量子蒙娜丽莎猫

Quantum Mona Lisa Cat

Rashid Ahmad, Sumaira Nawaz

摘要:

薛定谔的猫是由埃尔温·薛定谔提出的,这是一个臭名昭著的思想实验,在这个实验中,一只猫在盒子里同时活着和死了,说明了一种被称为叠加的量子现象。2013年,Yakir Aharonov和他的合作者设想了一个实验,表明粒子可以与其属性分离。他们称这种效应为“量子柴郡猫”,并在随后的一年里得到了实验验证。量子柴郡猫这个名字的灵感来自于刘易斯·卡罗尔写的小说《\textit{Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"}》中柴郡猫的一个奇特的角色,在这本小说中,猫的笑容是在没有猫的情况下发现的。一旦柴郡猫的咧嘴笑被分离,咧嘴笑和猫之间还有什么联系吗?为了回答这个问题,我们提出了一个思想实验,在这个实验中,量子柴郡猫也是一只薛定谔猫,存在于快乐(微笑)和悲伤(皱眉)状态的叠加中。我们将这只猫命名为“量子蒙娜丽莎猫”,因为历史上人们认为蒙娜丽莎的肖像包含了快乐(微笑)和悲伤(皱眉)的特征,并且根据观察者的情绪来观察。我们证明了与粒子分离的性质表现为“量子蒙娜丽莎猫”。

英文摘要:

Schrödinger's Cat was proposed by Erwin Schrödinger, the infamous thought experiment in which a cat in a box was both alive and dead simultaneously illustrating a quantum phenomenon known as superposition. In 2013, Yakir Aharonov and his co-authors conceived of an experiment suggesting that a particle can be separated from its property. They called the effect a "Quantum Cheshire Cat" that has been experimentally verified in the succeeding year. The name Quantum Cheshire Cat is inspired from a fanciful character of the Cheshire Cat in "\textit{Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"} a novel written by Lewis Carroll where the grin of cat is found without a cat. An important question arises here. Once the grin of the Cheshire Cat is separated, is there any correlation still left between the grin and the cat? To answer the question we propose a thought experiment in which Quantum Cheshire Cat is also a Schrödinger's Cat existing in superposition of happy(smiling) and sad(frowning) states. We name this cat as a "Quantum Mona Lisa Cat" for the reason that historically it is presumed that Mona Lisa's portrait contains both characteristics of happy(smiling) and sad(frowning) and either is observed depending upon the mood of the observer. We show that property separated from particle behave as "Quantum Mona Lisa Cat".
