Measuring Which-Path Information With Coupled Electronic Mach-Zehnder Interferometers, Justin Dressel, Y. Choi, Andrew N. Jordan
Measuring Which-Path Information With Coupled Electronic Mach-Zehnder Interferometers, Justin Dressel, Y. Choi, Andrew N. Jordan
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We theoretically investigate a generalized “which-path” measurement on an electronic Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) implemented via Coulomb coupling to a second electronic MZI acting as a detector. The use of contextual values, or generalized eigenvalues, enables the precise construction of which-path operator averages that are valid for any measurement strength from the available drain currents. The form of the contextual values provides direct physical insight about the measurement being performed, providing information about the correlation strength between system and detector, the measurement inefficiency, and the proper background removal. We find that the detector interferometer must display maximal wavelike behavior to optimally …
Majorana Modes In Time-Reversal Invariant S -Wave Topological Superconductors, Shusa Deng, Lorenza Viola, Gerardo Ortiz
Majorana Modes In Time-Reversal Invariant S -Wave Topological Superconductors, Shusa Deng, Lorenza Viola, Gerardo Ortiz
Dartmouth Scholarship
We present a time-reversal invariant s-wave superconductor supporting Majorana edge modes. The multiband character of the model together with spin-orbit coupling are key to realizing such a topological superconductor. We characterize the topological phase diagram by using a partial Chern number sum, and show that the latter is physically related to the parity of the fermion number of the time-reversal invariant modes. By taking the self-consistency constraint on the s-wave pairing gap into account, we also establish the possibility of a direct topological superconductor-to-topological insulator quantum phase transition.

Colloquium : Stimulating Uncertainty: Amplifying The Quantum Vacuum With Superconducting Circuits, P. D. Nation, J. R. Johansson, M. P. Blencowe, Franco Nori
Dartmouth Scholarship
The ability to generate particles from the quantum vacuum is one of the most profound consequences of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Although the significance of vacuum fluctuations can be seen throughout physics, the experimental realization of vacuum amplification effects has until now been limited to a few cases. Superconducting circuit devices, driven by the goal to achieve a viable quantum computer, have been used in the experimental demonstration of the dynamical Casimir effect, and may soon be able to realize the elusive verification of analog Hawking radiation. This Colloquium article describes several mechanisms for generating photons from the quantum vacuum and …

Analysis Of Entanglement And Logic Gate Implementation In Generic Two-Level Systems, Jonathan Jones
Analysis Of Entanglement And Logic Gate Implementation In Generic Two-Level Systems, Jonathan Jones
Undergraduate Honors Theses
An N-atom quantum system interacting with a single cavity field mode serves as an intuitive and useful model for many areas of quantum information science. We extend this model to describe artificial systems composed of quantum dots and Josephson junction devices as well. In addition, we include the dipole interactions characteristic of such systems. We use Bell-type inequalities and concurrence to examine the development of entanglement in the specific cases of two- and three-atom systems, and find that the effect of dipole interactions on entanglement generation depends heavily on the initial state of the system. Finally, we propose a …
Essentials Of The Theory Of Abstraction - Lecture, Subhajit Kumar Ganguly
Essentials Of The Theory Of Abstraction - Lecture, Subhajit Kumar Ganguly
Subhajit Kumar Ganguly
In not favouring solutions or sets of solutions, the principle of zero-postulation drives away any unwanted incompleteness from the description of the world. It is the interactions between the possible exhaustive set of solutions that creates the impression pointedness or directiveness in the universe, leading to the formation of clusters, as discussed earlier. These interactions may be chaotic in nature, giving rise to attractor points where the directiveness inside any given system asymptotically seem to approach. It is this directiveness, in turn, inside a given system or in the universe as a whole, that is the cause of all known …

The purpose of the present article is to demonstrate that by adopting a unifying differential geometric perspective on certain themes in physics one reaps remarkable new dividends in both microscopic and macroscopic domains. By replacing algebraic objects by tensor-transforming objects and introducing methods from the theory of differentiable manifolds at a very fundamental level we obtain a Kottler-Cartan metric-independent general invariance of the Maxwell field, which in turn makes for a global quantum superstructure for Gauss-Amp`ere and Aharonov-Bohm “quantum integrals.” Beyond this, our approach shows that postulating a Riemannian metric at the quantum level is an unnecessary concept and our …
Topspin Networks In Loop Quantum Gravity, Christopher L. Duston
Topspin Networks In Loop Quantum Gravity, Christopher L. Duston
Physics Faculty Publications
We discuss the extension of loop quantum gravity to topspin networks, a proposal which allows topological information to be encoded in spin networks. We will show that this requires minimal changes to the phase space, C*-algebra and Hilbert space of cylindrical functions. We will also discuss the area and Hamiltonian operators, and show how they depend on the topology. This extends the idea of 'background independence' in loop quantum gravity to include topology as well as geometry. It is hoped this work will confirm the usefulness of the topspin network formalism and open up several new avenues for research into …

"In the past couple of months, the quantum foundations world has been abuzz about a new preprint entitled "The Quantum State Cannot be Interpreted Statistically" by Matt Pusey, Jon Barrett and Terry Rudolph (henceforth known as PBR). Since I wrote a blog post explaining the result, I have been inundated with more correspondence from scientists and more requests for comment from science journalists than at any other point in my career. Reaction to the result amongst quantum researchers has been mixed, with many people reacting negatively to the title, which can be misinterpreted as an attack on the Born rule. …
Everything Is Entangled, Roman V. Buniy, Stephen D. H. Hsu
Everything Is Entangled, Roman V. Buniy, Stephen D. H. Hsu
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We show that big bang cosmology implies a high degree of entanglement of particles in the universe. In fact, a typical particle is entangled with many particles far outside our horizon. However, the entanglement is spread nearly uniformly so that two randomly chosen particles are unlikely to be directly entangled with each other - the reduced density matrix describing any pair is likely to be separable.
An Algebraic Classification Of Entangled States, Roman V. Buniy, Thomas W. Kephart
An Algebraic Classification Of Entangled States, Roman V. Buniy, Thomas W. Kephart
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
We provide a classification of entangled states that uses new discrete entanglement invariants. The invariants are defined by algebraic properties of linear maps associated with the states. We prove a theorem on a correspondence between the invariants and sets of equivalent classes of entangled states. The new method works for an arbitrary finite number of finite-dimensional state subspaces. As an application of the method, we considered a large selection of cases of three subspaces of various dimensions. We also obtain an entanglement classification of four qubits, where we find 27 fundamental sets of classes.

In this addendum to our paper (2010 New J. Phys. 12 033024), we point out that an elementary consequence of the strong subadditivity inequality allows us to strengthen one of the main conclusions of that paper.
Teleportation In General Probabilistic Theories, Howard Barnum, Jonathan Barrett, Matthew S. Leifer, Alex Wilce
Teleportation In General Probabilistic Theories, Howard Barnum, Jonathan Barrett, Matthew S. Leifer, Alex Wilce
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
In a previous paper, we showed that many important quantum information-theoretic phenomena, including the no-cloning and no-broadcasting theorems, are in fact generic in all non-classical probabilistic theories. An exception is teleportation, which most such theories do not support. In this paper, we investigate which probabilistic theories, and more particularly, which composite systems, do support a teleportation protocol. We isolate a natural class of composite systems that we term regular, and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a regular tripartite system to support a conclusive, or post-selected, teleportation protocol. We also establish a sufficient condition for deterministic teleportation that yields …
Response To Griffiths, Matthew S. Leifer
Response To Griffiths, Matthew S. Leifer
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
"First of all, I would like to thank Prof. Griffith for his comments. The exchange has reminded me of the series of letters that appeared in Physics Today following the publication of an article by Chandralekha Singh, Mario Belloni, and Wolfgang Christian on improving the teaching of undergraduate quantum mechanics (see http://ptonline.aip.org/ journals/doc/PHTOAD-ft/vol_60/iss_3/8_1.shtml). In those responses, both Griffiths and Travis Norsen argued that students’ understanding of quantum mechanics would be vastly improved if they were taught more about the foundations of quantum theory, and I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment. The thing is, Griffiths argued vociferously that this should be …

The First Direct Measurement Of The Weak Charge Of The Proton, John Poague Leckey Iv
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Qweak is an experiment currently running at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility that uses parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering to measure the weak charge of the proton QPweak . Longitudinally polarized electrons are scattered off a liquid hydrogen target and pass through a toroidal-field magnetic spectrometer. This experiment is a sensitive test for physics beyond the Standard Model, as QPweak is well predicted in the Standard Model. This dissertation describes the first direct measurement of QPweak . The precision that will be generated by the final 4% measurement will allow the probing of certain classes of new physics up to …

We report on the first measurement of the F2 structure function of the neutron from the semi-inclusive scattering of electrons from deuterium, with low-momentum protons detected in the backward hemisphere. Restricting the momentum of the spectator protons to ≲ 100 MeV/c and their angles to ≳ 100° relative to the momentum transfer allows an interpretation of the process in terms of scattering from nearly on-shell neutrons. The Fn2 data collected cover the nucleon-resonance and deep-inelastic regions over a wide range of Bjorken x for 0.65 < Q2 2, with uncertainties from nuclear corrections estimated to be less …
