Superpositions of time evolutions of a quantum system and a quantum time-translation machine

Aharonov, Yakir, Anandan, Jeeva, Popescu, Sandu, Vaidman, Lev·1990·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A method to obtain a superposition of time evolutions of a quantum system which correspond to different Hamiltonians as well as to different periods of time is derived. Its application to amplification of an effect due to the action of weak forces is considered. A quantum time-translation machine based on the same principle, utilizing the gravitational field, is also considered.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
