نویسنده
چکیده
Recently doubts have been raised about the ability of pilot wave theories with field ontology to recover the predictions of quantum field theory. In particular, Struyve has questioned that the overlap between wave func-tionals of macroscopically different states with fixed particle number is really non-significant. With numerical computations and some further plausibility arguments we show that the overlap between n-particle states in field theory decreases almost exponentially with the number of particles and becomes non-significant already for small particle numbers.

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 s...

We reply to claims (by Deutsch, Zeh, Brown andWallace) that the pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm is really a many-worlds theory with a superfluous configuration appended to one of the worlds. Assuming that pilot-wave theory does contain an ontological pilot wave (a complex-valued field in configuration space), we show that such claims arise from not interpreting pilot-wave theory on its...

The Shor algorithm [1] to factor numbers and its NMRimplementation [2] have propelled the field of quantum computation [3]. Recently a different factorization scheme [4] taking advantage of the periodicity properties of Gauss sums [5] has been proposed [6] and verified by two NMR-experiments [7, 8] and one experiment based on short laser pulses [9]. In the present paper we report the first impl...
