Title: Restrictions imposed by a pure quantum state on the results of measuring the momentum of a particle
Authors: N. L. Chuprikov,
Abstract summary: It is shown that quantum mechanics, including the Born rule for calculating the expectation values of observables for a particle in a given pure state, imposes statistical restrictions on the results of measuring observables. However, these restrictions are not as strong as follows from Bohm mechanics. The key role here is played by the fact that one of the contributions to the Bohm potential' is actually a contribution to the field characterizing the kinetic energy of the particle.

Abstract: It is shown that quantum mechanics, including the Born rule for calculating the expectation values of observables for a particle in a given pure state and the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, imposes not only statistical restrictions on the results of measuring observables, but also restrictions on the values of observables themselves that are subject to measurement. However, these restrictions are not as strong as follows from Bohm mechanics. In particular, the quantum formalism defines in the configuration space not one, but two fields of the particle momentum. Both fields satisfy the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. And the key role here is played by the fact that one of the contributions to the Bohm `potential' is actually a contribution to the field characterizing the kinetic energy of the particle.

Quantifying non-Hermiticity using single- and many-particle quantum properties [14.37149160708975]
The non-Hermitian paradigm of quantum systems displays salient features drastically different from Hermitian counterparts. We propose a formalism that quantifies the (dis-)similarity of these right and left ensembles, for single- as well as many-particle quantum properties. Our findings can be instrumental in unveiling new exotic quantum phases of non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems.

We propose a model describing spin-half quantum particles in curved spacetime. We find that spin precesses in a normal Fermi frame, even in the absence of torsion. We also find that (elementary) fermions and antifermions are indistinguishable in gravity.

Spin operator, Bell nonlocality and Tsirelson bound in quantum-gravity induced minimal-length quantum mechanics [0.0]
We show that the spin operator acquires a momentum-dependent contribution in quantum mechanics equipped with a minimal length. Among other consequences, this modification induces a form of quantum nonlocality stronger than the one arising in ordinary quantum mechanics.

Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

Experimental quantum phase discrimination enhanced by controllable indistinguishability-based coherence [13.745478068219699]
Coherence emerges in a fundamentally different way for nonidentical and identical particles. We experimentally demonstrate this additional contribution to quantum coherence. Our experiment proves that independent indistinguishable particles can supply a controllable resource of coherence.
