Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we performed mainly three experiments with perfect-crystal neutron interferometers. They are (i) an experiment to confirm the quantum Cheshire-cat phenomenon with a delayed-choice option, (ii) an experiment to separate three degrees of freedom of the quantum Cheshire-cat using a three-path neutron interferometer, and (iii) an experiment to carry out simultaneous path weak-measurements in a Mach-Zehnder-type interferometer by the use of two spin rotators operated with different frequencies. Furthermore, an experiment was perfomed using a neutron spin polarimeter to show the existence of hidden errors of a quantum measurement and realize further quantification. All these experiments were done as a part of the cooperative works with the Vienna University of Technology. In parallel, we developed a setup for conducting atom-interferometer experiments at the Hokkaido University.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

量子力学の提示する事象には、日常の世界観から理解しようとすると、不可解な事柄が多数含まれている。本研究課題では、中性子干渉計と中性子偏極測定装置を用いて、未踏の基礎量子物理学現象にアプローチし、数々の新たな知見を得ることに成功した。その中には、『不思議の国のアリス』に出てくる笑いのみを残して消える「チェシャ猫」にちなんで名づけられた、量子チェシャ猫現象と呼ばれるものに関連する研究が含まれている。さらに、量子測定において、今まで認知されていなかった、測定誤差に関する研究においても成果が報告されている。これらの研究はウィーン工科大学との国際共同研究によって遂行された。
