چکیده
A Ramsey interrogation scheme was used to measure the phase shift of laser-cooled Rb clocktransition pseudospins arising as a result of a reversal of a bias magnetic field, i.e., B → −B, during the interrogation. While no phase shift occurred when the reversal was sudden, the Ramsey fringes were shifted by a factor of π when the reversal was adiabatic. We thus verified the prediction that the spin states |F,m = 0〉 acquire a purely topological and parity-dependent phase factor of (−1) as a result of B → −B.

The quantum state of a system of n qubits can be represented by a Wigner function on a discrete phase space, each axis of the phase space taking values in the finite field F 2 n. Within this framework, we show that one can make sense of the notion of a " rotationally invariant state " of any collection of qubits, and that any such state is, in a well defined sense, a state of minimum uncertainty.

The central claim that understanding quantum mechanics requires a conscious observer, which is made made by B. Rosenblum and F. Kuttner in their book ”Quantum Enigma: Physics encounters consciousnes”, is shown to be based on various misunderstandings and distortions of the foundations of quantum mechanics.
