Abstract
In this paper, a non-repeating quantum algorithm is introduced that depends on detectable Byzantine’s quantum solution that attains Clk synchronization in the arbitrary faultier processes’ presence through utilizing a double quantum system only. Precisely, it has been shown that general relativistic mass–energy equivalences intimate gravitational relation among Clks, however, energy’s quantum mechanical superposition resulted in a non-fixed metric background. Depending only on assumptions that gravitational principles held in such conditions, it has been shown that the Clks essentially gets involve over time dilation effect that ultimately results in a double Clk coherence loss. Therefore, the measured time through a double Clk is not defined precisely. Although, the time’s general relativistic notion is recuperated in the Clks conventional limits.

Clock synchronization for nonfaulty processes in multiprocess networks is indispensable for a variety of technologies. A reliable system must be able to resynchronize the nonfaulty processes upon some components failing causing the distribution of incorrect or conflicting information in the network. The task of synchronizing such networks is related to detectable Byzantine agreement (DBA), which can classically be solved using recursive algorithms if and only if less than one-third of the processes are faulty. Here we introduce a nonrecursive quantum algorithm that solves the DBA and achieves clock synchronization in the presence of arbitrary many faulty processes by using only a single quantum system.

This paper looks at the recent field of relativistic quantum cryptography, which uses quantum mechanics and relativity to produce guarantees about cryptographic security. We analyze some of their security assumptions in these protocols particularly those of Minkowski space-times and perfect knowledge of the communication path. We show how an attacker could use the gravitational bending of space-time to break these cryptographic protocols. We also discuss measures to make this more difficult and some situations in which these attacks are not feasible.

The theory of relativity associates a proper time with each moving object via its world line. In quantum theory however, such well-defined trajectories are forbidden. After introducing a general characterisation of quantum clocks, we demonstrate that, in the weak-field, low-velocity limit, all "good" quantum clocks experience time dilation as dictated by general relativity when their state of motion is classical (i.e. Gaussian). For nonclassical states of motion, on the other hand, we find that quantum interference effects may give rise to a significant discrepancy between the proper time and the time measured by the clock. We also show how ignorance of the clock's state of motion leads to a larger uncertainty in the time measured by the clock --- a consequence of entanglement between the clock time and its center-of-mass degrees of freedom. We demonstrate how this lost precision can be recovered by performing a measurement of the clock's state of motion alongside its time reading.

Time plays a fundamental role in our ability to make sense of the physical laws in the world around us. The nature of time has puzzled people — from the ancient Greeks to the present day — resulting in a long running debate between philosophers and physicists alike to whether time needs change to exist (the so-called relatival theory), or whether time flows regardless of change (the so-called substantival theory). One way to decide between the two is to attempt to measure the flow of time with a stationary clock, since if time were substantival, the flow of time would manifest itself in the experiment. Alas, conventional wisdom suggests that in order for a clock to function, it cannot be a static object, thus rendering this experiment seemingly impossible. Here we show, with the aid of counterfactual measurements, the surprising result that a quantum clock can measure the passage of time even while being switched off, thus lending constructive support for the substantival theory of ...

We derive the predicted time dilation of delocalized atomic clocks in an optical lattice setup in the presence of a gravitational field to leading order in quantum relativistic corrections. We investigate exotic quantum states of motion whose relativistic time dilation is outside of the realm of classical general relativity, finding a regime where 24 Mg optical lattice clocks currently in development would comfortably be able to detect this quantum effect (if the technical challenge of generating such states can be met and the expected accuracy of such clocks can be attained). We provide a detailed experimental protocol and analyse the effects of noise on our predictions. We also show that the magnitude of our predicted quantum relativistic time dilation effect remains just out of detectable reach for the current generation of 87 Sr optical lattice clocks. Our calculations agree with the predicted time dilation of classical general relativity when restricting to Gaussian states.
There has been recent progress in understanding chaotic features in many-body quantum systems. Motivated by the scrambling of information in black holes, it has been suggested that the time dependence of out-of-time-ordered (OTO) correlation functions such as O 2 (t)O 1 (0)O 2 (t)O 1 (0) is a faithful measure of quantum chaos. Experimentally, these correlators are challenging to access since they apparently require access to both forward and backward time evolution with the system Hamiltonian. Here, we propose a protocol to measure such OTO correlators using an ancilla which controls the direction of time. Specifically, by coupling the state of ancilla to the system Hamiltonian of interest, we can emulate the forward and backward time propagation, where the ancilla plays the role of a 'quantum clock'. Within this scheme, the continuous evolution of the entire system (the system of interest and the ancilla) is governed by a time-independent Hamiltonian. Our protocol is immune to errors that could occur when the direction of time evolution is externally controlled by a classical switch.

The theory of relativity associates a proper time with each moving object via its world line. In quantum theory however, such well-defined trajectories are forbidden. After introducing a general characterisation of quantum clocks, we demonstrate that, in the weak-field, low-velocity limit, all ``good'' quantum clocks experience time dilation as dictated by general relativity when their state of motion is classical (i.e. Gaussian). For nonclassical states of motion, on the other hand, we find that quantum interference effects may give rise to a significant discrepancy between the proper time and the time measured by the clock. The universality of this discrepancy implies that it is not simply a systematic error, but rather a quantum modification to the proper time itself. We also show how the clock's delocalisation leads to a larger uncertainty in the time it measures – a consequence of the unavoidable entanglement between the clock time and its center-of-mass degrees of ...

We demonstrate that the quantum corrections to the classical arrival time for a quantum object in a potential free region of space, as computed in Phys. Rev. A 80, 030102(R) (2009), can be eliminated up to a given order of by choosing an appropriate position-dependent phase for the object's wave-function This then implies that we can make the quantum arrival time of the object as close as possible to its corresponding classical arrival time, allowing us to synchronize a classical and quantum clock which tells time using the classical and quantum arrival time of the object, respectively. We provide an example for synchronizing such a clock by making use of a quantum object with a position-dependent phase imprinted on the object's initial wave-function with the use of an impulsive potential.

We review the Montevideo Interpretation of quantum mechanics, which is based on the use of real clocks to describe physics, using the framework that was recently introduced by Höhn, Smith, and Lock to treat the problem of time in generally covariant systems. These new methods, which solve several problems in the introduction of a notion of time in such systems, do not change the main results of the Montevideo Interpretation. The use of the new formalism makes the construction more general and valid for any system in a quantum generally covariant theory. We find that, as in the original formulation, a fundamental mechanism of decoherence emerges that allows for supplementing ordinary environmental decoherence and avoiding its criticisms. The recent results on quantum complexity provide additional support to the type of global protocols that are used to prove that within ordinary—unitary—quantum mechanics, no definite event—an outcome to which a probability can be associated—occurs.

It is hypothesized that the Langevin time of stochastic quantum quantization is a physical time over which quantum fields at all values of space and coordinate time fluctuate. The average over paths becomes a time average as opposed to an ensemble average. It is further hypothesized that the Langevin time also paces the motion of particles through coordinate time and is equal to the coordinate time of the present hypersurface in the frame of the Hubble expansion. Despite having a preferred frame, special relativity continues to hold in this formulation as a dynamical symmetry due to the presumed Lorentz invariance of interactions. The measurement process becomes an integral part of the theory and is realized as a process of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The continuously fluctuating history of fields, characteristic of having two times, and the switch from ensemble averages to time averages allows for logical and straightforward explanations of many quantum measurement paradoxes. Th...
