The fundamental sources of noise in a vacuum-tunneling probe used as an electromechanical transducer to monitor the location of a test mass are examined using a first-quantization formalism. We show that a tunneling transducer enforces the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for the position and momentum of a test mass monitored by the transducer through the presence of two sources of noise: the shot noise of the tunneling current and the momentum fluctuations transferred by the tunneling electrons to the test mass. We analyze a number of cases including symmetric and asymmetric rectangular potential barriers and a barrier in which there is a constant electric field. Practical configurations for reaching the quantum limit in measurements of the position of macroscopic bodies with such a class of transducers are studied.

Recent progress in observing and manipulating mechanical oscillators at quantum regime provides new opportunities of studying fundamental physics, for example, to search for low energy signatures of quantum gravity. For example, it was recently propo
sed that such devices can be used to test quantum gravity effects, by detecting the change in the [x,p] commutation relation that could result from quantum gravity corrections. We show that such a correction results in a dependence of a resonant frequency of a mechanical oscillator on its amplitude, which is known as amplitude-frequency effect. By implementing this new method we measure amplitude-frequency effect for 0.3 kg ultra high-Q sapphire split-bar mechanical resonator and for 10 mg quartz bulk acoustic wave resonator. Our experiments with sapphire resonator have established the upper limit on quantum gravity correction constant for $beta_0<5 times10^6$ which is a factor of 6 better than previously detected. The reasonable estimates of $beta_0$ from experiments with quartz resonators yield an even more stringent limit of $4times10^4$. The data sets of 1936 measurement of physical pendulum period by Atkinson results in significantly stronger limitations on $beta_0 ll 1$. Yet, due to the lack of proper pendulum frequency stability measurement in these experiments, the exact upper bound on $beta_0$ can not be reliably established. Moreover, pendulum based systems only allow testing a specific form of the modified commutator that depends on the mean value of momentum. The electro-mechanical oscillators to the contrary enable testing of any form of generalized uncertainty principle directly due to much higher stability and a higher degree of control.
We study the quantum-mechanical uncertainty relation originating from the successive measurement of two observables $hat{A}$ and $hat{B}$, with eigenvalues $a_n$ and $b_m$, respectively, performed on the same system. We use an extension of the von Ne
umann model of measurement, in which two probes interact with the same system proper at two successive times, so we can exhibit how the disturbing effect of the first interaction affects the second measurement. Detecting the statistical properties of the second {em probe} variable $Q_2$ conditioned on the first {em probe} measurement yielding $Q_1$ we obtain information on the statistical distribution of the {em system} variable $b_m$ conditioned on having found the system variable $a_n$ in the interval $delta a$ around $a^{(n)}$. The width of this statistical distribution as function of $delta a$ constitutes an {em uncertainty relation}. We find a general connection of this uncertainty relation with the commutator of the two observables that have been measured successively. We illustrate this relation for the successive measurement of position and momentum in the discrete and in the continuous cases and, within a model, for the successive measurement of a more general class of observables.
This paper deduces universal uncertainty principle in different quantum theories after about one century of proposing uncertainty principle by Heisenberg, i.e., new universal uncertainty principle of any orders of physical quantities in quantum physi
cs, overcomes the difficulty that current quantum computer, quantum communication, quantum control, quantum mechanics and so on theories cannot give exact values of general uncertainty of any orders of physical quantities, further gives all relevant different expressions of the universal uncertainty principle and their applications. In fact, our studies are consistent with current theories and physical factual experiments, e.g., relevant to hydrogen atom physics experiments. Using the new universal uncertainty principle, people can give all applications to atomic physics, quantum mechanics, quantum communication, quantum calculations, quantum computer and so on.
Previously, we presented a new interpretation of quantum mechanics that revealed it is indeed possible to have a local hidden variable that is consistent with Bells inequality experiments. In that article we suggested that the local hidden variable i
s associated with vacuum fluctuations. In this article we expound upon that notion by introducing the Theory of Vacuum Texture (TVT). Here we show that replacing the highly restrictive assumptions of the quantization of energy levels in a system with the simpler, less restrictive postulate that there exists a threshold in order for energy to be released. With this new postulate, the models of blackbody radiation is shown to be consistent with the experiments. We also show, that the threshold condition contributes to a localized vacuum energy which leads us to conclude that the uncertainty principle is a statistical effect. These conditions also naturally leads to the prediction that massive particles transition to an ordered state at low temperatures. In addition, we show that thermodynamic laws must be modified to include two heat baths with temperatures: $T$ for dissipative energy levels and $T_{V}$ ($gg T$) for localized vacuum energy. In total, we show that our threshold postulate agrees with experimental observations of blackbody radiation, the uncertainty principle and quantum statistics without the need of the invoking quantum weirdness.
We investigate the link between information and thermodynamics embodied by Landauers principle in the open dynamics of a multipartite quantum system. Such irreversible dynamics is described in terms of a collisional model with a finite temperature re
servoir. We demonstrate that Landauers principle holds, for such a configuration, in a form that involves the flow of heat dissipated into the environment and the rate of change of the entropy of the system. Quite remarkably, such a principle for {it heat and entropy power} can be explicitly linked to the rate of creation of correlations among the elements of the multipartite system and, in turn, the non-Markovian nature of their reduced evolution. Such features are illustrated in two exemplary cases.
