• Abstract summary: We present a classical analog of interaction-free measurement using the hydrodynamic pilot-wave system. We argue that existing rationalizations of interaction-free quantum measurement in terms of particles being guided by wave forms allow for a classical description manifest in our hydrodynamic system.

• Abstract: Interaction-free measurement is thought to allow for quantum particles to detect objects along paths they never traveled. As such, it represents one of the most beguiling of quantum phenomena. Here, we present a classical analog of interaction-free measurement using the hydrodynamic pilot-wave system, in which a droplet self-propels across a vibrating fluid surface, guided by a wave of its own making. We argue that existing rationalizations of interaction-free quantum measurement in terms of particles being guided by wave forms allow for a classical description manifest in our hydrodynamic system, wherein the measurement is decidedly not interaction-free.

  We find that bath dynamical decoupling works if and only if the kick is ergodic. We study in which circumstances CPTP kicks on a mono-partite quantum system induce quantum Zeno dynamics with its Hamiltonian cancelled out.

  The quantum regression theorem states that the correlations of a system at two different times are governed by the same equations of motion as the temporal response of the average values. Here we experimentally demonstrate that the two-time particle number correlations in a photon Bose-Einstein condensate inside a dye-filled microcavity exhibit the same dynamics as the response of the condensate to a sudden perturbation of the dye molecule bath. This confirms the regression theorem for a quantum gas and, moreover, establishes a test of this relation in an unconventional form where the perturbation acts on the bath and only the condensate response is monitored.

  In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically. In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

  We implement an experimental architecture in which a single atom of K is trapped in an optical tweezer, and is immersed in a bath of Rb atoms at ultralow temperatures. We concentrate on the characterization and control of the interactions between the two subsystems. Our results open a range of new possibilities in quantum simulations of quantum impurity models, quantum information, and quantum thermodynamics.

We experimentally quantify the resulting wavefunction change in terms of the contrast of a Ramsey interferometer. This result is a necessary precursor for achieving true quantum back-action limited measurements of quantum gases.

  We show that the values of physical properties obtained in quantum measurements originate from the quantum coherent system dynamics associated with the back-action on the system.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
