• Title: Hidden Parameters in Heisenberg's and Landau-Peierls Uncertainty Relations, Speed of Virtual Particles and Space-Time Metric Types
• Authors: B. B. Levchenko
• Abstract summary: In quantum field theory, virtual particles are carriers of relativistic wave fields, participate in vacuum fluctuations, and are a consequence of the implementation of the quantum uncertainty mechanism. We prove that the well-known Heisenberg uncertainty relations and Landau-Peierls uncertainty relations implicitly contain new "hidden" angular variables. We propose a method for revealing the type of space-time geometry in the interaction region of high-energy particles.

• Abstract: In quantum field theory, virtual particles are carriers of relativistic wave fields, participate in vacuum fluctuations, and are a consequence of the implementation of the quantum uncertainty mechanism. Virtual particles, playing a fundamental role in our understanding and description of interaction processes, are themselves inaccessible to direct observation and measurement of their dynamic characteristics. We prove that the well-known Heisenberg uncertainty relations and Landau-Peierls uncertainty relations implicitly contain new "hidden" angular variables. On the basis of the relations obtained, we derive a formula for estimating the speed $u$ of a virtual particle in indirect measurements. This formula is applicable in cases where the final state is characterized by an incomplete set of variables. Moreover, we present arguments that the speed of a virtual particle is a sensitive indicator of non-linearity of the process dynamics and propose a method for revealing the type of space-time geometry in the interaction region of high-energy particles.

By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  We study momentum-space decoherence using minimum and non-uncertainty-product wave packets in the framework of Caldeira-Leggett formalism. For the cat state, while the stretching parameter speeds up the decoherence, the external linear potential strength does not affect the decoherence time. The interference pattern is not observed for minimum-uncertainty-product-Gaussian wave packets in the momentum space.
