• Authors: Dibya S. Chattopadhyay, Amol Dighe
• Abstract summary: We propose a measure of quantumness in neutrino oscillations, which precisely extracts the interference term in the two-flavor limit. These measures are applicable for long-baseline and reactor neutrino experiments that measure neutrino survival probabilities with negligible matter effects.

• Abstract: The quantum nature of neutrino oscillations would be reflected in the mismatch between the neutrino survival probabilities with and without an intermediate observation. We propose this ``quantum mismatch'' as a measure of quantumness in neutrino oscillations, which precisely extracts the interference term in the two-flavor limit. In the full three-flavor scenario, we provide modified definitions of the Leggett-Garg and quantum mismatch measures. These are applicable for long-baseline and reactor neutrino experiments that measure neutrino survival probabilities with negligible matter effects.

  Coherence is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics and can be precisely defined within quantum resource theory. Previous studies on quantum coherence have focused on neutrino flavor oscillations (FO) In this work, we investigate quantum coherence in neutrino SFO with three flavor mixing within the interstellar as well as intergalactic magnetic fields.

  Embezzlement of entanglement refers to the counterintuitive possibility of extracting entangled quantum states from a reference state of an auxiliary system. We uncover a deep connection between the operational task of embezzling entanglement and the mathematical classification of von Neumann algebras.

• Role of non-gaussian quantum fluctuations in neutrino entanglement [0.0]
  neutrino-neutrino coherent scattering can give rise to nontrivial quantum entanglement among neutrinos. We observe that the entanglement induced by the coupling leads to strong delocalization in phase-space with largely non-Gaussian quantum fluctuations. The link between the neutrino entanglement and quantum fluctuations is illustrated using the one- and two-neutrino entropy.

  We offer an interferometric procedure for phase parameters estimation at the Heisenberg (up to 1/N) and super-Heisenberg scaling levels. The heart of our setup is the novel soliton Josephson Junction (SJJ) system providing the formation of the quantum probe. We illustrate that such states are close to the optimal ones even with moderate losses.
