Elementary Quantum Mechanics in a Space-time Lattice

open access: yes, 2010
Studies of quantum fields and gravity suggest the existence of a minimal length, such as Planck length \cite{Floratos,Kempf}. It is natural to ask how the existence of a minimal length may modify the results in elementary quantum mechanics (QM) problems ...

The Schrödinger–Newton equation and its foundations

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
The necessity of quantising the gravitational field is still subject to an open debate. In this paper we compare the approach of quantum gravity, with that of a fundamentally semi-classical theory of gravity, in the weak-field non-relativistic limit.

Quantum parameter estimation with imperfect reference frames

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2015
Quantum metrology studies quantum strategies which enable us to outperform their classical counterparts. In this framework, the existence of perfect classical reference frames is usually assumed.

Optimal lossy quantum interferometry in phase space

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2017
We analyse the phase space representation of the optimal measurement of a phase shift in an interferometer with equal photon loss in both its arms. In the local phase estimation scenario with a fixed number of photons, we identify features of the spin ...

Valid lower bound for all estimators in quantum parameter estimation

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
The widely used quantum Cramér–Rao bound (QCRB) sets a lower bound for the mean square error of unbiased estimators in quantum parameter estimation, however, in general QCRB is only tight in the asymptotical limit.

‘Quantum Cheshire Cat’ as simple quantum interference

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2015
In a recent work, Aharonov et al suggested that a photon could be separated from its polarization in an experiment involving pre- and post-selection (Aharonov et al 2013 New J. Phys.
