- Abstract: Vacuum fluctuations can obscure the detection signal of the measurement of
the smallest quantum objects like single particles seemingly implying a
fundamental limit to measurement accuracy. However, as we show relativistic
invariance implies the disappearance of fluctuations for the space-like
spectrum of an observable at zero temperature. This complete absence of noise
can be harnessed to perform noiseless measurement of single particles, as we
illustrate for electrons or photons. We outline a general scheme to illustrate
the noiseless measurement involving the space-like spectrum of observables
based on the self-interference of counter-propagating paths of a single
particle in a triangular Sagnac interferometer.

We argue that measurement data in quantum physics can be rigorously interpreted only as a result of a statistical, macroscopic process.
We show with the illustrative cases of the Schr"odinger cat and the Bell experiment that once the Born rule is abandoned on the level of a single particle, realism, locality and causality are restored.

Hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong, and even more in the deep-strong, coupling regimes can exhibit exotic physical phenomena.
We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator.
This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime.

The quantum superposition principle implies that a particle entering an interferometer evolves by simultaneously taking both arms.
For a fixed state measured at the output port, certain particle properties can be associated with only one or the other path.
We report observation of the spatial and polarization degrees of freedom of a single photon in the two arms of an interferometer.

Quantum interference can disappear with the mere possibility of distinguishability without performing the act.
We create such distinguishability in an unbalanced SU (1,1) interferometer and observe no interference in the direct photodetection of the outputs.
Here, we report a method of homodyne detection that can also recover interference effect.

Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter.
In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement.
Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

We investigate, in a four photon interference experiment in a laser-written waveguide structure, how symmetries control the suppression of many-body output events of a $J_x$ unitary.
We show that totally destructive interference does not require mutual indistinguishability between all, but only between symmetrically paired particles.
