Deep underground experiment ruled out gravity-induced decoherence predicted by Károlyházy model after 62 days of measurements with shielded germanium detector, narrowing search for quantum-gravity unification.
Study of orientation-dependent Pauli noise in discrete-time quantum walks reveals distinct quantum-to-classical transitions, with Y-noise exhibiting unique algebraic relaxation and central suppression in spatial distributions unlike X- and Z-noise.
Novel analytical framework characterizing purity loss in quantum systems measured via Hamiltonian-pointer interactions. Derives exact spectral-gap bounds and explicit timescales for decoherence, with applications to quantum measurement readout.
