چکیده
Working from the Schrödinger’s Cat paradigm, a series of experiments are constructed. The Bedford-Wang experiment is examined, and the ambiguity in its meaning is addressed. We eliminate this ambiguity by abandoning the idea of the triggering event, replacing the two-state system with a mirror that undergoes wave packet spreading. This creates an experimentally testable version of a modified Schrödinger’s Cat experiment for which a null result is not the obvious outcome. ∗[email protected] †[email protected]

Several aspects of complex-valued potentials generating a real and positive spectrum are discussed. In particular, we construct complex-valued potentials whose corresponding Schrödinger eigenvalue problem can be solved analytically. PACS: 03.65.-w

It is shown that, in order to avoid unacceptable nonlocal effects, the free parameters of the general Doebner-Goldin equation have to be chosen such that this nonlinear Schrödinger equation becomes Galilean covariant.

We derive simple formulas connecting the generalized Wigner functions for s-ordering with the density matrix, and vice-versa. These formulas proved very useful for quantum mechanical applications, as, for example, for connecting master equations with Fokker-Planck equations, or for evaluating the quantum state from Monte Carlo simulations of Fokker-Planck equations, and finally for studying pos...

A quantum spin system can be modelled by an equivalent classical system, with an effective Hamiltonian obtained by integrating all non-zero frequency modes out of the path integral. The effective Hamiltonian H eff ({S i }) derived from the coherent-state integral is highly singular: the quasiprobability density exp(−βH eff), a Wigner function, imposes quantisation through derivatives of delta f...
