Magnetic tuning of quantum backflow: Schrödinger vs Pauli system doi.org/10.1103/3jq6-ql82

Magnetic tuning of quantum backflow: Schr\"odinger vs Pauli system

Probability backflow is investigated for charged spin-$1/2$ particles in a uniform magnetic field within the lowest-Landau-level approximation. While single-mode Landau states exhibit only weak and...

How many photons can a molecule scatter before its coherence is lost? arxiv.org/abs/2609.33475

How many photons can a molecule scatter before its coherence is lost?

Molecular qubits held in conservative optical traps may lose coherence when they scatter photons from the trapping lasers. The rate for this process has two parts, one equal to the mean Raman...

Quantum scattering by intersecting δ-potential barriers: from Gaudin's kaleidoscope to quantum Galperin billiards arxiv.org/abs/2609.23406

Quantum scattering by intersecting δ-potential barriers: from...

We develop a general framework for the scattering of a plane wave by a class of Gaudin kaleidoscope models: straight $δ$-potential barriers intersecting at a common point. The projected...

Entanglement without quantum mechanics: Operational constraints on the quantum signature doi.org/10.1103/xdz9-x3zj

Entanglement without quantum mechanics: Operational constraints on the quantum signature

Quantum entanglement is defined as nonseparability of density operators, yet experimental phase-space statistics alone cannot distinguish classical from quantum sources, so classical data can be used...

Quantum neural network equipped with backpropagation on a qudit processor

Quantum neural networks (QNNs), one of the fundamental algorithms in quantum machine learning, have been widely used in classification and identification tasks. However, the capabilities of QNNs...

Quantum States Cannot Hide Their Origin

Theorists find a persistent signature of a chaotic quantum system’s initial state, implying a memory effect—called a quantum birthmark—that resists thermodynamic equilibration.

Quantum Physics Corner retweeted

@stevenstrogatzSep 8
While walking to work, I just had a chat with ChatGPT to make sure I understood what the claimed singular solution to Navier-Stokes would mean *physically.* Here's a tweet thread it generated for me. Hope you find it helpful. (I rewrote it a bit to clarify what's surprising.)

Quantum observables over time for information recovery doi.org/10.1103/schg-nl3m

Quantum observables over time for information recovery

We introduce the concept of quantum observables over time (QOOT), an operator that jointly describes two observables at two distinct time points, as a dual of the quantum state over time formalism....

What do position and time mean in the quantum wavefunction?

The notation $ψ(x,t)$ is among the first pieces of quantum mechanics that students learn. It is also among the easiest to over-interpret. Because $x$ and $t$ occur as arguments of the same...

Conservation Laws in the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Abstract. Although the basic approach of the many-worlds interpretation is that the ontology of our universe is a unitarily evolving highly entangled wavef

[...] my guess for the outcome of the active search for a satisfactory understanding of quantum mechanics, is that some different “big picture” will arise, which is not “many worlds,” but which still upholds Hugh Everett’s conviction that paranormal influences will not overrule the Schrödinger equation. — Charles W.
