Title: The Universe as a Detector: A Quantum Filtering Formulation of the Diósi-Penrose Model
Authors: John Gough, Dylon Rees,
Abstract summary: We consider the quantum filter that arises from space-time homodyning the continuum of outputrature described in the open quantum model presented here.<n>This is described by a quantum Kushner-Stratonovich equation, typical of the form appearing in continuous-time collapse of the wave-function models.

Abstract: We consider the Diósi-Penrose problem but rather than postulating background gravitational fluctuations, we instead consider the quantum filter that arises from space-time homodyning the continuum of output quadrature described in the open quantum stochastic model presented here. This is described by a quantum Kushner-Stratonovich equation, typical of the form appearing in continuous-time collapse of the wave-function models in Quantum Decoherence Theory

This study investigates the evolution and interaction of quantum vortex loops with a small but non-zero radius of core. We consider small perturbations in the ring-shaped loops, which include both helical-type shape variations and small excitations of the flow in the vortex core.

The Time-Evolution of States in Quantum Mechanics [77.34726150561087]
It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

We perform a causal de Broglie-Bohm analysis, and obtain the corresponding quantum potential. An initially collapsing solution with a negative cosmological constant bounces back after reaching a minimum radius.

We report on experimental tests of topological defect formation via the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model. We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
