Experimental test of nonclassicality with arbitrarily low detection efficiency

Experimental test of nonclassicality criteria for phase-diffused squeezed states

We experimentally examine the nonclassical character of a class of non-Gaussian states known as phasediffused squeezed states. These states may show no squeezing effect at all and therefore provide an interesting example to test nonclassicality criteria. The characteristic function of the Glauber-Sudarshan representation P function proves to be a powerful tool to detect nonclassicality. Using t...

Experimental test of nonclassicality for a single particle.

In a recent paper [R. Alicki and N. Van Ryn, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor., 41, 062001 (2008)] a test of nonclassicality for a single qubit was proposed. Here, we discuss the class of hidden variables theories to which this test applies and present an experimental realization.

An Experimental Test of Psychic Detection

Most of these claims are supported by only anecdotal evidence. This is unfortunate because it is often extremely difficult to rule out non-psychic explanations. For example, Hoebens (1985) has described how some psychics have made several (often conflicting) predictions relating to an unsolved crime. Once the crime was solved the incorrect predictions were forgotten whilst the correct ones were...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...
