Contextuality Analysis of the Double Slit Experiment (With a Glimpse Into Three Slits)
2018
The Contextuality-by-Default theory is illustrated on contextuality analysis of the idealized double-slit experiment. The experiment is described by a system of contextually labeled binary random variables each of which answers the question: has the particle hit the detector, having passed through a given slit (left or right) in a given state (open or closed)? This system of random variables is a cyclic system of rank 4, formally the same as the system describing the EPR/Bell paradigm with signaling. Unlike the latter, however, the system describing the double-slit experiment is always noncontextual, i.e., the context-dependence in it is entirely explainable in terms of direct influences of…
Otherwise than quantum
2022
AbstractThe paper focuses on two problems with Alexander Wendt's unification of physical and social ontology on the basis of quantum theory. Firstly, by endowing social phenomena with an ontological foundation in physical reality defined in quantum terms Wendt risks reducing a plurality of worlds as ‘fields of sense’, ordered by their immanent rules, to the physical world ordered by the laws of quantum theory. Secondly, by defining his quantum social science as an ontology Wendt risks excluding from consideration all that which violates ontological laws, yet may still be said to exist or take place: event, potentiality, and alterity. Although the advantages of a scientific ontology are indi…
Contextuality Analysis of the Double Slit Experiment (with a Glimpse into Three Slits)

The Contextuality-by-Default theory is illustrated on contextuality analysis of the idealized double-slit experiment. The experiment is described by a system of contextually labeled binary random variables each of which answers the question: Has the particle hit the detector, having passed through a given slit (left or right) in a given state (open or closed)? This system of random variables is a cyclic system of rank 4, formally the same as the system describing the Einsten-Podolsky-Rosen-Bell paradigm with signaling. Unlike the latter, however, the system describing the double-slit experiment is always noncontextual, i.e., the context-dependence in it is entirely explainable in terms of d…
Theory of phase-mixing amplification in an optomechanical system
2017
The investigation of the ultimate limits imposed by quantum mechanics on amplification represents an important topic both on a fundamental level and from the perspective of potential applications. We discuss here a novel regime for bosonic linear amplifiers—beside phase-insensitive and phase-sensitive amplification—which we term here phase-mixing amplification. Furthermore, we show that phase-mixing amplification can be realised in a cavity optomechanical setup, constituted by a mechanical resonator which is dispersively coupled to an optomechanical cavity asymmetrically driven around both mechanical sidebands. While, in general, this amplifier is phase-mixing, for a suitable choice of para…
Exact solutions of a Dirac equation with a varying CP-violating mass profile and coherent quasiparticle approximation
2015
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkastellaan aikariippuvan taustan omaavan Wightmanin funktion faasiavaruuden rakennetta. Aluksi esittelemme koherentin kvasihiukkasapproksimaation (cQPA), joka on epätasapainoilmiöiden tutkimiseen soveltuva lähestymistapa äärellisen lämpötilan kenttäteoriaan. Osoitamme cQPA:n avulla, että jos tarkastelemme systeemiä, joka ei ole translaatioinvariantti, sen faasiavaruudessa on perinteisten massakuoria vastaavien hiukkas- ja antihiukkasratkaisujen lisäksi uudenlaista rakennetta. Tämä hiukkasten välistä epälokaalia kvanttikoherenssia kuvaava rakenne ilmenee nollaliikemääräkuorella k_0 = 0. Seuraavaksi otamme tarkasteltavaksemme ongelman, jossa koherenssirakentee…
