  • 量子柴郡猫效应是量子力学中的一种重要现象, 它揭示物理属性与载体的可分离性, 突破了经典物理中属性必须依附于物体的固有框架, 为量子信息与量子精密测量提供了新视角. 本文基于量子柴郡猫效应, 通过前选择过程制备了一个由两个粒子组成的自旋-1/2原子系统的前选态. 对这些粒子的自旋和位置进行了量子弱测量, 并随后实施了策略性的后选择. 在后选择过程中, 设计了两个不同的后选态. 完成弱测量的粒子会沿着不同的路径演化, 最终达到不同的后选态. 最终测量结果表明, 其中一个后选态导致两个粒子的自旋发生了交换并得到了放大; 而另一个后选态则使得两个粒子即使经历了弱测量, 但状态仍然与测量前保持一致. 本研究从理论上证实了费米子系统在两体量子柴郡猫效应中的可行性, 并展示了延迟选择如何影响自旋-1/2原子系统的量子柴郡猫效应.

     

    The quantum Cheshire cat effect is an important phenomenon in quantum mechanics that reveals the separability of physical properties from their carriers. This effect transcends the classical framework whose attributes must be inherently attached to objects, providing new perspectives for quantum information and precision measurement. According to the quantum Cheshire cat effect, we prepare a pre-selected state of a spin-1/2 atomic system composed of two particles through a pre-selection process. We conduct quantum weak measurements on the spins and positions of these two atoms and extract weak values by using the method of imaginary time evolution (ITE). Subsequently, we perform post-selection on these two atoms and design two distinct post-selected states. Initially, we calculate analytical solutions when both atoms encounter these two different post-selected states separately. Then, during the stage of obtaining weak values via ITE, we first discuss the scenario with only one post-selected state. In this case, our experimental goal is to achieve spin exchange between the two atoms. We use ITE to obtain normalized coincidence rate for the system. By linearly fitting these normalized coincidence rate, we derive numerical solutions for the weak values of the system. The comparison between the analytical solutions and numerical results indicates that they are in close agreement, demonstrating that our method promotes spin exchange between the two atoms. Next, we examine scenarios involving both post-selected states in the post-selection process. After completing weak measurements on particles, delayed-choice allows them to evolve along different paths ultimately leading to distinct post-selected states. One particular post-selected state that results in final measurement outcomes indicates that the spin exchange occurs between both particles with amplification. Conversely, the other post-selected state ensures that even after undergoing weak measurement and delayed-choice, the states of the two particles remain consistent with their pre-measurement conditions. We also compare the analytical and numerical solutions of the experiment involving delayed choice and find that they are very consistent with each other. This consistency indicates that delayed-choice indeed has a significant influence on whether the final exchange occurs. Our research theoretically confirms the feasibility of fermionic systems within bipartite quantum Cheshire cat effects and illustrates how delayed-choice influences quantum Cheshire cat effects in spin-1/2 atomic systems.
