Quantum clocks, gravitational time dilation, and quantum interference

نویسندگان

چکیده

A proper time observable for a quantum clock is introduced and it found that the read by one conditioned on another reading different obeys classical dilation in accordance with special relativistic kinematical dilation. Here, we extend this proposal to weak gravitational field order investigate whether equivalence principle holds matter. We find general states similar relativity. However, unlike case, involves external (a background coordinate at observer Earth) as well times of two clocks. also effect induced superposition wave packets localized momentum space or position propose setup observe interference

Quantum theory of time perception: phases,clocks and quantum algebra

Experience of time is one of the primordial human experiences which is deeply tied to human consciousness. But depsite this intimate relation of time with human conscious experience, time has proved to be very elusive. Particularly in physics, though there is already some understanding of time, there are still so many paradoxes that plague this understanding. In this paper we take rather a diff...

Coherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System

The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...

General relativistic effects in quantum interference of “clocks”

Quantum mechanics and general relativity have been each successfully tested in numerous experiments. However, the regime where both theories are jointly required to explain physical phenomena remains untested by laboratory experiments, and is also not fully understood by theory. This contribution reviews recent ideas for a new type of experiments: quantum interference of “clocks”, which aim to ...

Demonstrating Quantum Interference in Time

I discuss the interpretation of a recent experiment showing quantum interference in time. It is pointed out that the standard nonrelativistic quantum theory, used by the authors in their analysis, cannot account for the results found, and therefore that this experiment has fundamental importance beyond the technical advances it represents. In particular, the manifestly covariant quantum theory ...

Quantum Computers and Atomic Clocks

Recent developments in quantum information processing may be applicable to future atomic clocks. In this paper we discuss two potential applications to trappedion frequency standards. In the first, quantum-mechanical entanglement can provide a resource for increased measurement precision in spectroscopy. In the second, we indicate how a simultaneously trapped auxiliary ion species can be used t...
