13 A paradox Protocol of the thought experiment Alice prepares a quantum macroscopic superposition. Bob prepares a test mass in the ground state of a very narrow harmonic trap. Bob decides if : doing noting opening the trap No entanglement is created Entanglement creates after Alice performs an arbitrary experiment aiming at discriminating In this way she deduces the choice of Bob. from Superluminal communication paradox For sufficiently large the entanglement generation time can be arbitrarily reduced. If Bob can send a signal to Alice faster than light!
14 Solution of the paradox Alice can discriminate from, but the experiment must be slow! Causality should be satisfied: Alice discrimination time Bob measurement time Free parameters of the thought experiment: (,, width of the trap ) Let us choose them in order to get the best bound for
15 Estimate of the minimum discrimination time The two possible Hamiltonians for the free test mass in Bob's laboratory are:
16 Estimate of the minimum discrimination time The two possible Hamiltonians for the free test mass in Bob's laboratory are: Entanglement is created when the two Hamiltonians drive the test mass into orthogonal states:
17 Estimate of the minimum discrimination time The two possible Hamiltonians for the free test mass in Bob's laboratory are: Entanglement is created when the two Hamiltonians drive the test mass into orthogonal states: (Baker Campbell Hausdorff formula) displacement operator Displacement in position Displacement in momentum

23 Consistency with QED We have shown that What is the physical origin of this bound? Let us choose two specific experiments and see what happens. How can we probe a spatial superposition? 1) Interference experiment 2) Measure the momentum distribution
24 Consistency with QED We have shown that What is the physical origin of this bound? Let us choose two specific experiments and see what happens. How can we probe a spatial superposition? 1) Interference experiment 2) Measure the momentum distribution 1) Interference experiment d Apply a spin dependent force which moves to within a time interval of Perform a spin measurement discriminating between
25 Consistency with QED What happens if the experiment is too fast? If the charge is accelerated too much it will radiate photons: vacuum radiation field
26 Consistency with QED What happens if the experiment is too fast? If the charge is accelerated too much it will radiate photons: vacuum radiation field What is the minimum time such that radiation is not produced?
27 Consistency with QED What happens if the experiment is too fast? If the charge is accelerated too much it will radiate photons: vacuum radiation field What is the minimum time such that radiation is not produced? Non-trivial QED calculation
28 Implications for quantum gravity For superpositions of charged systems we have just shown: What is the physical origin of this bound? 1) Photons 2) Vacuum fluctuations For superpositions of massive systems, the analogy with QED would suggest: What is the physical origin of this bound? 1) Gravitons! 2) Metric fluctuations!
29 Conclusions No progress without a paradox Experiments testing macroscopic quantum superpositions must be slow: Fully consistent with quantum electrodynamics Indirect evidence of a quantum gravity effects: gravitons, metric fluctuations. Above a certain scale macroscopic superpositions are not observable Outlook Use linearized quantum gravity to verify the bound Other thought experiments? Thanks!!! Mari, De Palma, Giovannetti, Sci.
