Abstract: In this reply, I point out that the comment by Cline (arXiv:2410.05826) on my manuscripts (arXiv:2407.00954 and arXiv:2410.03133) has overlooked the critical fact that the quantum entanglement between the neutrino's mass and other degrees of freedom would destroy the quantum coherence between the mass eigenstates.

Quantum coherence between mass eigenstates of a neutrino can be destroyed by its mass-momentum entanglement [0.0]
If a neutrino or antineutrino produced in the decay of an unstable particle is not entangled to its accompanying particles, its mass is correlated with its momentum. This entanglement would destroy the quantum coherence between the neutrino's mass eigenstates in both the momentum and position representations.

Neutrino oscillations originate from virtual excitation of Z bosons [0.0]
neutrino oscillations originate from virtual excitation of the Z bosonic field over the space. When the neutrino propagates in matter, its behavior is determined by the competition between the coherent flavor transformation and decoherence effect resulting from scatterings.

Ultracold Neutrons in the Low Curvature Limit: Remarks on the post-Newtonian effects [49.1574468325115]
We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

Probing the symmetry breaking of a light--matter system by an ancillary qubit [50.591267188664666]
Hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong, and even more in the deep-strong, coupling regimes can exhibit exotic physical phenomena. We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator. This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime.

Quantum coherence in neutrino oscillation in matter [0.0]
neutrino oscillation occurs because the quantum states of the produced and detected neutrinos are a coherent superposition of the mass eigenstates. We consider the decoherence due to the neutrino interaction in the material medium with constant density in addition to the decoherence coming from the localization properties.

Experimental observation of thermalization with noncommuting charges [53.122045119395594]
Noncommuting charges have emerged as a subfield at the intersection of quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. We simulate a Heisenberg evolution using laser-induced entangling interactions and collective spin rotations. We find that small subsystems equilibrate to near a recently predicted non-Abelian thermal state.

Intrinsic quantum coherence in particle oscillations [0.0]
In this talk, several inconsistencies of the standard approach to particle oscillations will be explained. The massive neutrino states are interpreted as quasiparticles on a vacuum condensate of "Cooper pairs" of massless neutrinos. The newly defined oscillating particle states are for neutrino oscillations what the Klauder--Sudarshan--Glauber coherent states are for quantum optics.

The Neutrino Casimir Force [77.34726150561087]

Theory of Neutrino Detection -- Flavor Oscillations and Weak Values [0.0]
We show that, in the relativistic limit, the quantum theory of neutrino oscillations can be described through the theory of weak measurements. We write down the flavor equation of motion and calculate the flavor oscillation probability by showing precisely how a single neutrino interferes with itself.
