Non-Markovian Collapse Models: Analysis of the Free Particle DynamicsIn this talk I will present a non-Markovian generalisation of free particle dynamics of a quantum particle under the QMUPL model of wavefunction collapse. |

Micius Satellite and Satellite-to-Ground quantum communicationThe Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS) is a satellite research project aiming to perform proof-of-concept demonstrations of long-distance quantum communication using a satellite named Micius. |
Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Dr. Marco Oppio (PhD)
Quantum theory in real or quaternionic Hilbert spaces: how the complex Hilbert space structure emerges from Poincaré symmetryIn principle, the lattice of elementary propositions of a generic quantum system admits a representation in real, complex or quaternionic Hilbert spaces as established by Solèr’s theorem (1995) closin |
Monday, May 21, 2018 Giorgio Torrieri (Researcher, Istituto de Fisica Gleb Wataghin, DRCC, IFGW)
The Unruh effect, the equivalence principle and quantum field theoryThe idea that the Unruh effect has a role in the apparent thermalization of systems produced in hadronic collisions has gained quite a lot of popularity in the last few years [1]. |
Tuesday, May 15, 2018 Andrea Vinante (Researcher, University of Southampton)
Experimental test of collapse models and gravity-induced decoherence with mechanical systemsA breakdown of the quantum superposition principle at macroscopic scale, possibly induced by gravity, would allow to solve at the same time the quantum measurement problem and the apparent contradicti |
