Book Description
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the above conference, held to celebrate the 60th birthday of Yakir Aharonov. Two Nobel laureates (Norman Ramsey and Charles Townes), members of the National Academy of Sciences and Cresson Medal winners were among the speakers. Among the topics discussed are quantum reality, geometric phases and the Aharonov-Bohm effect, spin and statistics, black holes and quantum gravity. All of these are fundamental to our understanding of quantum theory and are related by being aspects of quantum theory on subjects that Yakir Aharonov has considered.

Quantum Gravity in a Laboratory?
Author: Nick Huggett
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009327550
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
The characteristic – Planck – energy scale of quantum gravity makes experimental access to the relevant physics apparently impossible. Nevertheless, low energy experiments linking gravity and the quantum have been undertaken: the Page and Geilker quantum Cavendish experiment, and the Colella-Overhauser-Werner neutron interferometry experiment, for instance. However, neither probes states in which gravity remains in a coherent quantum superposition, unlike – it is claimed – recent proposals. In essence, if two initially unentangled subsystems interacting solely via gravity become entangled, then theorems of quantum mechanics show that gravity cannot be a classical subsystem. There are formidable challenges to such an experiment, but remarkably, tabletop technology into the gravity of very small bodies has advanced to the point that such an experiment might be feasible in the near future. This Element explains the proposal and what it aims to show, highlighting the important ways in which its interpretation is theory-laden.

The Mathematics of Superoscillations
Author: Yakir Aharonov
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470423243
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
In the past 50 years, quantum physicists have discovered, and experimentally demonstrated, a phenomenon which they termed superoscillations. Aharonov and his collaborators showed that superoscillations naturally arise when dealing with weak values, a notion that provides a fundamentally different way to regard measurements in quantum physics. From a mathematical point of view, superoscillating functions are a superposition of small Fourier components with a bounded Fourier spectrum, which result, when appropriately summed, in a shift that can be arbitrarily large, and well outside the spectrum. The purpose of this work is twofold: on one hand the authors provide a self-contained survey of the existing literature, in order to offer a systematic mathematical approach to superoscillations; on the other hand, they obtain some new and unexpected results, by showing that superoscillating sequences can be seen of as solutions to a large class of convolution equations and can therefore be treated within the theory of analytically uniform spaces. In particular, the authors will also discuss the persistence of the superoscillatory behavior when superoscillating sequences are taken as initial values of the Schrödinger equation and other equations.

Quantum (Un)speakables
Author: R.A. Bertlmann
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540427568
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
This outstanding collection of essays in commemoration of John S. Bell is the result of the "Quantum (Un)speakables" conference organised by the University of Vienna. The title was taken from a famous note written by John Bell during the "Schrödinger Symposium" of 1987. The book leads the reader from the foundations of quantum mechanics to quantum entanglement, quantum cryptography, and quantum information, and is written for all those who need more insight into this new area of physics.

Quantum Coherence
Author: Jeeva S. Anandan
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company Incorporated
ISBN: 9789810202569
Category : Coherence (Optics)
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
The foundations of quantum mechanics has acquired tremendous importance in recent years for three reasons: First, a large number of experiments have tested concepts which previously were purely theoretical. Second, ideas from the foundations of quantum mechanics are being applied now to many fields such as condensed matter physics, quantum statistics, quantum cosmology and quantum gravity. Third, difficulties in constructing a quantum cosmology and theory of gravity have made many theorists examine the foundations of quantum theory to see if quantum mechanics itself needs to be modified. Very distinguished physicists from around the world gave talks on their recent research on a variety of theoretical and experimental aspects on these subjects at this conference
