• Abstract: We explore the possibility of testing in collider experiments whether phase-space variables are separable. We first study phase-space non-separability by means of EPR-like correlations. The original EPR setting is realized in an actual experiment, specifically in terms of coordinates and momenta, as per the original formulation, rather than spins or polarizations. We then show how to quantify the entanglement in the momenta of particle pairs by reducing the continuous variables to a two-qubit system through hemispherical projections. We discuss in detail the production of $τ$-leptons at an electron collider, reconstructing the momenta of the former from their decays into pions and neutrinos, and demonstrate through a Monte Carlo simulation that phase-space non-separability can be experimentally assessed.

  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.

  We investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of the phase diagram at half- and incommensurate fillings, in the mean-field approximation. We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

• Long-Time Correlations in Single-Neutron Interferometry Data [0.0]
  Correlations of the time differences observed in the experiment can be reproduced by assuming that, for a fixed setting of the phase shifter, the phase shift experienced by the neutrons varies periodically in time with a period of 2.8 s. Our analysis of the experimental data suggests that time-stamped data of singleparticle interference experiments may exhibit transient features.

  We investigate one such control protocol that demonstrates the resonant amplification of quasimomentum pairs from a Bose-Einstein condensate. A classical external field that excites pairs of particles with the same energy but opposite momenta is reminiscent of the coherently-driven nonlinearity in a parametric amplifier crystal.
