In [1] we proved a strengthened Kochen-Specker theorem in 3 dimensions: non-contextual hidden variable (NCHV) models cannot reproduce all the quantum correlations of two compatible observables, which is a minimal requirement imposed on the…
With Bell's inequalities one has a formal expression to show how essentially all local theories of natural phenomena that are formulated within the framework of realism may be tested using a simple experimental arrangement. For the case of…
For the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in R 1+d , we prove the existence of multi-solitary waves made of any number N of decoupled bound states. This extends the work of C{\^o}te and Mu{\~n}oz (Forum Math. Sigma 2 (2014)) which was…
A new angular momentum projection for systems of particles with arbitrary spins is formulated based on the Heine-Stieltjes correspondence, which can be regarded as the solutions of the mean-field plus pairing model in the strong pairing…
In this Note, we present a Calder\'on-type uniqueness theorem on the Cauchy problem of stochastic partial differential equations. To this aim, we introduce the concept of stochastic pseudo-differential operators, and establish their…
The toy model used by Spekkens [R. Spekkens, Phys. Rev. A 75, 032110 (2007)] to argue in favor of an epistemic view of quantum mechanics is extended by generalizing his definition of pure states (i.e. states of maximal knowledge) and by…
This letter presents quantum mechanical inequalities which distinguish, for systems of $N$ spin-$\half$ particles ($N>2$), between fully entangled states and states in which at most $N-1$ particles are entangled. These inequalities are…
We show that the attempt to introduce all of the discrete space-time transformations into the spinor representation of the Lorentz group as wholly independent transformations (as in the vectorial representation) leads to an 8-component…
We introduce and formalize a notion of "a priori knowledge" about a quantum system, and show some properties about this form of knowledge. Finally, we show that the Kochen-Specker theorem follows directly from this study. This version is a…
A Kochen-Specker (KS) set is a specific set of projectors and measurement contexts that prove the Bell-Kochen-Specker contextuality theorem. The simplest known KS sets in Hilbert space dimensions $d=3,4,5,6,8$ are reproduced, and several…
Specker's principle, the condition that pairwise orthogonal propositions must be jointly orthogonal, has been much investigated recently within the programme of finding physical principles to characterise quantum mechanics. It largely…
Classical realism demands that system properties exist independently of whether they are measured, while noncontextuality demands that the results of measurements do not depend on what other measurements are performed in conjunction with…
We develop time-splitting finite difference methods, using implicit Backward-Euler and semi-implicit Crank-Nicolson discretization schemes, to study the spin-orbit coupled spinor Bose Einstein condensates with coherent coupling in quasi-one…
Generating high-quality multi-particle entanglement between communicating parties is the primary resource in quantum teleportation protocols. To this aim, we show that the natural dynamics of a single spin chain is able to sustain the…
This paper argues that several canonical puzzles in quantum mechanics, including spin measurement, the double slit, entanglement correlations, and Wigner's friend, share a common origin in a semantic error and the illicit promotion of…
The Local Friendliness argument is an extended Wigner's friend no-go theorem that provides strong constraints on the nature of reality -- stronger even than those imposed by Bell's theorem or by noncontextuality arguments. In this work, we…
In the first half we show an interesting relation between coherent states and the Bell states in the case of spin 1/2, which was suggested by Fivel. In the latter half we treat generalized coherent states and try to generalize this relation…
The structure of a complete lattice formed by closed linear subspaces of a Hilbert space (i.e., a Hilbert lattice) entails some unreasonable consequences from the physical point of view. Specifically, this structure seems to contradict to…
The Schur-Weyl states belong to a special class of states with a symmetry described by two Young and Weyl tableaux. Representation of physical systems in Hilbert space spanned on these states enables to extract quantum information hidden in…
(A) Bell's theorem rests on a conjunction of three assumptions: realism, locality and ``free will''. A discussion of these assumptions will be presented. It will be also shown that, if one adds to the assumptions the principle or rotational…
