• Abstract: We propose a nonlocal flux-transfer experiment in which a quantized magnetic-field excitation confined within one toroidal superconducting structure is coherently transferred to a spatially separated toroid without magnetic-field occupation of the intervening region. The transfer arises from quantized Aharonov-Bohm-type vector potential coupling mediated by a superconducting loop threading the toroids, which, however, remains in the ground state, acting only through a global fluxoid constraint. A direct experimental signature would be the observation of correlated, time-resolved flux exchange between remote toroids in a SQUID readout. We analyze an apparent signaling paradox related to this interaction as a probe of the broader question of whether spatiotemporal quantum coherence is fundamentally bounded. The proposed setup can provide an experimental testbed for addressing foundational questions such as the existence of an objective collapse of a wavefunction or the fundamental limits of macroscopic quantum coherence which is relevant to large scale quantum computers.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
