• Authors: Lihong V. Wang
• Abstract summary: Co-quantum theory predicts the experimental observation in absolute units without fitting parameters with a p-value less than one per million. Co-quantum concept is corroborated by statistically reproducing exactly the wave function, density operator, and uncertainty relation for electron spin in Stern$-$Gerlach experiments.

• Abstract: In the classic multi-stage Stern$-$Gerlach experiment conducted by Frisch and Segr\`e, the Majorana (Landau$-$Zener) and Rabi formulae diverge afar from the experimental observation while the physical mechanism for electron-spin collapse remains unidentified. Here, introducing the physical co-quantum concept provides a plausible physical mechanism and predicts the experimental observation in absolute units without fitting (i.e., no parameters adjusted) with a p-value less than one per million, which is the probability that the co-quantum theory happens to match the experimental observation purely by chance. Further, the co-quantum concept is corroborated by statistically reproducing exactly the wave function, density operator, and uncertainty relation for electron spin in Stern$-$Gerlach experiments.

• A quantum treatment of the Stern-Gerlach experiment [0.0]
  Most textbooks introduce the concept of spin by presenting the Stern-Gerlach experiment with the aid of Newtonian atomic trajectories. We offer two simple methods, the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula and the direct integration of the Schr"odinger equation in an interaction picture, to determine the corresponding evolution operator. We compute the wave function and touch upon the concept of position-spin entanglement to illustrate how a full quantum description of the Stern-Gerlach experiment can open doors to topics like quantum measurement and nonlocality.

  The Frisch and Segre experiment has been modeled analytically by Rabiana without the nuclear effect and subsequently revised by the hyperfine interaction. We solve the standard quantum mechanical model, via the von Neumann equation, including the hyperfine interaction time for the spin. Non-standard variants that improve the match are explored for discussion.

  Noncommuting charges have emerged as a subfield at the intersection of quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. We simulate a Heisenberg evolution using laser-induced entangling interactions and collective spin rotations. We find that small subsystems equilibrate to near a recently predicted non-Abelian thermal state.

  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.

  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.

  We report on experimental tests of topological defect formation via the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model. We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
