From a theoretical point of view, such a non-locality can be interpreted as a consequence of the correlation between commuting observables. A more general concept, i.e. contextuality, compared to non-locality can be introduced to describe striking phenomena predicted by quantum theory. As the first example, a neutron interferometer experiment is presented, where the spin and the path degrees of freedom are used to exhibit the clear violation of a Bell-like inequality. Other aspects of the quantum contextuality is reported, e.g. a flavor of Kochen-Specker-like contradiction in neutron optical experiments. In addition, the quantum state tomography of the Bell states, which are used in the experiments, is shown.","PeriodicalId":150867,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physica Hungarica B) Quantum Electronics","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121610436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, in a magnetic field the spin state of a neutron traces out a particular path in its spherical shaped state space and the geometric phase acquired during this evolution reflects the curvature of this sphere. But the geometric phase is not only restricted to the spinor wave function, also the path of the neutron in an interferometer gives rise to a non trivial momentum state space and consequently to a geometric phase. Experimental results for a non-cyclic evolution are presented that are in agreement with theoretical predictions derived purely from geometrical considerations. By obeying a parallel transport condition dynamical contributions could largely be avoided and the measured phase is of geometric nature.","PeriodicalId":150867,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physica Hungarica B) Quantum Electronics","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125971677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The local field correction is derived consistently from the conventional interaction Hamiltonian and adjusted to presence of a dielectric host.

The model can describe the time evolution of the spin degree of freedom in molecular nanomagnets, and our ‘exact numerical’ treatment of the problem reflects the staircase-like behavior of the experimentally observed magnetization curves. This effect is explained in terms of the level structure, which, at certain values of the external magnetic field, exhibits avoided crossings where the probability of the transitions increases. We show that the multilevel nature of the problem causes these transition probabilities to deviate significantly from the predictions of the traditional Landau-Zener-Stückelberg model.","PeriodicalId":150867,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physica Hungarica B) Quantum Electronics","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116402580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
