چکیده

We investigate the outcomes of measurements on correlated, few-body quantum systems described by a quaternionic quantum mechanics that allows for regions of quaternionic curvature. We find that a multi-particle interferometry experiment using a correlated system of four nonrelativistic, spin-half particles has the potential to detect the presence of quaternionic curvature. Two-body systems, however, are shown to give predictions identical to those of standard quantum mechanics when relative angles are used in the construction of the operators corresponding to measurements of particle spin components.

Relativistic Quaternionic Wave Equation II

Further results are reported for the one-component quaternionic wave equation recently introduced. A Lagrangian is found for the momentum-space version of the free equation; and another, nonlocal in time, is found for the complete equation. Further study of multiparticle systems has us looking into the mathematics of tensor products of Hilbert spaces. The principles of linearity and superpositi...

Density Uctuations in Multiparticle Production at High Energies

Besides being important to describe high energy processes themselves, the dynamics of multiparticle production is part of the general eld of non-linear phenomena and complex systems. Multiparticle dynamics is one of the rare elds of physics where higher order correlations are directly accessible in their full multi-dimensional characteristics under well controlled experimental conditions. This ...

Quantum mutual information and quantumness vectors for multi-qubit systems

Characterization of the correlations of a multiparticle system remains an open problem. We generalize the notion of quantum discord, using multivariate mutual information, to characterize the quantum properties of a multiparticle system. This new measure, called dissension, is a set of numbers – quantumness vector. There are a number of different possible generalizations. We consider two of the...

We investigate the quantum transport in a generalized N-particle Hanbury Brown–Twiss setup enclosing magnetic flux, and demonstrate that the Nth-order cumulant of current cross correlations exhibits Aharonov-Bohm oscillations, while there is no such oscillation in all the lower-order cumulants. The multiparticle interference results from the orbital Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger entanglement of N...

Experimental Status of Quaternionic Quantum Mechanics

Analysis of the logical foundations of quantum mechanics indicates the possibility of constructing a theory using quaternionic Hilbert spaces. Whether this mathematical structure reflects reality is a matter for experiment to decide. We review the only direct search for quaternionic quantum mechanics yet carried out and outline a recent proposal by the present authors to look for quaternionic e...
