Quantum Simulation of the Majorana Equation and Unphysical Operations

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Charge conjugation, complex conjugation, and time reversal of wave functions are theoretical concepts fundamental to quantum mechanics, but do not correspond to physical processes in the real world. Simulating them in a real physical setting seems then out of the question. A Spanish-Austrian team come up with a new toolbox for rendering the seemingly impossible possible.
