Enhancing non-classicality in mechanical systems

چکیده
We study the effects of post-selection measurements on both the non-classicality of the state of a mechanical oscillator and the entanglement between two mechanical systems that are part of a distributed optomechanical network. We address the cases of both Gaussian and nonGaussian measurements, identifying in which cases simple photon counting and Geiger-like measurements are effective in distilling a strongly non-classical mechanical state and enhancing the purely mechanical entanglement between two elements of the network.

Classicality in Quantum Mechanics
In this article we propose a solution to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. We point out that the measurement problem can be traced to an a priori notion of classicality in the formulation of quantum mechanics. If this notion of classicality is dropped and instead classicality is defined in purely quantum mechanical terms the measurement problem can be avoided. We give such a definit...
متن کاملNon-classicality and entanglement of symmetric multiqubit states
Quantum vs classical conceptions of nature continue to draw attention from the early days of quantum theory. Understanding decisive quantum features for which no classical explanation exist and their interrelations is of foundational significance. Further, identifying non-classical features is important in information processing tasks as it offers insights as to why quantum protocols outperform...
متن کاملInformation measures and classicality in quantum mechanics
We study information measures in quantum mechanics, with the particular emphasis on providing a quantification of the notion of predictability and classicality. Our primary tool is the Shannon Wehrl entropy I. We give a precise criterion for phase space classicality of states and argue that in view of this a) I provides a good measure for the degree of deviation from classicality in closed syst...
متن کاملStudy of Quantum Decoherence in a Finite System. Three Schrödinger Cats and Crossing of Classical Orbits
Nuclei are rather classical systems in a sense. In the old days, their phenomena were roughly explained in classical rules such as the liquid drop model. This fact may be understood that when we see an finite quantum many body system like nucleus, though which is a group of quantum mechanical particles, its any collective degree of freedom has any classicality. Getting a classicality does not d...
