Lectures on dynamical models for quantum measurements
- Physics
- 2014
In textbooks, ideal quantum measurements are described in terms of the tested system only by the collapse postulate and Born's rule. This level of description offers a rather flexible position for…
Simultaneous measurement of two noncommuting quantum variables : Solution of a dynamical model
- Physics
- 2016
The possibility of performing simultaneous measurements in quantum mechanics is investigated in the context of the Curie-Weiss model for a projective measurement. Concretely, we consider a spin-1/2…
Emergences in Quantum Measurement Processes

Abstract Quantum mechanics is acknowledged as the fundamental theory on which the whole fabric of physics is supposed to rely. And yet, the features of quantum measurements, processes that provide…
Quantum mechanics via quantum tomography

We develop a statistical model of microscopic stochastic deviation from classical mechanics based on a stochastic process with a transition probability that is assumed to be given by an exponential…
Non-Markovian quantum measurements in the non-invasive limit

In many real quantum systems the measurement is much less invasive than described by the projection postulate. For example, it is performed by weakly coupling a detector for a finite time to the…
Collective Dynamics in NMR and Quantum Noise
- Computer Science, Physics

An open quantum system model to describe the statistical fluctuations of a spin ensemble in NMR and the symmetry of the hetronuclear dipolar relaxation is analyzed, which is one of the responsible mechanisms for observing a noise protected state.
von Neumann spin measurements with Rashba fields
