• Abstract: The dynamics of a quantum particle is governed by its wavefunction, which in turn is determined by the classical potential to which it is subjected. However the wavefunction itself induces a quantum potential, the particle `sees' the sum of the classical and quantum potentials, and there is no way to separate the two. Therefore in principle, part or whole of an observed potential may be attributable to a quantum potential. We examine this possibility and discuss implications.

• Quantifying Imaginarity in Neutrino Systems [34.21914676388941]
  We conduct the first analysis of imaginarity quantification in neutrino flavor and spin-flavor oscillations. Our findings reveal that even in the case of two-flavor mixing, these measures of imaginarity are nonzero. We extend our analysis to explore the dynamics of three-flavor neutrino mixing, incorporating the effects of a nonzero CP phase.

• Quantizing the Quantum Uncertainty [0.0]
  We discuss the quantization of the quantum uncertainty as an operator acting on wave-functions over field space. We show how this spectrum appears in the value of the coupling of the effective conformal potential driving the evolution of extended Gaussian wave-packets. We conclude with an open question: is it possible to see experimental signatures of the quantization of the quantum uncertainty in non-relativistic physics?

  We show how a time-independent, finite-dimensional quantum system can give rise to a linear instability corresponding to that in the classical system. An unstable quantum system has a richer spectrum and a much longer recurrence time than a stable quantum system.

  Quantum eraser presents a counterintuitive aspect of the wave-particle duality. We show that quantum eraser can be quantitatively understood in terms of the recently developed duality--entanglement relation. We find that a controllable partial erasure of the which-path information is attainable.

We perform a causal de Broglie-Bohm analysis, and obtain the corresponding quantum potential. An initially collapsing solution with a negative cosmological constant bounces back after reaching a minimum radius.
