Title: Universality in Quantum Measurements
Authors: Avijit Lahiri
Abstract summary: We briefly review a number of major features of the approach to quantum measurement theory based on environment-induced decoherence of the measuring apparatus. We summarize our observations in the form of a couple of general principles that, unlike the wave function collapse hypothesis, emerge as ones consistent with the unitary Schr"odinger evolution of wave functions.

Abstract: We briefly review a number of major features of the approach to quantum measurement theory based on environment-induced decoherence of the measuring apparatus, and summarize our observations in the form of a couple of general principles that, unlike the wave function collapse hypothesis, emerge as ones consistent with the unitary Schr\"odinger evolution of wave functions. We conclude with a few observations of a philosophical nature, to the effect that that quantum theory does not purport to describe reality but constitutes an {\it interpretation} of our phenomenal reality within a context -- one where the Planck scale is not crossed. Beyond the Planck scale, a radically new interpretation of reality is likely to emerge.

From Quantum Cognition to Conceptuality Interpretation II: Unraveling the Quantum Mysteries [0.0]
An overview of the conceptuality interpretation of quantum mechanics is presented, along with an explanation of how it sheds light on key quantum and relativistic phenomena. We show how the interpretation clarifies Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, wave function-based and entanglement-based nonlocality, interference effects resulting from the superposition principle, delayed choice experiments, quantum measurements, the mechanism of quantization. We argue that the interpretation can also elucidate relativistic effects, focusing on time dilation.

Entangled in Spacetime [0.0]
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.

Does quantum information require additional structure? [0.0]
We introduce the correspondence principle between physical reality and mathematical models. We consider the status of quantum information in the standard quantum model. We present the Chyli'nski model as an example of quantum relational space.

A Method Using Photon Collapse and Entanglement to Transmit Information [13.438312709072457]
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. We propose an innovative method for direct information transmission utilizing photon wave function collapse and entanglement.

Is Planckian discreteness observable in cosmology? [47.03992469282679]
A Planck scale inflationary era produces the scale invariant spectrum of inhomogeneities with very small tensor-to-scalar ratio of perturbations. Here we evoke the possibility that some of the major puzzles in cosmology would have an explanation rooted in quantum gravity.

Quantum Mechanical Reality: Entanglement and Decoherence [0.0]
We look into the ontology of quantum theory as distinct from that of the classical theory in the sciences. Within this framework, theories are conceptual constructs applying to models generated in the phenomenal world within limited contexts.

Demonstrating Quantum Microscopic Reversibility Using Coherent States of Light [58.8645797643406]
We propose and experimentally test a quantum generalization of the microscopic reversibility when a quantum system interacts with a heat bath. We verify that the quantum modification for the principle of microscopic reversibility is critical in the low-temperature limit.

Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
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.
