A universal test for gravitational decoherence
Quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity are presently not compatible. A particular question is whether gravity causes decoherence. Several models for gravitational decoherence have been proposed, not all of which can be described quantum mechanically. Since quantum mechanics may need to be modified, one may question the use of quantum mechanics as a calculational tool to draw conclusions fr...
متن کاملGravitational decoherence of atomic interferometers
We study the decoherence of atomic interferometers due to the scattering of stochastic gravitational waves. We evaluate the ‘direct’ gravitational effect registered by the phase of the matter waves as well as the ‘indirect’ effect registered by the light waves used as beam-splitters and mirrors for the matter waves. Considering as an example the space project HYPER, we show that both effects ar...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of decoherence-free one-way information transfer.
We report the experimental demonstration of a one-way quantum protocol reliably operating in the presence of decoherence. Information is protected by designing an appropriate decoherence-free sub-space for a cluster state resource. We demonstrate our scheme in an all-optical setup, encoding the information into the polarization states of four photons. A measurement-based one-way information-tra...
متن کاملQuantum gravitational decoherence of matter waves
One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics is the unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity. The lack of experimental guidance has made the issue extremely evasive, though various attempts have been made to relate the loss of matter wave coherence to quantum spacetime fluctuations. We present a new approach to the gravitational decoherence near the Planck scale, made possible...
متن کاملSpin Decoherence in a Gravitational Field
We discuss a mechanism of spin decoherence in gravitation within the framework of general relativity. The spin state of a particle moving in a gravitational field is shown to decohere due to the curvature of spacetime. As an example, we analyze a particle going around a static spherically-symmetric object. PACS: 03.65.Ta, 04.20.-q, 03.67.-a
