Comment on a Proposed Super-Kamiokande Test for Quantum Gravity Induced Decoherence Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
Lisi, Marrone, and Montanino have recently proposed a test for quantum gravity induced decoherence effects in neutrino oscillations observed at Super-Kamiokande. We comment here that their equations have the same qualitative form as the energy conserving objective state vector reduction equations discussed by a number of authors. However, using the Planckian parameter value proposed to explain state vector reduction leads to a neutrino oscillation effect many orders of magnitude smaller than would be detectable at Super-Kamiokande. Similar estimates hold for the Girardi, Rimini, and Weber spontaneous localization approach to state vector reduction, and our remarks are relevant as well to proposed K meson and B meson tests of gravity induced decoherence.

متن کاملDecoherence effects on quantum Fisher information of multi-qubit W states
Quantum fisher information of a parameter characterizing the sensitivity of a state with respect to parameter changes. In this paper, we study the quantum fisher information of the W state for four, five, six and seven particles in decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing channel. Using Krauss operators for decoherence channels components, we investigate t...
متن کاملExploration of Possible Quantum Gravity Effects with Neutrinos I: Decoherence in Neutrino Oscillations Experiments
Quantum gravity may involve models with stochastic fluctuations of the associated metric field, around some fixed background value. Such stochastic models of gravity may induce decoherence for matter propagating in such fluctuating space time. In most cases, this leads to fewer neutrinos of all active flavours being detected in a long baseline experiment as compared to three-flavour standard ne...
متن کاملAre we at the dawn of quantum - gravity phenomenology ?
A handful of recent papers has been devoted to proposals of experiments capable of testing some candidate quantum-gravity phenomena. These lecture notes emphasize those aspects that are most relevant to the questions that inevitably come to mind when one is exposed for the first time to these research developments: How come theory and experiments are finally meeting in spite of all the gloomy f...
متن کاملQuantum theory of nonrelativistic particles interacting with gravity.
We investigate the effects of the gravitational field on the quantum dynamics of non-relativistic particles. We consider N non-relativistic particles, interacting with the linearized gravitational field. Using the Feynman Vernon influence functional technique, we trace out the graviton field, to obtain a master equation for the system of particles to first order in G. The effective interaction ...
