核心概念
本文探討了由變形對易關係或漲落的度規張量引起的時空漲落如何導致量子系統(特別是機械振盪器)在動量基態下發生退相干。
統計資料
機械振盪器的有效質量為 16.2 µg。
機械振盪器的頻率為 2π · 5.96 GHz。
機械振盪器的能量弛豫時間 T1 為 85.8±1.5 µs。
機械振盪器的 Ramsey 退相干時間 T2 為 147.3±2.6 µs。
根據實驗數據,估計能量弛豫率 γ−1 為 169.9 ± 47.5 µs。
根據實驗數據,估計漲落參數 κ 的上限為 (4.0 ± 0.9) · 10^46 s。
根據實驗數據,估計變形參數 β 的上限為 2.2(6) · 10^30。
根據實驗數據,估計非局部性長度尺度 lk 的上限為 5.9(8) · 10^-20 m。
根據 Breuer 等人的模型,估計度規漲落參數 τc 的上限為 (3.7 ± 0.8) · 10^-18 s。
引述
"While the minimal length scale is often considered to be a constant, it was recently suggested the possibility of having a foamy spacetime in which this quantity fluctuates."
"Investigating the structure of spacetime at the Planck scale is therefore of great interest for shedding light on the interplay between gravity and quantum mechanics, and for improving our understanding of the most fundamental laws of Nature."
"Using quantum systems to investigate deformed commutators is therefore of significant interest, as interpreting the results does not rely on this additional assumption."
