- Abstract: In this work, dissipative quantum backflow is studied for a superposition of
two stretched Gaussian wave packets and two identical spinless particles within
the Caldirola-Kanai framework. Backflow is mainly an interference process and
dissipation is not able to suppress it in the first case. For two identical
spinless particles, apart from interference terms, the symmetry of the wave
function seems to be crucial in this dynamics. The combined properties make
bosons display this effect, even for the dissipative regime but, for fermions,
backflow is not exhibited in any regime, dissipative and nodissipative. The
anti-symmetric character of the corresponding wave function seems to be strong
enough to prevent it. For bosons, backflow is also analyzed in terms of
fidelity of one-particle states which is a well-known property of two quantum
states. At very small values of fidelity, this effect is not seen even for
bosons.

linear-and-quadratic optomechanical interactions [62.997667081978825]
We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators.
We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity.
We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

Quantum backflow refers to the counterintuitive fact that the probability can flow in the direction opposite to the momentum of a quantum particle.
We show that quantum backflow can be unbounded, which makes this system a promising physical platform regarding the yet-to-be-performed experimental observation of this fundamental quantum phenomenon.

We predict quantum non-Hermitian phenomena: the fractional quantum Zeno (FQZ) effect and FQZ-induced photon antibunching.
We find FQZ-induced strong photon antibunching in the steady state of a driven emitter even for weak nonlinearities.
Remarkably, we identify that the sub-Poissonian quantum statistics of photons, which has no classical analogs, stems here from the key role of non-Hermiticity.

The maximum visibility fringes occur when the irradiance of the two beams is equal, and as the ratio of the beam intensities deviates from unity, fringe visibility decreases.
In this work, we experimentally observe the backflow phenomenon within this wavy wavefront.
Backflow appears in both optics (retro-propagating light) and in quantum mechanics where a local phase gradient is not present within the spectrum of the system.

Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter.
In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement.
Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

We identify the underlying mechanism as timelike indistinguishability.

We have shown that the obtained quantum state is more resistant to few particle losses from the condensates if tiny components of entangled Fock states are present.

We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit.
We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
