Understanding quantum mechanics: a review and synthesis in precise language
B Drummond - Open Physics, 2019 - degruyter.com
This review, of the understanding of quantum mechanics, is broad in scope, and aims to
reflect enough of the literature to be representative of the current state of the subject. To …

Weak values and the past of a quantum particle
We investigate four key issues with using a nonzero weak value of the spatial projection
operator to infer the past path of an individual quantum particle. First, we note that weak …

Realism and causality. I. Pilot wave and retrocausal models as possible facilitators
Of all basic principles of classical physics, realism should arguably be the last to be given up
when seeking a better interpretation of quantum mechanics. We examine the de Broglie …

Experimentally probing anomalous time evolution of a single photon
In quantum mechanics, a quantum system is irreversibly collapsed by a projective
measurement. Hence, delicately probing the time evolution of a quantum system holds the …

Time-symmetry and topology of the Aharonov–Bohm effect
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 …

Quantum three-box paradox: a proposal for atom optics implementation
Quantum three-box paradox is one of the major mysteries revealed through two-state vector
formalism of the quantum theory in conjunction with the weak measurements. We suggest a …

Quantum reality with negative-mass particles
Physical interpretations of the time-symmetric formulation of quantum mechanics, due to
Aharonov, Bergmann, and Lebowitz are discussed in terms of weak values. The most direct …

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 …
