• Title: Length as a Paradigm for Understanding the Classical Limit
• Authors: Mark G. Kuzyk
• Abstract summary: Quantum length of an object provides an ideal pedagogical paradigm for understanding how a physicist uses classical intuition to define quantum properties. It also provides for a way to understand many-particle states, and leads to interesting quantum behavior that challenges our intuition of measurement.

• Abstract: It is regrettable that the quantum length of an object is rarely if ever discussed, because it provides an ideal pedagogical paradigm for understanding how a physicist uses classical intuition to define quantum properties and how such quantum properties behave as one would expect in the classical limit. It also provides for a way to understand many-particle states, and leads to interesting quantum behavior that challenges our intuition of measurement.

• Operationally classical simulation of quantum states [41.94295877935867]
  A classical state-preparation device cannot generate superpositions and hence its emitted states must commute. We show that no such simulation exists, thereby certifying quantum coherence. Our approach is a possible avenue to understand how and to what extent quantum states defy generic models based on classical devices.

  It is shown that quantum and classical predictions converge as the number of qubits is increases to the macroscopic scale. This way to explain the classical limit concurs with, and improves, a result previously reported for GHZ states.

  We show that the dependence of the quantum chaotic measure on the chaoticity of finite time trajectories can be well captured by a function that is independent of the system. This strongly implies the universal validity of the finite time quantum-classical correspondence.

  We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

  The quantum description of reality is quite different from the classical one. We show that the generalized Lorentz transformation, when used in a consistent way, does not provide any correspondence between the classical concept of a definite path and the multiple paths of quantum mechanics.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
