• Abstract: The quantum decoherence program has become more attractive in providing an acceptable solution for the long-standing quantum measurement problem. Decoherence by quantum entanglement happens very quickly to entangle the quantum system with the environment including the detector. But in the final stage of measurement, acquiring the unentangled pointer states poses some problems. Recent experimental observations of the effect of the ubiquitous quantum vacuum fluctuations in destroying quantum entanglement appears to provide a solution.

  We find that measurements cause quantum wave functions to collapse. By studying the overlooked phenomena of quantum wave function collapse, we find that quantum eigenstate sets may be artificially controlled.

• Randomly Monitored Quantum Codes [8.557392136621894]
  Recent studies have shown that quantum measurement itself can induce novel quantum phenomena. One example is a monitored random circuit, which can generate long-range entanglement faster than a random unitary circuit. In particular, we demonstrate that for a large class of quantum error-correcitng codes, it is impossible to destroy the encoded information through random single-qubit Pauli measurements.
