Three approaches for analyzing the counterfactuality of counterfactual protocols

A Wander, E Cohen, L Vaidman - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Counterfactual communication protocols are analyzed using three approaches: a classical
argument, the weak trace criterion, and the Fisher information criterion. It is argued that the …

Analysis of counterfactuality of counterfactual communication protocols

L Vaidman - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
Counterfactual communication, ie, a communication without particles traveling in the
transmission channel, is a bizarre quantum effect. Starting from interaction-free …

The quantum mechanics needs the principle of wave function collapse, but this principle should not be misunderstood

SD Wechsler - arxiv preprint arxiv:2102.10000, 2021 - arxiv.org
The postulate of the collapse of the wave function stands between the microscopic, quantum
world, and the macroscopic world. Because of this intermediate position, the collapse …

Photons can tell “contradictory” answer about where they have been

Q Yuan, X Feng - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2023 - Springer
In this paper we propose a modified nested Mach–Zehnder interferometer scheme which
may be helpful to determine the relation between the measurable signal and a photon's …

From counterportation to local wormholes

H Salih - Quantum Science and Technology, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose an experimental realisation of the protocol for the counterfactual disembodied
transport of an unknown qubit—or what we call counterportation—where sender and …

Time-symmetry and topology of the Aharonov–Bohm effect

Y Aharonov, IL Paiva… - Journal of Physics A …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect has been highly influential in fundamental and
applied physics. Its topological nature commonly implies that an electron encircling a …

Neutrons and photons inside a nested mach-zehnder interferometer

L Vaidman - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
Recent experiments with identically tuned nested Mach-Zehnder interferometers which
attempted to observe the location of particles inside these interferometers are analyzed. In …

Magnesium ions depolarize the neuronal membrane via quantum tunneling through the closed channels

A Barjas Qaswal - Quantum Reports, 2020 - mdpi.com
Magnesium ions have many cellular actions including the suppression of the excitability of
neurons; however, the depolarization effect of magnesium ions seems to be contradictory …

Faint trace of a particle in a noisy Vaidman three-path interferometer

J Dajka - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
We study weak traces of particle passing Vaidman's nested Mach–Zehnder interferometer.
We investigate an effect of decoherence caused by an environment coupled to internal …
