We work in quantum mechanics and its foundations: the measurement problem, the meaning of the wave function, entaglement and nonlocality, the quantum-to-classical transition, the relation between quantum theory and relativity/gravity.

Angelo Bassi publishes on PRL

September 11, 2024

Our paper "X-Ray Emission from Atomic Systems Can Distinguish between Prevailing Dynamical Wave-Function Collapse Models" published on Physical Review Letters. The work proposes a novel method to test collapse models using X-ray emissions from atomic systems. These models challenge the standard quantum theory by offering explanations for why quantum superpositions…

Laria won third place for the best poster at the "Emergence of Classicality: New Perspectives on Measurements in Quantum Theory" conference at Trinity College Dublin from 15th to 19th July 2024.

Reservoir-Free Decoherence in Flying Qubits, our research in PRL

May 30, 2024

In quantum mechanics, particles do not have a precise position but are delocalized within a certain length. For certain quantum information applications, this length is usually neglected but we managed to take it into account for a large class of interesting processes and found that it cannot always be neglected. In…

by Adam Abdalla on December 19, 2024 at 3:40 pm
This summary of the second Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of our meeting held in London in April 2024, building on the initial […]
Estimates of loss function concentration in noisy parametrized quantum circuits
by Giulio Crognaletti on October 2, 2024 at 6:00 pm
Variational quantum computing provides a versatile computational approach, applicable to a wide range of fields such as quantum chemistry, machine learning, and optimization problems. However, […]
Coherent expansion of the motional state of a massive nanoparticle beyond its linear dimensions
by R. Muffato on August 18, 2024 at 9:11 pm
Quantum mechanics predicts that massive particles exhibit wave-like behavior. Matterwave interferometry has been able to validate such predictions through ground-breaking experiments involving […]
Criticality-amplified quantum probing of a spontaneous collapse model
by Giorgio Zicari on July 12, 2024 at 2:37 pm
Spontaneous collapse models, which are phenomenological mechanisms introduced and designed to account for dynamical wavepacket reduction, are attracting a growing interest from the community […]
On the effectiveness of the collapse in the Diósi-Penrose model
by Laria Figurato on June 26, 2024 at 4:57 pm
The possibility that gravity plays a role in the collapse of the quantum wave function has been considered in the literature, and it is of relevance not only because it would provide a solution to […]
