It is generally assumed that quantum field theory (QFT) is gauge invariant. However it is well known that non-gauge invariant terms appear in various calculations. This problem was examined in Refs. [3] and [4] and it was shown that at the…

We clarify the relationship between the conclusions of the previous Comment of A. Helfer [1] and that of our Brief Report [arXiv:0906.5315]

Although quantum mechanics is a mature theory, fundamental problems discussed during its time of foundation have remained with us to this day. These problems are centered on the problematic relation between the quantum and classical worlds.…

In this paper, we consider the preparation of Schr\"odinger cat states using a measurement-assisted gate based on the Fock resource state, the quantum non-demolition (QND) entangling operation, and the homodyne measurement. Previously we…

We provide our reply to the comment by Greiter and Schuricht (cond-mat/0511607).

In this communication we refute a criticism concerning results of our work [3] that was presented in references [1] and [2].

In the abstract of [1] we read: "We obtain so far unproved properties of a ratio involving a classof Hermite and parabolic cylinder functions." However, we explain how some of the main results in that paper were already proved in [2],…

We know that the original Schr\"odinger cat states has no amplitude-squared squeezing. In this paper, we investigate the amplitude-squared squeezing of Schr\"odinger cat states using postselected von Neumann measurement. The results show…

Conventional wisdom suggests that within a fixed preparation-measurement setup, a qubit system offers no advantage over a bit. This indeed holds true when considering the standard communication and the famous Holevo bound then formalizes…

Context. Random seed selection in deep learning is often arbitrary -- conventionally fixed to values such as 42, a number with no known feline endorsement. Aims. We propose that cats, as liminal beings with a historically ambiguous…

We review various inequalities on the order and the spacing of energy levels, wave function at the origin, etc... which were obtained since 1977 in the framework of the Schrodinger equation and applied to quarkonium and also to muonic atoms…

It is shown that a classical experiment using an ordinary cat can reproduce the same results and it is argued that the quantum nature of the phenomenon could be revealed instead by making an experiment that detects cross-moments.

Consistent with the predictions of Kibble and Zurek, scaling behaviour has been seen in the production of fluxoids during temperature quenches of superconducting rings. However, deviations from the canonical behaviour arise because of…

Comment on the Letter by M. Franz and Z. Tesanovic, Phys. Rev. Lett. v.87, p.257003 (2001).

The scalable application of quantum information science will stand on reproducible and controllable high-coherence quantum bits (qubits). Here, we revisit the design and fabrication of the superconducting flux qubit, achieving a planar…

It is known that in $\mathbb{R}^n,n\geq 2$, a compact set which contains $n-1$ spheres with all radii in $[1/2,1]$ or with all possible centres in $[0,1]^n$ has full Hausdorff dimension. In fact the later set has positive Lebesgue measure.…

We consider quantum superposition states in Bose-Einstein condensates. A decoherence rate for the Schr\"odinger cat is calculated and shown to be a significant threat to this macroscopic quantum superposition of BEC's. An experimental…

This is a sequel to the paper "Large time asymptotics for a cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger system in one space dimension" by the same authors. We continue to study the Cauchy problem for the two-component system of cubic nonlinear…
