• Title: Collective behavior in quantum interference: an alternative superposition principle
• Authors: F. V. Kowalski,
• Abstract summary: An interferometer in which all of its components are treated as quantum bodies is examined with the standard interpretation and with a model in which its uncoupled spatially separated components act collectively. Interferometric disparities between them involving frequency shifts and recoil are shown to be difficult to measure. Collective scattering is shown to be a viable alternative to the standard model, thereby providing insight into constructing tests of the superposition principle in systems with three or more bodies.

• Abstract: An interferometer in which all of its components are treated as quantum bodies is examined with the standard interpretation and with a model in which its uncoupled spatially separated components act collectively. These models utilize superposition principles that differ when applied to systems composed of three or more bodies. Interferometric disparities between them involving frequency shifts and recoil are shown to be difficult to measure. More pronounced discrepancies involve correlated interference. The collective model is shown to provide a missing connection between quantum and semiclassical theories. Scattering from an entangled state, which cannot be divided into disjoint parts, is discussed in relation to collective recoil. Collective scattering is shown to be a viable alternative to the standard model, thereby providing insight into constructing tests of the superposition principle in systems with three or more bodies.

• Collective entanglement in quantum materials with competing orders [0.0]
  We show the detection of collective entanglement arising from two different physical mechanisms. In the latter case, the detection shows the formation of a collective entangled phase not directly related to spontaneous symmetry breaking. These results open a new perspective for the entanglement characterization of competing orders in quantum materials.

• Quantitative non-classicality of mediated interactions [0.5033155053523042]
  We show that the gain of quantum entanglement between the masses indicates non-classicality of the states of the whole tripartite system. We derive inequalities whose violation indicates non-commutativity and non-decomposability. We give applications of these techniques in two different fields: for detecting non-classicality of gravitational interaction and in bounding the Trotter error in quantum simulations.

Our method is applicable to a variety of other systems, and could provide a powerful new tool for the study of complex driven-dissipative quantum systems.

  Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator. We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

• Quantum Relativity of Subsystems [58.720142291102135]
  We show that different reference frame perspectives induce different sets of subsystem observable algebras, which leads to a gauge-invariant, frame-dependent notion of subsystems and entanglement. Such a QRF perspective does not inherit the distinction between subsystems in terms of the corresponding tensor factorizability of the kinematical Hilbert space and observable algebra. Since the condition for this to occur is contingent on the choice of QRF, the notion of subsystem locality is frame-dependent.
