Cover Story: Making good use of photons is critical in single-particle tracking. This work presents a 3D single-particle tracking system that can apply tailored sampling patterns to selectively extract photons that yield the most information for particle localization. Maximizing the information collected from a fixed number of photons is crucial since the total number of photons that can be detected from particles in biological systems is limited. After a thorough investigation of various sampling patterns in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions, we demonstrate that, rather than directly sampling the particle, off-center sampling patterns that overlap the regions of high Fisher information give the highest precision. We show that precision can be doubled in 2D (XY-plane) or 1D (Z-axis) localization, and a ~20% increase in precision was observed in 3D localization. View this paper

Is the Devil in h?

  • Andrei Khrennikov

19 May 2021

This note is a part of my effort to rid quantum mechanics (QM) nonlocality. Quantum nonlocality is a two faced Janus: one face is a genuine quantum mechanical nonlocality (defined by the Lüders’ projection postulate). Another face is the nonlocality...

In this work, we introduce the standard Tavis-Cummings model to describe two-qubit system interacting with a single-mode field associated to power-law (PL) potentials. We explore the effect of the time-dependent interaction and the Kerr-like medium....

The tomography of a single quantum particle (i.e., a quantum wave packet) in an accelerated frame is studied. We write the Schrödinger equation in a moving reference frame in which acceleration is uniform in space and an arbitrary function of time. T...

  • Dariusz Chruściński

18 May 2021

A new class of positive maps is introduced. It interpolates between positive and completely positive maps. It is shown that this class gives rise to a new characterization of entangled states. Additionally, it provides a refinement of the well-known...
