Enhancing non-classicality in mechanical systems
We study the effects of post-selection measurements on both the non-classicality of the state of a mechanical oscillator and the entanglement between two mechanical systems that are part of a distributed optomechanical network. We address the cases of both Gaussian and nonGaussian measurements, identifying in which cases simple photon counting and Geiger-like measurements are effective in disti...
متن کاملDecoherence and the (non)emergence of classicality
We prove that, regardless of the Hamiltonian, decoherence of subsystems in a preferred “pointer” basis does not occur for generic quantum states. This shows that the widespread belief that decoherence explains the emergence of classicality is incorrect, and that the emergence of classicality is only to be expected for a very small set of states.
متن کاملClassicality in Quantum Mechanics
In this article we propose a solution to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. We point out that the measurement problem can be traced to an a priori notion of classicality in the formulation of quantum mechanics. If this notion of classicality is dropped and instead classicality is defined in purely quantum mechanical terms the measurement problem can be avoided. We give such a definit...
متن کاملNon-classicality and entanglement of symmetric multiqubit states
Quantum vs classical conceptions of nature continue to draw attention from the early days of quantum theory. Understanding decisive quantum features for which no classical explanation exist and their interrelations is of foundational significance. Further, identifying non-classical features is important in information processing tasks as it offers insights as to why quantum protocols outperform...
متن کاملNon-classicality criteria: Glauber–Sudarshan P function and Mandel parameter
We calculate exactly the quantummechanical, temporalWigner quasiprobability density for a singlemode, degenerate parametric amplifier for a system in the Gaussian state, viz., a displaced-squeezed thermal state. The Wigner function allows us to calculate the fluctuations in photon number and the quadrature variance. We contrast the difference between the non-classicality criteria, which is inde...
