Quantum Reality Formation Dynamics (QRFD)

Jincheng Zhang

This paper introduces the Quantum Reality Formation Dynamics (QRFD) model, proposing a fundamentally different perspective on quantum measurement. It rejects the conventional notion of measurement as an instantaneous, collapsing process, instead introducing the concept of a continuous "reality formation dynamic" represented by the function [R(t)]. The model posits that quantum reality isn't passively revealed by measurement, but actively shaped by the continuous act of observation and interaction. This approach offers a potential solution to longstanding problems in the foundations of quantum mechanics, specifically addressing the issue of the measurement problem and the collapse of the wave function. The core argument centers on the continuous nature of measurement and its role in the ongoing formation of quantum reality. The model's implications could fundamentally alter our understanding of the relationship between the observer and the observed, and has the potential to be a paradigm shift in quantum physics.

Dynamic Quantum State Decoding with Probabilistic Graphical Models

Jincheng Zhang

This paper explores the application of probabilistic graphical models for dynamic quantum state decoding, aiming to enhance the reliability of quantum information transmission. The core concept involves constructing a quantum state decoder based on a probabilistic graphical model, leveraging measurement results to infer the original quantum state. A Bayesian optimization algorithm is then employed to refine the model's parameters, adapting to evolving measurement data and improving decoding accuracy. The proposed approach offers a novel framework for understanding and optimizing the inherently probabilistic nature of quantum state decoding. The key contributions lie in the integration of graphical models with Bayesian optimization, providing a flexible and adaptive solution compared to traditional decoding methods. This work demonstrates the potential for improved quantum communication protocols by dynamically adjusting the decoding process based on observed data.

Measurement-induced bistability in the excited states of a transmon

JeaKyung Choi, Hyeok Hwang, Eunseong Kim

High power measurement-induced cavity response is investigated in the |g>, |e>, and |f> states of a transmon. All the states exhibit photon blockades above a certain critical value, a phenomenon that has previously been understood based on the bistability of semiclassical Duffing oscillators. The measurement-induced state transition (MIST) to high-level transmon states is expected to be one contributor to the bistability; however, the critical values measured in the |e> and |f> states are not coincident with the MIST. To understand this discrepancy, we utilize the recently developed semiclassical dynamics model of a cavity photon state. The appearance of dim and bright cavity states obtained from the model's steady-state solution leads to the photon blockades at lower critical photon numbers, and this can explain the response of the bistable region in the |e> and |f> states.
