1 Engineering Entanglement: Quantum Computation, Quantum
... From Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen, to Bohm, Aharonov, Bell, and their followers in the 1960s–70s, those working on entanglement were preoccupied with understanding the conceptual foundation of quantum mechanics. They treated the entangled state as a model scenario to demonstrate how weird the quantum w ...

atom interferometer - Center for Ultracold Atoms
... Most previous experiments in atom optics have involved manipulation of the momentum of a matter wave transverse to its direction of propagation. However, one may also alter a wave’s longitudinal momentum state, placing each atom in a superposition involving different wavelengths corresponding to dif ...

AbMinPRL - University of Strathclyde
... There are two remaining problems in the AbrahamMinkowski dilemma: why is it that the experiments supporting one or other of these momenta give the results that they do and how can we correctly identify the momenta in a dispersive medium [19]? Explaining these, we suggest, completes the resolution of ...

Quantum boolean functions - Chicago Journal of Theoretical

This paper draws heavily on the classical field of the analysis of boolean functions, which for our purposes essentially began with the seminal paper of Kahn, Kalai and Linial [KKL88], which proved that every balanced boolean function must have an influential variable (see Section 10). Since then, a ...
