Candidate collapse-noise correlators from Generalized Trace Dynamics: a Hubble-scale spectral line under structural assumptions

Abstract

We present a conditional construction of candidate CSL-type collapse-noise correlators inspired by Generalized Trace Dynamics (GTD). The construction is not a parameter-free derivation from the minimal GTD Grassmann algebra. It rests on a chain of explicit structural postulates, listed in Section 1; within that auxiliary structure the spectral form and amplitude follow by computation rather than by phenomenological fitting. The resulting narrow-band spectrum at the Hubble scale lies outside the bands of current CSL bounds, so the framework is not in tension with existing high-frequency data. We compute the two-point function of a candidate collapse-noise operator associated with the GTD aikyon decomposition $q_i = q_B + a_0β_i q_F$. In the minimal Grassmann algebra, $q_F$ appears only multiplied by Grassmann generators $β_i$, the reduction of $\mathrm{Tr}(q_F^\daggerΓ^μq_F)$ to ghost-mode operators is obstructed by the nilpotent $δβ= β_2 - β_1$, and the pure-fermion coefficient $β_1β_2$ has no ordinary sign, modulus, or inverse. We therefore introduce an auxiliary canonical fermionic Fock-space sector for $q_F$, equivalently replacing the nilpotent pure-fermion coefficient by an ordinary effective scalar body parameter. This replacement is an independent structural postulate, not a consequence of the original minimal action. Under this auxiliary postulate, together with a scalar bilinear $J = \mathrm{Tr}(q_F^\dagger q_F)$ as bath operator, positive-norm canonical quantization, and an effective sign choice $σ= \pm1$ for the scalarized pure-fermion sector, elementary Wick contraction gives a Wightman line at $|ω| = 2ω_0$ with amplitude $A_J = (\hbar/2m_Rω_0 L_{\mathrm{aik}}^2)^2\cdot N\cdot D$. The cosmological identification $ω_0 \sim H_0$ places the line at twice the Hubble scale. [truncated]

Quantum Authenticated Key Expansion with Key Recycling

Data privacy and authentication are two main security requirements for remote access and cloud services. While QKD has been explored to address data privacy concerns, oftentimes its use is separate from the client authentication protocol despite implicitly providing authentication. Here, we present a quantum authentication key expansion (QAKE) protocol that (1) integrates both authentication and key expansion within a single protocol, and (2) provides key recycling property - allowing all authentication keys to be reused. We analyse the security of the protocol in a QAKE framework adapted from a classical authentication key exchange (AKE) framework, providing separate security conditions for authentication and data privacy. We experimentally implemented the protocol with appropriate post-selection. Additional results on the security of pseudorandom basis generation in QAKE and decoy state BB84 are provided.

Entanglement as Difference: Reduction-induced Minimal Partial Entropy Difference

Bipartite mixed-state quantum entanglement (QE) and its measures play a crucial role in both theoretical research and practical quantum applications. Its internal structure is far more complex and less well understood compared with bipartite pure-state QE. Some existing measures involve inherently intractable global optimizations, while others are only applicable to highly limited-dimensional quantum systems. Here based on the inherent feature that bipartite QE systems nonseparable necessarily implies that local reduced density matrix differs from its \textquotedblleft native\textquotedblright density matrix, we propose a more physical and intuitive measure termed Reduction-induced Minimal Partial Entropy Difference to quantify arbitrary bipartite mixed-state QE. Partial Von Neumann Entropy is only a pure-state special case of this method. This measure offers intrinsic structural %perspective insights into bipartite QE characterization, thereby establishing itself as a valuable complementary measure. Its intuitive and clear physical picture, combined with relatively low computational complexity and wide applicability, facilitates exploring its potential quantum information applications, hence its conceptual framework and line of thought deserve to be further developed to describe and quantify multipartite QE in the future.

Non-local mass superpositions and optical clock interferometry in atomic ensemble quantum networks

Quantum networks are emerging as powerful platforms for sensing, communication, and fundamental tests of physics. We propose a programmable quantum sensing network based on entangled atomic ensembles, where optical clock qubits realize mass superpositions arising via mass-energy equivalence, as in atom and atom-clock interferometry. Our approach uniquely combines scalability to large atom numbers with minimal control requirements, relying only on collective addressing of internal atomic states. This enables the creation of both non-local and local superpositions with spatial separations beyond those achievable in conventional matter-wave interferometry with single atoms. Starting from Bell-type seed states distributed via photonic channels, collective operations within atomic ensembles coherently build many-body mass superpositions sensitive to gravitational redshift. The resulting architecture implements a non-local Ramsey interferometer, where gravitationally induced phase shifts are imprinted on non-local entangled states and are read out through local measurements at the network nodes. Beyond extending the spatial reach of mass superpositions, our scheme establishes a scalable, programmable platform to probe the interface of quantum mechanics and gravity, and offers a new experimental pathway to test atom and atom-clock interferometer proposals, e.g. for probing gravitational dephasing, in a network-based quantum laboratory.
