• Abstract: A satisfactory resolution of the persistent quantum measurement problem remains stubbornly unresolved in spite of an overabundance of efforts of many prominent scientists over the decades. Among others, one key element is considered yet to be resolved. It comprises of where the probabilities of the measurement outcome stem from. This article attempts to provide a plausible answer to this enigma, thus eventually making progress toward a cogent solution of the longstanding measurement problem.

• Resolving the Quantum Measurement Problem through Leveraging the Uncertainty Principle [0.0]
  The Schrodinger equation is incomplete, inherently unable to explain the collapse of the wavefunction caused by measurement. We show that in phase space quantum mechanics, uncertainty can be arbitrarily adjusted by tuning the observation window. Our framework bridges seemingly disparate concepts such as classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, decoherence, and measurement within intrinsic quantum mechanics.

  We introduce the concept of entanglement detection length, defined as the minimum number of particles that have to be jointly measured. We show that the entanglement detection length is generally smaller than the minimum observable length needed to uniquely determine a multipartite state.

  We argue that no less than six problems need to be distinguished, and that several of them classify as different types of problems. One of them is what traditionally is called the measurement problem' Another of them has nothing to do with measurements but is a profound metaphysical problem.

• Variational Quantum Metrology with Loschmidt Echo [20.002455345052702]
  We propose a scalable scheme with a symmetrical variational quantum circuit which, same as the Loschmidt echo, consists of a forward and a backward evolution. We show that in this scheme the quantum Fisher information, which quantifies the precision limit, can be efficiently obtained from a measurement signal of the Loschmidt echo. We experimentally implement the scheme on an ensemble of 10-spin quantum processor and successfully achieves a precision near the theoretical limit which outperforms the standard quantum limit with 12.4 dB.
