• Abstract: Time-of-flight measurements of helium atoms in a double-slit experiment reported in [C. Kurtsiefer, T. Pfau, and J. Mlynek, Nature 386, 150 (1997)] are compared with the arrival times of Bohmian trajectories. This is the first qualitative comparison of a quantum mechanical arrival-time calculation with observation at the single-particle level, particularly noteworthy given the absence of a consensus in extracting time-of-flight predictions from quantum theory. We further explore a challenging double-slit experiment in which one of the slits is shut in flight.

  The Delayed-Choice Quantum Eraser demonstrates the relationship between quantum measurement, wave-particle duality, and the temporal ordering of observations. By utilizing the principles of quantum superposition, entanglement, and the non-local collapse of the wave function, we seek to rationalize the counterintuitive outcomes observed in the experiment.

• Current experimental upper bounds on spacetime diffusion [0.0]
  A consistent theory describing the dynamics of quantum systems interacting on a classical space-time was recently put forward by Oppenheimn et al. Here, we report existing experimental upper bounds on such space-time diffusion based on a review of several types of experiments with very low force noise. We find an upper bound at least 15 orders of magnitude lower as compared to the initial bounds for explicit models presented by Oppenheimn et al.

• Amplification of quantum transfer and quantum ratchet [56.47577824219207]
  We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model. The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels. Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

• Can the double-slit experiment distinguish between quantum interpretations? [0.0]
  There are various predictions for joint distribution of particle detection events on a screen which are derived from different formulations and interpretations of the quantum theory. Although the differences are typically small, our studies show that these predictions can be experimentally distinguished by an unconventional double-slit configuration. This experiment would enrich our understanding of the foundations of quantum mechanics.

  We demonstrate how quantum time dilation manifests in a spontaneous emission process. The resulting emission rate differs when compared to the emission rate of an atom prepared in a mixture of momentum wave packets. We argue that spectroscopic experiments offer a technologically feasible platform to explore the effects of quantum time dilation.
