• Title: Testing de Broglie's double solution in the mesoscopic regime
• Authors: Thomas Durt
• Abstract summary: We present here solutions of a non-linear Schroedinger equation in presence of an arbitrary linear external potential. These solutions are the product of the pilot wave with peaked solitons the velocity of which obeys the guidance equation derived by Louis de Broglie in 1926. We discuss the possibility to reveal their existence by implementing a humpty-dumpty Stern-Gerlach interferometer in the mesoscopic regime.

• Abstract: We present here solutions of a non-linear Schroedinger equation in presence of an arbitrary linear external potential. The non-linearity expresses a self-focusing interaction. These solutions are the product of the pilot wave with peaked solitons the velocity of which obeys the guidance equation derived by Louis de Broglie in 1926. The degree of validity of our approximations increases when the size of the soliton decreases and becomes negligible compared to the typical size over which the pilot wave varies. We discuss the possibility to reveal their existence by implementing a humpty-dumpty Stern-Gerlach interferometer in the mesoscopic regime.

  We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

• Double-scale theory [77.34726150561087]
  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.

• Non-Linear Interference Challenging Topological Protection of Chiral Edge States [0.0]
  We show how a wave packet propagating in a chiral edge mode may be irreversibly deflected by scattering off a localized wave-packet. This genuinely non-linear interference phenomenon is in stark contrast to linear scattering off a static impurity.

• Free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket using operator manipulations [77.34726150561087]
  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

  We deal with a class of nonlinear Schr"odinger lattices with random potential and subquadratic power nonlinearity. We show that the spreading process is subdiffusive and has complex microscopic organization. The limit of quadratic power nonlinearity is also discussed and shown to result in a delocalization border.

Results show that a cubic interaction allows to increase the effective rates of both linear and nonlinear operations.
