• Abstract: We construct a coupled quantum vortex superposition state (CVSS), since in actual physical systems, linear Schrodinger equations will not be available because of a nonlinear effect. By studying the dynamic evolution of CVSS both analytically and numerically, we show that the superposition of vortex states is not only a mathematical algebraic sum, but also corresponds to a physical process of formation. Moreover, a new method to generate quantum vortex lattice in CVSS research is given. By comparing with the density profiles and phase distributions of quantum vortex state, we have a new understanding of vortex state, which means that there is spatial degeneracy of angular momentum of a particle. According to this idea, a free particle can be understood as the center of mass of a ring-shaped matter in space. Thus, we revisit the double-slit interference experiment and give a new interpretation.

  Kerr nonlinearity promotes interactions between the photons, displaying features that are analogue of a Bose-Einstein condensates. We numerically solve the problem by simulating a vortex-like impurity in the presence of noise. We support our results with a theory that has been previously developed for the brownian motion of point-like particles.

• Macroscopic Quantum Superpositions via Dynamics in a Wide Double-Well Potential [0.0]
  We present an experimental proposal for the rapid preparation of the center of mass of a levitated particle in a macroscopic quantum state. This state is prepared by letting the particle evolve in a static double-well potential after a sudden switchoff of the harmonic trap. We highlight the possibility of using two particles, one evolving in each potential well, to mitigate the impact of collective sources of noise and decoherence.

  We argue that the notion of identical particles is no longer well defined in quantum systems governed by non-commutative deformations of space-time symmetries. Our analysis is based on the observation that, for states containing more than one particle, only the total momentum of the system is a well defined quantum number.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.

  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.
