Modeling the Schr{o}dinger cat by a two state system and assuming that the cat is coupled to the environment we look for the least paradoxical states of the Schr{o}dinger cat in the following way. We require the reduced density matrix of the cat for one of the two states in the superposition to be the same as the one for the total state while distinct from the reduced density matrix of the cat for the other state in the superposition. We then look for the reduced density matrices for which the cat is as alive as possible for the first state (and as dead as possible for the second state). The resulting states are those in which the probability for the cat to be alive (or dead) is $1/2+sqrt 2/4approx 0.854$

The interference pattern in electron double-slit diffraction is a hallmark of quantum mechanics. A long standing question for stochastic electrodynamics (SED) is whether or not it is capable of reproducing such effects, as interference is a manifesta
tion of quantum coherence. In this study, we use excited harmonic oscillators to directly test this quantum feature in SED. We use two counter-propagating dichromatic laser pulses to promote a ground-state harmonic oscillator to a squeezed Schr{o}dinger cat state. Upon recombination of the two well-separated wavepackets, an interference pattern emerges in the quantum probability distribution but is absent in the SED probability distribution. We thus give a counterexample that rejects SED as a valid alternative to quantum mechanics.
Magnon cat state represents a macroscopic quantum superposition of collective magnetic excitations of large number spins that not only provides fundamental tests of macroscopic quantum effects but also finds applications in quantum metrology and quan
tum computation. In particular, remote generation and manipulation of Schr{o}dinger cat states are particularly interesting for the development of long-distance and large-scale quantum information processing. Here, we propose an approach to remotely prepare magnon even/odd cat states by performing local non-Gaussian operations on the optical mode that is entangled with magnon mode through pulsed optomagnonic interaction. By evaluating key properties of the resulting cat states, we show that for experimentally feasible parameters they are generated with both high fidelity and nonclassicality, and with a size large enough to be useful for quantum technologies. Furthermore, the effects of experimental imperfections such as the error of projective measurements and dark count when performing single-photon operations have been discussed, where the lifetime of the created magnon cat states is expected to be $tsim1,mu$s.
Employing the time-dependent variational principle combined with the multiple Davydov $mathrm{D}_2$ Ansatz, we investigate Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions in a qubit coupled to a photon mode with various initial photon states at zero temperature. Thank
s to the multiple Davydov trial states, exact photonic dynamics taking place in the course of the LZ transition is also studied efficiently. With the qubit driven by a linear external field and the photon mode initialized with Schrodinger-cat states, asymptotic behavior of the transition probability beyond the rotating-wave approximation is uncovered for a variety of initial states. Using a sinusoidal external driving field, we also explore the photon-assisted dynamics of Landau-Zener-St{u}ckelberg-Majorana interferometry. Transition pathways involving multiple energy levels are unveiled by analyzing the photon dynamics.
Principal component analysis (PCA) has achieved great success in unsupervised learning by identifying covariance correlations among features. If the data collection fails to capture the covariance information, PCA will not be able to discover meaning
ful modes. In particular, PCA will fail the spatial Gaussian Process (GP) model in the undersampling regime, i.e. the averaged distance of neighboring anchor points (spatial features) is greater than the correlation length of GP. Counterintuitively, by drawing the connection between PCA and Schrodinger equation, we can not only attack the undersampling challenge but also compute in an efficient and decoupled way with the proposed algorithm called Schrodinger PCA. Our algorithm only requires variances of features and estimated correlation length as input, constructs the corresponding Schrodinger equation, and solves it to obtain the energy eigenstates, which coincide with principal components. We will also establish the connection of our algorithm to the model reduction techniques in the partial differential equation (PDE) community, where the steady-state Schrodinger operator is identified as a second-order approximation to the covariance function. Numerical experiments are implemented to testify the validity and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, showing its potential for unsupervised learning tasks on general graphs and manifolds.
We study the effects of continuous measurement of the field mode during the collapse and revival of spin Schr{o}dinger cat states in the Tavis-Cummings model of N qubits (two-level quantum systems) coupled to a field mode. We show that a compromise b
etween relatively weak and relatively strong continuous measurement will not completely destroy the collapse and revival dynamics while still providing enough signal-to-noise resolution to identify the signatures of the process in the measurement record. This type of measurement would in principle allow the verification of the occurrence of the collapse and revival of a spin Schr{o}dinger cat state.
