Quantum cryptography with entangled photons
By realizing a quantum cryptography system based on polarization entangled photon pairs we establish highly secure keys, because a single photon source is approximated and the inherent randomness of quantum measurements is exploited. We implement a novel key distribution scheme using Wigner's inequality to test the security of the quantum channel, and, alternatively, realize a variant of the BB...
متن کاملQuantum metrology with entangled photons
Although most physics experiments are carried out with independent particles, it is the collective nature of entangled particles that reveals the most fascinating and unexpected aspects of the quantum world. It was Erwin Schrödinger who first said “entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics”. One curious aspect of the behavior of a pair of particles in an e...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics from an Equivalence Principle
We show that requiring diffeomorphic equivalence for one-dimensional stationary states implies that the reduced action S0 satisfies the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation with the Planck constant playing the role of a covariantizing parameter. The construction shows the existence of a fundamental initial condition which is strictly related to the Möbius symmetry of the Legendre transform and to i...
متن کاملOn the Equivalence Principle of Quantum Mechanics
A recent concept in theoretical physics, motivated in string duality and M–theory, is the notion that not all quantum theories arise from quantising a classical system. Also, a given quantum model may possess more than just one classical limit. In view of these developments, we analyse some general properties that quantum mechanics must satisfy, if it is not to be formulated as a quantisation o...
متن کاملThe equivalence principle in classical mechanics and quantum mechanics ∗
We discuss our understanding of the equivalence principle in both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. We show that not only does the equivalence principle hold for the trajectories of quantum particles in a background gravitational field, but also that it is only because of this that the equivalence principle is even to be expected to hold for classical particles at all. While the equiva...
