Instantaneous measurements of nonlocal variables

چکیده
Relativistic causality imposes rigid restrictions on nondemolition (repeatable) measurements of nonlocal variables. We show that there are no causal restrictions on demolition (nonrepeatable) measurements: all Hermitian operators of multipartite quantum system can be measured instantaneously, provided unlimited supply of entanglement resources.

Instantaneous measurement of nonlocal variables.
It is shown, under the assumption of the possibility to perform an arbitrary local operation, that all nonlocal variables related to two or more separate sites can be measured instantaneously, except for a finite time required for bringing to one location the classical records from these sites which yield the result of the measurement. It is a verification measurement: it yields reliably the ei...
متن کاملInstantaneous Measurement of Nonlocal Variables
We ask the question: is it possible to measure nonlocal properties of a state instantaneously? Relativistic causality restricts how this can be done, but we show here, for the bipartite two dimensional case, that every nonlocal variable of the system can be measured instantaneously. A necessary condition for a general nonlocal measurement on a bipartite system is presented. This essay was writt...
متن کاملIncoherent surface solitons in effectively instantaneous nonlocal nonlinear media
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically random-phase surface solitons in effectively instantaneous nonlinear media. The key mechanism for self-trapping is played by a nonlocal nature of the nonlinearity, in contrast to other incoherent solitons involving time averaging. These incoherent surface solitons display features different from their bulk counterparts and from other surface waves.
متن کاملAutomatic measurement of instantaneous changes in the walls of carotid artery with sequential ultrasound images
Introduction: This study presents a computerized analyzing method for detection of instantaneous changes of far and near walls of the common carotid artery in sequential ultrasound images by applying the maximum gradient algorithm. Maximum gradient was modified and some characteristics were added from the dynamic programming algorithm for our applications. Methods: The algorithm was evaluat...
متن کاملSimulating maximal quantum entanglement without communication.
It is known that all causal correlations between two parties which output each 1 bit, a and b, when receiving each 1 bit, x and y, can be expressed as convex combinations of local correlations (i.e., correlations that can be simulated with local random variables) and nonlocal correlations of the form a+b=xy mod 2. We show that a single instance of the latter elementary nonlocal correlation suff...
