人工原子中时间折射对称性的检验
Testing Time Reversal Symmetry in Artificial Atoms
摘要：
在过去的几十年里，一系列丰富的实验反复验证了超导器件的量子性质，导致其中一些系统被认为是人造原子。除了在量子信息处理中的应用外，这些“原子”还为研究宏观极限下的量子力学提供了一个试验平台。关于最后一点，我们提出了一个可行的方案，通过在超导人造原子中验证微可逆性原理来直接测试时间反演对称性。时间反演对称性是量子力学的一个基本性质，如果人造原子的动力学严格遵循薛定谔方程，时间反演对称性就有望成立。然而，这种性质还没有在任何宏观量子系统中得到测试。最后，作为这项工作的一个应用，我们概述了该协议的成功实施将如何提供超导系统的量子工作波动定理的第一次验证。
英文摘要：
Over the past several decades, a rich series of experiments has repeatedly verified the quantum nature of superconducting devices, leading some of these systems to be regarded as artificial atoms. In addition to their application in quantum information processing, these `atoms' provide a test bed for studying quantum mechanics in macroscopic limits. Regarding the last point, we present here a feasible protocol for directly testing time reversal symmetry through the verification of the microreversibility principle in a superconducting artificial atom. Time reversal symmetry is a fundamental property of quantum mechanics and is expected to hold if the dynamics of the artificial atom strictly follow the Schrödinger equation. However, this property has yet to be tested in any macroscopic quantum system. In the end, as an application of this work, we outline how the successful implementation of the protocol would provide the first verification of the quantum work fluctuation theorems with superconducting systems.
