... In superconducting qubits, there is no obvious analog for such selection rules. Here, we consider an analog based on the symmetry of the potential U(m, p) and the interaction between: -) superconducting qubits (usual atoms) and the -) magnetic flux (electric field).

DECOHERENCE AND DYNAMICAL DECOUPLING IN SOLID-STATE SPIN QUBITS Wayne Martin Witzel
... In order to motivate our work on decoherence, relevant to quantum computation and quantum information in general, we begin with a brief discussion of the difference between classical and quantum information. Classical information is represented by a sequence of ones and zeroes, each known as a bit. ...

As entanglement cannot be created locally, if entanglement is detected at the single-photon level, this proves that micro-macro entanglement had to exist after the amplification stage.

Renormalization
In quantum field theory, the statistical mechanics of fields, and the theory of self-similar geometric structures, renormalization is any of a collection of techniques used to treat infinities arising in calculated quantities.Renormalization specifies relationships between parameters in the theory when the parameters describing large distance scales differ from the parameters describing small distances. Physically, the pileup of contributions from an infinity of scales involved in a problem may then result in infinities. When describing space and time as a continuum, certain statistical and quantum mechanical constructions are ill defined. To define them, this continuum limit, the removal of the ""construction scaffolding"" of lattices at various scales, has to be taken carefully, as detailed below.Renormalization was first developed in quantum electrodynamics (QED) to make sense of infinite integrals in perturbation theory. Initially viewed as a suspect provisional procedure even by some of its originators, renormalization eventually was embraced as an important and self-consistent actual mechanism of scale physics in several fields of physics and mathematics. Today, the point of view has shifted: on the basis of the breakthrough renormalization group insights of Kenneth Wilson, the focus is on variation of physical quantities across contiguous scales, while distant scales are related to each other through ""effective"" descriptions. All scales are linked in a broadly systematic way, and the actual physics pertinent to each is extracted with the suitable specific computational techniques appropriate for each.
