Macroscopic quantum states: Measures, fragility, and implementations

F Fröwis, P Sekatski, W Dür, N Gisin… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
Large-scale quantum effects have always played an important role in the foundations of
quantum theory. With recent experimental progress and the aspiration for quantum …

Massive quantum systems as interfaces of quantum mechanics and gravity

S Bose, I Fuentes, AA Geraci, SM Khan, S Qvarfort… - Reviews of Modern …, 2025 - APS
The traditional view from particle physics is that quantum-gravity effects should become
detectable only at extremely high energies and small length scales. Owing to the significant …

Quantification of macroscopic quantum superpositions within phase space

CW Lee, H Jeong - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
Based on phase-space structures of quantum states, we propose a novel measure to
quantify macroscopic quantum superpositions. Our measure simultaneously quantifies two …

Correlations in a BEC collision: first-principles quantum dynamics with 150 000 atoms

P Deuar, PD Drummond - Physical review letters, 2007 - APS
The quantum dynamics of colliding Bose-Einstein condensates with 150 000 atoms are
simulated directly from the Hamiltonian using the stochastic positive-P method. Two-body …

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement and steering in two-well Bose-Einstein-condensate ground states

QY He, PD Drummond, MK Olsen, MD Reid - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2012 - APS
We consider how to generate and detect Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement and
the steering paradox between groups of atoms in two separated potential wells in a Bose …

Decoherence of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering

L Rosales-Zárate, RY Teh, S Kiesewetter… - Journal of the Optical …, 2015 - opg.optica.org
We consider two systems A and B that share Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering
correlations and study how these correlations will decay when each of the systems is …

Dynamics of transient cat states in degenerate parametric oscillation with and without nonlinear Kerr interactions

RY Teh, FX Sun, RES Polkinghorne, QY He, Q Gong… - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
A cat state is formed as the steady-state solution for the signal mode of an ideal degenerate
parametric oscillator, in the limit of negligible single-photon signal loss. In the presence of …

Planar quantum squeezing and atom interferometry

QY He, SG Peng, PD Drummond, MD Reid - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2011 - APS
We obtain a lower bound on the sum of two orthogonal spin component variances in a
plane. This gives a planar uncertainty relation which holds even when the Heisenberg …

Overcoming decoherence of schrödinger cat states formed in a cavity using squeezed-state inputs

RY Teh, PD Drummond, MD Reid - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
A cat state is a superposition of two coherent states with amplitudes α 0 and− α 0. Recent
experiments create cat states in a microwave cavity field using superconducting circuits. As …

Creation, storage, and retrieval of an optomechanical cat state

RY Teh, S Kiesewetter, PD Drummond, MD Reid - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We analyze a method for the creation, storage, and retrieval of optomechanical Schrödinger
cat states, in which there is a quantum superposition of two distinct macroscopic states of a …
