A Unified Scheme of Measurement and Amplification Processes based on Micro-Macro Duality
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unified scheme for quantum measurement processes is formulated on the basis of Micro-Macro duality as a mathematical expression of the general idea of quantum-classical correspondence. In this formulation, we can naturally accommodate the amplification processes necessary for magnifying quantum state changes at the microscopic end of the probe system into the macroscopically visible motion of the measuring pointer. Its essence is exemplified and examined in the concrete model of the Stern-Gerlach experiment for spin measurement, where the Helgason duality controlling the Radon transform is seen to play essential roles.

متن کاملA unified scheme of measurement and amplification processes
We present a unified scheme of quantum measurements containing the aspects of amplification processes, or translation to macro-levels on the basis of [1], a joint work with Prof. I. Ojima. This formulation is based on micro-macro duality [2] as a mathematical expression of the general idea of quantum-classical correspondence. An essential difference between classical physics and quantum physics...
متن کاملMicro-Macro Duality in Quantum Physics
Micro-Macro Duality means here the universal mutual relations between the microscopic quantum world and various macroscopic classical levels, which can be formulated mathematically as categorical adjunctions. It underlies a unified scheme for generalized sectors based upon selection criteria proposed by myself in 2003 to control different branches of physics from a unified viewpoint, which has ...
متن کاملHow to Observe Quantum Fields and Recover Them From Observational Data? Takesaki Duality as a Micro-Macro Duality
After the mathematical notion of “Micro-Macro Duality” for understanding mutual relations between microsopic quantum systems (Micro) and their macroscopic manifestations (Macro) is explained on the basis of the notion of sectors and order parameters, a general mathematical scheme is proposed for detecting the state-structure inside of a sector through measurement processes of a maximal abelian ...
متن کاملCreating and detecting micro-macro photon-number entanglement by amplifying and deamplifying a single-photon entangled state.
We propose a scheme for the observation of micro-macro entanglement in photon number based on amplifying and deamplifying a single-photon entangled state in combination with homodyne quantum state tomography. The created micro-macro entangled state, which exists between the amplification and deamplification steps, is a superposition of two components with mean photon numbers that differ by appr...
