Abstract: In the standard von Neumann interaction used in Quantum measurements, the chosen observable to which the environment (apparatus) entangles is exactly reproduced in the state of the environment, thereby decohering the quantum system in the eigenbasis of the observable. We relax this by allowing for imperfect measurements whereby the environment evolves to a state that approximately, but not exactly, reflects the state of the system. In this scheme it is possible to attain approximate decoherence of conjugate quantities that resembles classical physics, which we demonstrate using an example.

Physical consequences of gauge optimization in quantum open systems evolutions [44.99833362998488]
We show that gauge transformations can be exploited, on their own, to optimize practical physical tasks. First, we describe the inherent structure of the underlying symmetries in quantum Markovian dynamics. We then analyze examples of optimization in quantum thermodynamics.

Equilibration of objective observables in a dynamical model of quantum measurements [0.0]
This paper builds on the Quantum Darwinism framework derived to explain the emergence of the classical world. We establish a measurement error bound to quantify the probability an observer will obtain an incorrect measurement outcome. Using this error bound, we show that the objectifying observables readily equilibrate on average under the set of Hamiltonians.

Daemonic ergotropy in continuously-monitored open quantum batteries [0.0]
daemonic ergotropy is introduced to properly describe and quantify this work extraction enhancement in the quantum regime. We show that the corresponding daemonic ergotropy takes values between the ergotropy and the energy of the corresponding unconditional state. The upper bound is achieved by assuming an initial pure state and a perfectly efficient projective measurement on the environment.

Measurement in a Unitary World [0.0]
This article explores how measurement can be understood in the context of a universe evolving according to unitary (reversible) quantum dynamics. A unitary measurement procedure is developed consistent with the non-measurements of quantum mechanics wherein the system being measured and the observer become correlated.

We aim to shed some light on the quantum-to-classical transition as seen through the analysis of uncertainty relations. We employ entropic uncertainty relations to show that it is only by the inclusion of imprecision in our model of macroscopic measurements that we can prepare a system with two simultaneously well-defined quantities.
