Quantum point contacts: Double or nothing?

The increasing sensitivity of the system to environmental decoherence can be usedto support the macroscopic character of the quantum state. However, to be even more faithful to Schrdingers paradigm, one needs to generate two macroscopic states that can be classically discriminated. This condition ca...

Zusammenfassung:The increasing sensitivity of the system to environmental decoherence can be usedto support the macroscopic character of the quantum state. However, to be even more faithful to Schrdingers paradigm, one needs to generate two macroscopic states that can be classically discriminated. This condition can be translated into the single-shot state distinguishability using detectors with no microscopic resolution.
