Title: Footprints of quantum pigeons
Authors: Gregory Reznik, Shrobona Bagchi, Justin Dressel, and Lev Vaidman
Abstract summary: We show that in the mathematical framework of the quantum theory the classical pigeonhole principle can be violated more directly than previously suggested. We argue that a definitive experimental violation of the pigeonhole principle is still needed and propose such an implementation using modern quantum computing hardware.

Abstract: We show that in the mathematical framework of the quantum theory the classical pigeonhole principle can be violated more directly than previously suggested, i.e., in a setting closer to the traditional statement of the principle. We describe how the counterfactual reasoning of the paradox may be operationally grounded in the analysis of the tiny footprints left in the environment by the pigeons. After identifying the drawbacks of recent experiments of the quantum pigeonhole effect, we argue that a definitive experimental violation of the pigeonhole principle is still needed and propose such an implementation using modern quantum computing hardware: a superconducting circuit with transmon qubits.

Demonstration of the quantum principle of least action with single photons [2.9339487562821867]
We experimentally observe single photons' propagators based on the method of directly measuring quantum wave-functions. We obtain the classical trajectories of the single photons in free space and in a harmonic trap based on the extremum of the observed propagators. Our work paves the way for experimentally exploring fundamental problems of quantum theory in the formulation of path integrals.

Energetic cost of Hamiltonian quantum gates [0.0]
We prove an inequality bounding the change of Shannon information encoded in the logical quantum states by quantifying the energetic cost of Hamiltonian gate operations. The utility of this bound is demonstrated by outlining how it can be applied to identify energetically optimal quantum gates in theory and experiment.

A trajectory is not an outcome of a quantum measurement, in the sense that there is no observable associated with it. We show how to overcome this problem by considering a special case of our generic inequality that can be experimentally tested point-by-point in time.
