• Title: Mixed state geometric phase for neutrino oscillations
• Authors: Sandeep Joshi
• Abstract summary: The propagation of a neutrino beam is described by a density matrix evolving in a state space with non-trivial geometry. We show that, in the case of two flavor neutrino oscillations, the geometric phase is independent of the Majorana phase and it can be used as a measure of coherence of the neutrino beam.

• Abstract: The geometric picture of neutrino oscillations offers a unique way to study the quantum mechanics of this phenomenon. In this picture, the propagation of a neutrino beam is described by a density matrix evolving in a state space with non-trivial geometry. We derive explicit expressions of the mixed state geometric phase which arise during such an evolution for both two and three flavor neutrino oscillations. We show that, in the case of two flavor neutrino oscillations, the geometric phase is independent of the Majorana phase and it can be used as a measure of coherence of the neutrino beam.

  Extreme conditions in the interiors of the core-collapse supernovae make neutrino-neutrino interactions feasible but dominant in specific regions. We present the first three flavor many-body calculations of the collective neutrino oscillations. The entanglement is quantified in terms of the entanglement entropy and the components of the polarization vector.

• Role of non-gaussian quantum fluctuations in neutrino entanglement [0.0]
  neutrino-neutrino coherent scattering can give rise to nontrivial quantum entanglement among neutrinos. We observe that the entanglement induced by the coupling leads to strong delocalization in phase-space with largely non-Gaussian quantum fluctuations. The link between the neutrino entanglement and quantum fluctuations is illustrated using the one- and two-neutrino entropy.

We study the full out-of-equilibrium flavor dynamics in simple multi-angle geometries displaying fast oscillations. We present evidence that these fast collective modes are generated by the same dynamical phase transition.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
