• Abstract: We provide a solution for decoherence in spatial superpositions due to scattering/collision with air molecules. This result reproduces the short- and long-wavelength limits known in the literature. We compare the decoherence rate with several existing interpolations in the literature and evaluate the decoherence rate and experimental parameters when creating macroscopic quantum spatial superpositions (i.e., micron-size spheres). Finally, we consider the decoherence rate's time dependence while creating and closing the spatial superposition in an interferometer setup.

• Topological Casimir effect for fermionic condensate in AdS spacetime with compact dimensions [0.0]
  We investigate combined effects of gravitational field and spatial topology on the fermionic condensate (FC) for a massive Dirac field in locally anti-de Sitter spacetime. For proper lengths of compact dimensions smaller than the AdS curvature radius the influence of the gravitational field is weak. For large proper lengths the decay of the topological FC follows a power law for both massless and massive field.

  We investigate the phenomenon of entanglement harvesting for a spacetime in quantum superposition. We find that the superposed nature of spacetime induces interference effects that can significantly enhance entanglement for both twisted and untwisted field.

Within this framework, we derive a replicated Keldysh non-linear sigma model (NLSM) By using the renormalization-group approach for the NLSM, we determine the phase diagram and the scaling of physical observables.

  We use real-time methods to determine scattering amplitudes of few-hadron systems for arbitrary kinematics. In units of the lightest mass of the theory, we find that to constrain amplitudes using real-time methods within $mathcalO(10%)$, the spacetime volumes must satisfy $mL sim mathcalO(10-102)$ and $ mTsim mathcalO(102-104)$.

• Probing pair correlations in Fermi gases with Ramsey-Bragg interferometry [41.94295877935867]
  We propose an interferometric method to probe pair correlations in a gas of spin-1/2 fermions. The method consists of a Ramsey sequence where both spin states of the Fermi gas are set in a superposition of a state at rest and a state with a large recoil velocity. The off-diagonal long-range order is directly reflected in the behavior of the interferometric signal for long interrogation times.

• Universal role of curvature in vacuum entanglement [0.0]
  We highlight some universal features concerning the role of spacetime curvature in the entanglement induced between quantum probes coupled to a quantum field in a suitable vacuum state. Our analysis shows that curvature can induce entanglement features in certain regions of the above parameter space, in a manner which facilitates using entanglement as a probe of spacetime curvature.

• Continuous percolation in a Hilbert space for a large system of qubits [58.720142291102135]
  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.
