The Curious Quantum Mechanics of Pre- and Post-Selected Ensembles
In a provocative paper, (~) Albert, Aharonov, and D'Amato proposed an analysis of preand post-selected ensembles in quantum mechanics (PPS ensembles) which seemed to show that in the interval between preand post-selection, certain noncommuting observables all have determinate values. Moreover, these values are context dependent: The value assumed by a degenerate observable (e.g., an observable ...
متن کاملSecure Key Distribution via Pre- and Post-Selected Quantum Ensembles
A quantum key distribution scheme whose security depends on the features of preand post-selected quantum ensembles is described. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz, 42.80.Sa, 89.70.+c A wide variety of quantum key distribution schemes have been proposed, following the original Bennett and Brassard protocol [1]. Ekert [2] has described a scheme in which two parties, Alice and Bob, create a shared random key...
متن کاملPre- and post-selection paradoxes and contextuality in quantum mechanics.
Many seemingly paradoxical effects are known in the predictions for outcomes of intermediate measurements made on pre- and post-selected quantum systems. Despite appearances, these effects do not demonstrate the impossibility of a noncontextual hidden variable theory, since an explanation in terms of measurement disturbance is possible. Nonetheless, we show that for every paradoxical effect whe...

متن کاملQuantum Mechanics and the Mechanism of Sexual Reproduction
There are many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms. The mechanism of the meiosis, mitosis and gametes life cycle from the view-point of quantum for human has been represented. The quantum gates have been used to simulate these processes for the first time. The reason of several hundred sperms has been explained in the male too
