- Abstract summary: Non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are central objects in number theory.
We present an experimental observation of the lowest non-trivial zeros by using a trapped ion qubit in a Paul trap.
The waveform of the driving is engineered such that the dynamics of the ion is frozen when the driving parameters coincide with a zero of the real component of the zeta function.

- Abstract: The non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are central objects in
number theory. In particular, they enable one to reproduce the prime numbers.
They have also attracted the attention of physicists working in Random Matrix
Theory and Quantum Chaos for decades. Here we present an experimental
observation of the lowest non-trivial Riemann zeros by using a trapped ion
qubit in a Paul trap, periodically driven with microwave fields. The waveform
of the driving is engineered such that the dynamics of the ion is frozen when
the driving parameters coincide with a zero of the real component of the zeta
function. Scanning over the driving amplitude thus enables the locations of the
Riemann zeros to be measured experimentally to a high degree of accuracy,
providing a physical embodiment of these fascinating mathematical objects in
the quantum realm.

We present a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, called the double-scale theory.
It is based on the simultaneous existence of two wave functions in the laboratory reference frame.
The external wave function corresponds to a field that pilots the center-of-mass of the quantum system.
The internal wave function corresponds to the interpretation proposed by Edwin Schr"odinger.

The Schr"odinger equation on a circle with an initially localized profile of the wave function is known to give rise to revivals or replications.
The structure of singularities of the resulting wave function is characterized in detail.
It is suggested that, differently from the circle case, these regions are not lines but instead some specific set of points along the sphere.

We find a correspondence between the distribution of the zeros of $zeta(z)$ and the poles of the scattering matrix $S$ of a physical system.
In the first we apply the infinite-components Majorana equation in a Rindler spacetime and compare the results with those obtained with a Dirac particle.
Here we find that, thanks to the relationship between the angular momentum and energy/mass eigenvalues of the Majorana solution, one can explain the still unclear point for which the poles and zeros of the $S$-matrix exist always in pairs.

For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
