Mathematical Foundations of Holonomic Quantum Computer [PDF]
We make a brief review of (optical) Holonomic Quantum Computer (or Computation) proposed by Zanardi and Rasetti (quant-ph/9904011) and Pachos and Chountasis (quant-ph/9912093), and give a mathematical reinforcement to their works.Comment: Latex file, 11 ...

Experimental Predictions for Norm-Conserving Spontaneous Collapse
Previous work has shown that nonlocal collapse in quantum mechanics can be described by a deterministic, non-unitary operator added to the standard Schrödinger equation.

Quantum superpositions of ‘common-cause’ and ‘direct-cause’ causal structures
The constraints arising for a general set of causal relations, both classically and quantumly, are still poorly understood. As a step in exploring this question, we consider a coherently controlled superposition of ‘direct-cause’ and ‘common-cause ...

Summoning, No-Signalling and Relativistic Bit Commitments
Summoning is a task between two parties, Alice and Bob, with distributed networks of agents in space-time. Bob gives Alice a random quantum state, known to him but not her, at some point. She is required to return the state at some later point, belonging

QUANTUM THEOLOGY BEYOND COPENHAGEN: TAKING FUNDAMENTALISM LITERALLY
Theological engagement with quantum physics has, to this day, been dominated by the Copenhagen interpretation. However, philosophers and physicists working in the “quantum foundations” field have largely abandoned the Copenhagen view on account of what ...

A novel uncertainty relation for errors of general quantum measurement is presented. The new relation, which is presented in geometric terms for maps representing measurement, is completely operational and can be related directly to tangible measurement ...

"Space is blue and birds fly through it" [PDF]
Quantum mechanics is not about 'quantum states': it is about values of physical variables. I give a short fresh presentation and update on the $relational$ perspective on the theory, and a comment on its philosophical implications.Comment: Presented to ...

Contextuality under weak assumptions
The presence of contextuality in quantum theory was first highlighted by Bell, Kochen and Specker, who discovered that for quantum systems of three or more dimensions, measurements could not be viewed as deterministically revealing pre-existing ...

Local Scale Covariance and Its Radical Implications for Cosmology
Local scale covariance posits that no privileged length scales should appear in the fundamental equations of local, Minkowskian physics—why should nature have scale, but not position preferences?—yet, they clearly do.
