaking the UFF. There are strong reasons to believe that the classical description must emerge, under plausible hypothesis, from quantum mechanics. In this paper, we show that the UFF is an emergent phenomenon: the coarse-grained quantum distribution for high-energy levels leads to the classical distribution as the lowest order plus quantum corrections. We estimate the size of these corrections on the Eötvös parameter and discuss the physical implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HUBBLE constant , *QUANTUM theory , *GENERAL relativity (Physics) , *EQUATIONS of state , *GRAVITY , *DARK energy - Abstract
Inspired by high-energy physics and by considering standard gravity theory as the low-energy limit of quantum theory, the modification of general relativity as R + f (G) has been proposed. This paper is dedicated to investigating the cosmological model of modified Gauss–Bonnet gravity in four dimensions. General field equations for the four-dimensional Friedmann– Robertson–Walker metric are given in detail. Also, it is well known that Hubble parameter H (z) measurements are helpful for the inference of cosmological model parameters. We try to explain the MCMC statistical approach used to calculate Hubble's parameter. The resulting form of H (z) was limited using Cosmic Chronometric data, Standard Candles SN Ia from Pantheon, and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations to obtain the best match values by using the regression equation. Finally, to examine the late-time dynamics of our Universe, the behavior of physical and kinematic variables like the deceleration parameter (q) , State-finder parameters { r , s } , diagnostic parameter ( O m (z)), equation of state parameter as well as the behavior of energy conditions versus redshift with the parameter values are presented.

VIRIAL theorem , *QUANTUM theory , *DARK matter , *QUANTUM mechanics , *RELATIVITY - Abstract
The virial theorem is established in the framework of resolution-scale relativity for stochastic dynamics characterized by a diffusion constant . It only relies on a simple time average just like the classical virial theorem, while the quantum mechanical virial theorem involves the expectation values of the observables. Nevertheless, by the emergence of a quantum-like potential term, the resolution-scale relativity virial theorem also encompasses quantum mechanical dynamics under the identification ℏ ↔ 2 m . This provides an illustration of the resolution-scale relativistic approach to the foundation of standard quantum mechanics. Furthermore, it is pointed out that if the resolution-scale relativity principle is implemented in macroscopic systems that are complex and/or chaotic, then the application of the classical virial theorem in the analysis of the dynamics of astrophysical systems neglects the contribution from a resolution-scale relativistic quantum-like potential. It is shown that this quantum-like potential could account for some fraction of the dark matter hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The unstable time fractional Schrödinger model (UTFSM) is studied through the development of disturbances in marginally stable or unstable media. A modified Sardar-sub equation technique (MSSE) for a conformable fractional-order nonlinear evolution model is presented in this paper. The objective here is to construct new wave solutions for UTFSM. These solutions have particular relevance in quantum physics and assume several forms such as rational, exponential, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, as well as combo solutions. This technique produces various shapes of dark, kink-type solitons and periodic solitary waves by setting proper parametric values. These discrete physical frameworks contribute to an understanding from analysis of unstable dynamical models. Additionally, we investigate modulation instability and stability analysis to ensure that obtained solutions are highly stable. The multiplicity of waves and solutions emphasizes how this technique can be used for different nonlinear fractional models in quantum physics and other areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from the notion of algebraic hidden processes introduced in Ref.9, we propose a definition of quantum hidden Markov process which extends the notion of quantum Markov chain (QMC) in the same sense in which classical hidden Markov processes (HMPs) extend classical Markov chains. We give several structure theorems for this new family of quantum states which shares with the QMCs the unique property that the finite dimensional joint expectations are explicitly given without these states being linearly equivalent to product states (as the Gaussian ones). The special feature of this new class of quantum states is best exemplified by looking at their restrictions to diagonal sub-algebras: we prove that they lead to a new family of classical stochastic processes that generalize in a non-trivial way the classical HMPs.

It is known that the Frenet–Serret apparatus of a space curve in three-dimensional Euclidean space determines the local geometry of curves. In particular, the Frenet–Serret apparatus specifies important geometric invariants, including the curvature and the torsion of a curve. It is also acknowledged in quantum information science that low complexity and high efficiency are essential features to achieve when cleverly manipulating quantum states that encode quantum information about a physical system. In this paper, we propose a geometric perspective on how to quantify the bending and the twisting of quantum curves traced by dynamically evolving state vectors. Specifically, we propose a quantum version of the Frenet–Serret apparatus for a quantum trajectory in projective Hilbert space traced by a parallel-transported pure quantum state evolving unitarily under a stationary Hamiltonian specifying the Schrödinger equation. Our proposed constant curvature coefficient is given by the magnitude squared of the covariant derivative of the tangent vector | T 〉 to the state vector | Ψ 〉 and represents a useful measure of the bending of the quantum curve. Our proposed constant torsion coefficient, instead, is defined in terms of the magnitude squared of the projection of the covariant derivative of the tangent vector | T 〉 , orthogonal to both | T 〉 and | Ψ 〉. The torsion coefficient provides a convenient measure of the twisting of the quantum curve. Remarkably, we show that our proposed curvature and torsion coefficients coincide with those existing in the literature, although introduced in a completely different manner. Interestingly, not only we establish that zero curvature corresponds to unit geodesic efficiency during the quantum transportation in projective Hilbert space, but we also find that the concepts of curvature and torsion help enlighten the statistical structure of quantum theory. Indeed, while the former concept can be essentially defined in terms of the concept of kurtosis, the positivity of the latter can be regarded as a restatement of the well-known Pearson inequality that involves both the concepts of kurtosis and skewness in mathematical statistics. Finally, not only do we present illustrative examples with nonzero curvature for single-qubit time-independent Hamiltonian evolutions for which it is impossible to generate torsion, but we also discuss physical applications extended to two-qubit stationary Hamiltonians that generate curves with both nonzero curvature and nonvanishing torsion traced by quantum states with different degrees of entanglement, ranging from separable states to maximally entangled Bell states. In the Appendix C, we examine the different curvature and torsion characteristics of the three qubit | GHZ 〉 and | W 〉 states under evolution by a quantum Heisenberg Hamiltonian.

In this paper, we will analyze a quantum deformation of cubic string field theory. This will be done by first constructing a quantum deformation of string theory, in a covariant gauge, and then using the quantum deformed stringy theory to construct a quantum deformation of string field theory. This quantum-deformed string field will then be used to contract a quantum-deformed version of cubic string field theory. We will explicitly demonstrate that the axioms of cubic string field theory hold even after quantum deformation. Finally, we will analyze the effect of the quantum deformation of string field theory on the string vertices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Projective quantum measurement is a theoretically accepted process in modern quantum mechanics. However, its projection hypothesis is widely regarded as an experimentally established empirical law. In this paper, we combine a previous result regarding the realization of a Hamiltonian process of the projection hypothesis in projective quantum measurement, where the complete set of the orbital observables of the center of mass of a macroscopic quantum mechanical system is restricted to a set of mutually commuting classical observables, and a previous result regarding the work required for an event reading (i.e. the informatical process in projective quantum measurement). Then, a quantum thermodynamic scheme is proposed for experimentally testing these two mutually independent theoretical results of projective quantum measurement simultaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Quantum orthogonal arrays are combinatorial designs with a remarkable class of genuinely multipartite highly entangled states. In this paper, we propose the method for constructing maximally multi-qubit entangled state through phase parameters of orthogonal arrays. Using this method, we not only determine that maximally n-qubit entangled state, but also find the n − 1 orthogonal array that gives maximally n − 1 entangled states. Such states play an important role in quantum theory with a high degree of multipartite entanglement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A continuous bundle of C ∗ -algebras provides a rigorous framework to study the thermodynamic limit of quantum theories. If the bundle admits the additional structure of a strict deformation quantization (in the sense of Rieffel) one is allowed to study the classical limit of the quantum system, i.e. a mathematical formalism that examines the convergence of algebraic quantum states to probability measures on phase space (typically a Poisson or symplectic manifold). In this manner, we first prove the existence of the classical limit of Gibbs states illustrated with a class of Schrödinger operators in the regime where Planck's constant ℏ appearing in front of the Laplacian approaches zero. We additionally show that the ensuing limit corresponds to the unique probability measure satisfying the so-called classical or static KMS-condition. Subsequently, we conduct a similar study on the free energy of mean-field quantum spin systems in the regime of large particles, and discuss the existence of the classical limit of the relevant Gibbs states. Finally, a short section is devoted to single site quantum spin systems in the large spin limit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

QUANTUM coherence , *QUANTUM theory , *QUANTUM correlations , *FISHER information , *ATOMS - Abstract
This paper delves into the exploration of quantum resources within a two-qubit system composed of two 2-level atoms connected to distinct thermal baths. Various quantifiers are employed to evaluate different aspects of the system's quantum characteristics. Specifically, the ℓ 1 -norm and relative entropy of coherence ( ℓ 1 and r ) are utilized to gauge quantum coherence, while local quantum Fisher information (LQFI) is used to quantify non-classical correlations within the system. The findings suggest that the amount of quantum correlations and coherence decline as the spontaneous emission rate γ t and the mean thermal photon number n increase. However, it is observed that manipulating parameters defining the initial state of the two-level atoms system can enhance non-classical correlations and quantum coherence between the two atoms. Additionally, it is noted that these three key metrics entirely vanish in the asymptotic limit of time. Our research underscores the importance of precisely adjusting the parameters of the initial system state, which is prepared in an extended Werner-like state (EWL), to protect quantum resources shared between the two atoms from environmental influences.

PULSARS , *GRAVITATIONAL waves , *NEUTRON stars , *PHASE transitions , *QUANTUM theory , *ATOMIC clocks - Abstract
It is believed that cores of neutron stars provide a natural laboratory where exotic high baryon density phases of quantum chromo dynamics (QCD) may exist. In fact, the theoretically well-established neutron superfluid phase is also believed to be found only inside neutron stars. Focus on neutrons stars has tremendously intensified in recent years with the direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) by LIGO/Virgo from binary neutron star (BNS) merger events which has allowed the possibility of directly probing the properties of the interior of a neutron star. A truly remarkable phenomenon manifested by rapidly rotating neutron stars is in their avatar as Pulsars. The accuracy of pulsar timing can reach the level of one part in 10 1 5 , comparable to that of atomic clocks. Indeed, it was such a great accuracy which had allowed the first indirect detection of GWs from a BNS system. Such an incredible accuracy of pulse timings points to a very interesting possibility. Any deformation of the pulsar, even if it is extremely tiny, has the potential of leaving its imprints on the pulses through introduction of tiny perturbations in the entire moment of inertia (MI) tensor. While, the diagonal components of perturbed MI tensor affect the pulse timings, the off-diagonal components lead to wobbling of pulsar, directly affecting the pulse profile. This opens up a new window of opportunity for exploring various phase transitions occurring inside a pulsar core, through induced density fluctuations, which may be observable as perturbations in the pulse timing as well as its profile. Such perturbations also naturally induce a rapidly changing quadrupole moment of the star, thereby providing a new source of GW emission. Another remarkable possibility arises when we consider the effect of an external GW on neutron star. With the possibility of detecting any minute changes in its configuration through pulse observations, the neutron star has the potential of performing as a Weber detector of GW. This brief review will focus on these specific aspects of a pulsar. Specifically, the focus will be on the type of physics which can be probed by utilizing the effect of changes in the MI tensor of the pulsar on pulse properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BELL'S theorem , *WAVE-particle duality , *QUANTUM correlations , *QUANTUM theory , *THOUGHT experiments - Abstract
Entanglement exhibits a unique property of quantum theory that is unseen in classical counterparts. The experimental confirmation of Bell's inequalities has surprised many people and revived interest and debate regarding the exact nature of quantum theory, including the wave-particle duality. On the other hand, rapid advancements in computing technology in recent years have provided a new tool for investigating the nature of quantum theory. In this paper, numerical simulation is used to visualize the nonlocality implied in quantum entanglement. In particular, a Gedanken experiment of a discrete approximation of a continuous quantum space is provided, similar to the case of the dual nature of particle/wave in the double-slit experiment. The results are expected to provide a different angle for a deeper understanding of the mysterious nature of quantum correlations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the quantum coherence theory, we employ the l 1 -norm measure to explore the steady-state coherence (SSC) in the spin-boson model. In this model, the environment is a non-Markovian bosonic bath with Ohmic-like spectral density. More generally, the interaction coupling between the qubit and the environment is a linear superposition of pure dephasing and pure damping coupling. Governed by the non-Markovian dynamics, some compact expressions of the SSC have been obtained at both zero temperature and high temperature. It shows that the hybrid coupling significantly affects the SSC. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis has been conducted to investigate the effects of various crucial factors, including the temperature of the bosonic bath, the qubit's tunneling and the Ohmicity parameter. This analysis provides an effective approach for maintaining a relatively high SSC by manipulating system parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Combining quantum theory with the fundamental principles of gravity results in the modification of the uncertainty principle. In this study, we employ the extended uncertainty principle (EUP) with the maximum length derived from the cosmological particle horizon. The impact of this specific kind of modification is examined in a non-interacting electron gas system. We analytically derive the generalized relations for the degeneracy pressure and the bulk modulus. An intriguing finding is that the degeneracy pressure is reduced, as confirmed by the observed size of white dwarfs, which is smaller than what is predicted by the standard theory. Nevertheless, it is still capable of providing support against gravitational collapse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, we investigate the quantum dynamics of non-relativistic systems in a Born–Infeld spacetime. We analyze some general scenarios, which concerns the effects of a harmonic oscillator and an inverse square-type potential as well as an Aharonov–Bohm geometric phase. We obtain an analytical solution for the most general case in terms of a confluent Heun function and define the energy spectrum by referring to the ground state, together with its respective eigenfunction. A graphical representation was built so that it was possible to visualize some of the possible energy configurations. For negative values of the Born–Infeld parameter < 0 , we perform a connection with results of quantum dynamics already investigated in the literature for the Ellis–Bronnikov spacetime.

Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paradox highlights the absence of a local realistic explanation for quantum mechanics, and shows the incompatibility of the local-hidden-state models with quantum theory. For N-qubit states, or more importantly, the N-qubit mixed states, we present the EPR steering paradox in the form of the contradictory equality " 2 = 1 ". We show that the contradiction holds for any N-qubit state as long as both "the pure state requirement" and "the measurement requirement" are satisfied. This also indicates that the EPR steering paradox exists in more general cases. Finally, we give specific examples to demonstrate and analyze our arguments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive exploration of the relativistic quantum dynamics of spin-0 scalar particles, as described by the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) equation, within the framework of a magnetic space-time. Our focus is on the Bonnor–Melvin–Lambda (BML) solution, a four-dimensional magnetic universe characterized by a magnetic field that varies with axial distance. To initiate this investigation, we derive the radial equation using a suitable wave function ansatz and subsequently employ special functions to solve it. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to include Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau oscillator fields within the same BML space-time background. We derive the corresponding radial equation and solve it using special functions. Significantly, our results show that the geometry's topology and the cosmological constant (both are related to the magnetic field strength) influence the eigenvalue solution of spin-0 DKP fields and DKP-oscillator fields, leading to substantial modifications in the overall outcomes.

Magic as an essential resource in fault-tolerant quantum computation may shed insight into quantum information processing of open quantum system. In this work, we study the dynamics of magic for atom system immersed in non-Markovian reservoir. It is found that magic decay process can be delayed and adjusted by the strength of classical driving field and non-Markovian memory effect. In addition, it is shown that the magic state is less susceptible to decay the process of system-environment coupling than stabilizer state, and for two atoms coupling to two independent reservoirs, magic can be generated. The results may be beneficial for theory and experiment of quantum computation and information in open quantum system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

GAUGE invariance , *COSMOLOGICAL constant , *QUANTUM field theory , *ERROR analysis in mathematics , *QUANTUM theory - Abstract
The holographic principle and its realization as the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence leads to the existence of the so-called precursor operators. These are boundary operators that carry nonlocal information regarding events occurring deep inside the bulk and which cannot be causally connected to the boundary. Such nonlocal operators can distinguish nonvacuum-like excitations within the bulk that cannot be observed by any local gauge invariant operators in the boundary. The boundary precursors are expected to become increasingly nonlocal the further the bulk process is from the boundary. Such phenomena are expected to be related to the extended nature of the strings. Standard gauge invariance in the boundary theory equates to quantum error correction which furthermore establishes localization of bulk information. I show that when double field theory quantum error correction prescriptions are considered in the bulk, gauge invariance in the boundary manifests residual effects associated to stringy winding modes. Also, an effect of double field theory quantum error correction is the appearance of positive cosmological constant. The emergence of space–time from the entanglement structure of a dual quantum field theory appears in this context to generalize for de Sitter space–times as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We derive a quantum Langevin equation for a quantum spin in the presence of a magnetic field and coupled to a bath. We have considered two models for the bath: an Ohmic bath model and a non-Markovian Drude bath model with finite memory. The effect of finite memory on the dynamics of the quantum spin is studied in detail. In particular, we have studied the effect of memory on the expectation values of the magnetic moment and the spin correlation functions. The time evolution study of the spin correlation functions shows that the correlation functions exhibit a damped oscillatory behavior with the randomization time being determined by the damping rate. We have analytically shown that the damping gets affected by the finite memory time when the bath retains memory of the interaction with the system. We also analyze the spin response function of the system for the Ohmic bath. Our results qualitatively agree with the findings in spin noise spectroscopy experiments and our predictions can be tested in future ultracold atom experiments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Physical quantities, such as entropy, dimensions and multifractal characteristics of multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced in 1 9 7 Au–AgBr collisions, are examined and the findings are compared with the predictions of Monte Carlo model Ultra-Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (URQMD) and Heavy Ion Jet INteraction Generator (HIJING) and also with the results reported earlier in hadron–hadron and nucleus–nucleus collisions at different energies. Based on their azimuth distribution, the charged particles produced within narrow-bins exhibit two kinds of substructures, namely, ring-like and jet-like substructures. Thus, on applying the suitable criteria, the two different types of events are identified and analyzed separately. It is observed that the maximum entropy production occurs around a narrow mid-rapidity region. The analyses of ring-like and jet-like events suggest that the entropy production is much larger in ring-like events as compared to that in jet-like events. Furthermore, Rényi's order-q information entropy is used to estimate the multifractal specific heat and to construct the spectrum of scaling indices. The findings reveal that the value of multifractal specific heat is higher in ring-like events as compared to that in jet-like events. The studies of generalized dimension and multifractal spectrum indicate that the multifractality is rather, more pronounced in ring-like events as compared to jet-like events. Various features of the experimental data are noticed to be nicely reproduced by the URQMD model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today, the original Michelson–Morley experiment and its early repetitions at the beginning of the 20th century are considered as a venerable historical chapter for which, at least from a physical point of view, there is nothing more to refine or clarify. The emphasis is now on the modern versions of these experiments, with lasers stabilized by optical cavities, that, apparently, have improved by many orders of magnitude on the limits placed by those original measurements. Though, in those old experiments light was propagating in gaseous systems (air or helium at atmospheric pressure) while now, in modern experiments, light propagates in a high vacuum or inside solid dielectrics. Therefore, in principle, the difference might not depend on the technological progress only but also on the different media that are tested by preventing a straightforward comparison. Starting from this observation, one can formulate a new theoretical scheme where the tiny, irregular residuals observed so far, from Michelson–Morley to the present experiments with optical resonators, point consistently toward the long sought preferred reference frame tight to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The existence of this scheme, while challenging the traditional 'null interpretation', presented in all textbooks and specialized reviews as a self-evident scientific truth, further emphasizes the central role of these experiments for Relativity, Cosmology and Quantum Physics.

In this work, we study quantum teleportation, a fundamental protocol of quantum physics. In particular, we present a mathematical methodology to study the combined effects of noisy resource state and noisy classical communication on teleportation fidelity and its deviation. We describe a teleportation protocol where an arbitrary two-qubit state in canonical form is used as a resource. Thereafter, to teleport an unknown qubit, Alice measures her qubits in Bell basis and conveys the measurement outcome to Bob via noisy classical channel(s). We derive the exact formulae of optimal teleportation fidelity and corresponding fidelity deviation where the resource state and the classical communication, both can be noisy. To provide the proof of optimality, we provide a systematic method. We further find conditions for non-classical fidelity and dispersion-free teleportation for our teleportation protocol. In this way, we identify noisy environments where it is possible to achieve dispersion-free teleportation without compromising non-classical fidelity. We also demonstrate scenarios where the increase of entanglement in the resource state, may degrade the quality of teleportation — a counter-intuitive instance. Finally, we discuss about the minimum classical communication cost required to achieve non-classical fidelity for our protocol. Here we mainly focus on a possible way to optimize the classical communication cost. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research work, the relativistic quantum dynamics of oscillator field in wormhole background with a topological defect produced by a cosmic string is investigated. We consider an example of Morris–Thorne-type wormhole including a osmic string and derived the wave equation of the relativistic quantum oscillator. Through the Heun equation, we solve analytically the radial equation and obtain the ground state energy level E 1 , m and the radial wave function ψ 1 , m as particular cases. In fact, it is shown that the eigenvalue solution of the oscillator field is influenced by the topological defect of cosmic string and shifted the result. Furthermore, the wormhole throat radius also modifies the energy levels and the wave function of the relativistic quantum oscillator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Rayleigh–Schrodinger method or more commonly called time independent perturbation theory is a powerful method to solve a Hamiltonian system with a relatively small perturbation [W. Nolting, Theoretical Physics 7: Quantum Mechanics–Methods and Applications (Springer International, 2017); F. Schwabl, Quantum Mechanics, 4th edn. (Springer, 2007)]. In this work, we make use of the Rayleigh–Schrodinger method to formulate a general method to calculate quasibound states of static spherically symmetric black hole solutions arising from modified theories of gravity. We discover that the Schwarzschild-like term corresponds to the main Hamiltonian while the modified theory of gravity's contribution of the spacetime metric corresponds to the perturbation terms. At the end, formula to calculate main Hamiltonian and perturbed Hamiltonian are discovered and presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In search of a way to securely transfer information, the scientific world uses entanglement with several qubits. However, the experimental feasibility of implementing communication protocols remains unclear. In this work, we indicate a one-to-one correspondence between a quantum dialogue and the quantum Stackelberg duopoly game. If we consider a controller-dependent communication protocol to be a sequential quantum game, the two players, Alice and Bob, can be compared to two firms, A and B. Moreover, the controller Charlie can be assumed to be the arbiter. First mover advantage is a significant feature of the Stackelberg duopoly game, which is explained and proved in the protocol. Further, we propose a controller-independent bidirectional quantum dialogue using four-qubit maximally entangled states. The efficiency of the protocol is determined to be 50%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (AdS) Black Hole (BH) space–times are of theoretical and mathematical interest and attractive. On the other hand, in the last few decades, the theory of regular (nonsingular) BHs has gained many researchers and enthusiasts. Therefore, space–times asymptotically AdS and free of (essential) singularities can have a double attraction. An example of such space–time is the Regular Gaussian Black Hole (RGBH). In this paper, some thermodynamical properties of this BH are studied and examined through the calculation of thermodynamic functions and related diagrams. The results of the calculations and related diagrams indicate that a background AdS space–time is more compliant with the laws of the physical world than a de Sitter (dS) one. Finally, with a brief discussion about Geometrothermodynamics, it is clear that the space–time structure of RGBH supports the fundamental relationship between gravity, thermodynamics and quantum theory.

Vacuum spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity in the midi-superspace approximation using inhomogeneous horizon-penetrating slices has been studied for a decade, and it has been noted that the singularity is eliminated. It is replaced by a region of high curvature and potentially large quantum fluctuations. It was recently pointed out that the effective semiclassical metric implies the existence of a shell of matter which violates energy conditions in regions where the curvature is largest. Here, we propose an alternative way of treating the problem that is free from the shells. The ambiguity in the treatment is related with the existence of new observables in the quantum theory that characterize the area excitations, and how the counterpart of diffeomorphisms in the discrete quantum theory is mapped to the continuum semiclassical picture. The resulting spacetime in the high curvature region inside the horizon is approximated by a metric of the type of the Simpson–Visser wormhole and it connects the black hole interior to a white hole in a smooth manner.

Quantum physics, with its divergence from conventional human conceptual frameworks, presents an intriguing challenge in comprehension and application. This enigmatic field appears incongruent with everyday experiences and resists interpretation through even the most rigorous mathematical formulations. Yet, the impending advent of commercial quantum computing, anticipated within the next decade, offers a unique perspective for understanding these complexities. Drawing from historical instances where the emergence of novel technologies catalysed the evolution of elucidating metaphors, this paper postulates the synchronous rise of quantum computing with the development of metaphors to explicate quantum effects. These metaphors hold significant potential to illuminate poorly understood areas of organisational behaviour, offering new lenses to view, interpret and analyse such phenomena. Three case studies, namely the agile transformation of ING Bank, the seminal Hawthorne experiments and two large-scale training programs implemented by Starbucks, are deployed to substantiate the proposed use of quantum metaphors as supplementary interpretative tools. The emergence of this new metaphorical language, intrinsically tied to the unfolding of quantum computing technology, may herald the advent of novel research methodologies and paradigms. This exploratory study serves as a precursor to further research in organisational studies through the lens of quantum metaphors, opening doors to a more profound understanding of complex organisational phenomena.

Quantum computing promises to have a tremendous advantage over its classical counterpart for solving computationally hard problems, yet remains in a relatively early stage for practical applications owing to the limited capabilities of today's quantum computers. The approach to the special purposes of quantum computers by exploiting the special-purpose physics-inspired or quantum-inspired computers is emerging as a novel alternative to its quantum counterpart in tackling hard problems in high-performance computing. Inspired by physics, the Ising machine — a type of special-purpose computer that implements or emulates physics or quantum effects of the Ising model to speed up finding solutions to optimization problems — has recently become an active research area in the field of combinatorial optimization. This paper is to address the key enabling software and hardware technology underlying physics-inspired optimization using Ising machines in the unified quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) framework for modeling and solving computationally hard combinatorial optimization problems, and with an aim to shed some light on the challenges and opportunities associated with the ever-growing landscape of this novel high-performance computing.
