Testing the limits of quantum mechanics using micro-magnetomechanical systems

I propose to experimentally investigate micro-magnetomechanical systems made of superconducting particles with size in the micron range, levitated in a magnetic trap.

Functional Derivatives

Functional derivatives are very useful mathematical tools belonging to functional analysis that apply successfully in developing mathematical theory of quantum field theory and other branches of advan

Basic Concepts on Ergodic Theory (Part 2)

In this talk (one or two talks depending on how it goes) I will outline basic concepts about ergodic theory, Boltzmann's ergodic hyphothesis and the concept of a deterministic system behaving in

On a class of determinist models for emergent quantum mechanics

In this talk we discuss some models for emergent quantum mechanics in the line of 't Hooft's approach.

A sufficient condition for complete positivity

The evolution equations of the statistical operator are (often) subject to the natural request of complete positivity (CP).

Non-Markovianity - Semigroup Definition

A way to construct a dynamics which seems to present memory effects will be presented. A specific example will be presented and studied.

Gisin's theorem and no-faster-than-light signaling

One way to study possible theories beyond standard quantum theory is to modify Schrodinger equation by adding new terms.

Faster than light I: Axiomatic foundations of special relativity, tachyons, and causal paradoxes

This talk is supposed to be the first in a series, discussing the problem of faster-than-light signalling appearing in realistic quantum theories as a consequence of quantum non-locality. We review h

The conditional wave function and its dynamics

At the end of the previous seminar we quickly introduced the concept of conditional wave function.
