Non-Markovian Collapse Models: Analysis of the Free Particle Dynamics

In this talk I will present a non-Markovian generalisation of free particle dynamics of a quantum particle under the QMUPL model of wavefunction collapse.

Wavefunction collapse and special relativity

Collapse models are proposed modifications of quantum mechanics aimed at solving the measurement problem.

Micius Satellite and Satellite-to-Ground quantum communication

The Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS) is a satellite research project aiming to perform proof-of-concept demonstrations of long-distance quantum communication using a satellite named Micius.

Quantum theory in real or quaternionic Hilbert spaces: how the complex Hilbert space structure emerges from Poincaré symmetry

In principle, the lattice of elementary propositions of a generic quantum system admits a representation in real, complex or quaternionic Hilbert spaces as established by Solèr’s theorem (1995) closin

The Unruh effect, the equivalence principle and quantum field theory

The idea that the Unruh effect has a role in the apparent thermalization of systems produced in hadronic collisions has gained quite a lot of popularity in the last few years [1].

Andrea Vinante (Researcher, University of Southampton)

Experimental test of collapse models and gravity-induced decoherence with mechanical systems

A breakdown of the quantum superposition principle at macroscopic scale, possibly induced by gravity, would allow to solve at the same time the quantum measurement problem and the apparent contradicti

Black Hole Information Loss Paradox and Collapse Models

In the first part of the talk, the basic notions of the black hole information loss paradox are presented, following [1]. Then, the proposal of S. K. Modak and D. Sudarsky [2] is described.

Gravitational Decoherence

One of the greatest predictions of general relativity is the existence of gravitational waves (GWs), which can be thought of as small perturbations of the metric propagating through spacetime at the
