In typical experiments, the molecules’ lifetime is limited by loss due to molecule-molecule collisions. Surprisingly, collisional loss is observed even for chemically stable molecules, and cannot be explained by sticky collisions”, proposed previously [1]. Instead, we show...

Different subfields of physics feature different notions of operator incompatibility: (i) In quantum information theory, uncertainty relations are cast in terms of entropies. These entropic uncertainty relations constrain measurement outcomes. (ii) Condensed matter and high-energy physics feature interacting quantum many-body systems, such as spin chains. A local perturbation,...
