The crux of the matter is the privileged role of the observer in quantum theory. Every interpretation of quantum mechanics is formulated in terms of what an observer expects to see or measure (any other formulation would be unscientific). This dichotomy between the observer and (quantum) system ...
Sending a 2-bit message of 00 requires no change to Alice’s qubit (“I” is the identity gate, which does nothing). Sending 01 or 10 requires a single gate: X or Z, respectively; and sending 11 requires the application of both an X and a Z gate. In quantum mechanics, the only ...
A. Quantum particles have definite positions and momenta at the same time. B. The behavior of quantum particles is completely predictable. C. Quantum entanglement means that two particles can instantaneously affect each other regardless of the distance. D. Quantum mechanics only applies to very smal...
This wave-particle duality principle of quantum mechanics applies primarily to small particles such as electrons,but it has also been shown to apply to protons and neutrons. The wave-particle duality principle is the basis on which we will use wave theory to describe the motion and behavior of...
Here we derive a semiclassical extension of quantum mechanics that applies to different metrics, but under the assumption of weak gravity. We use our results to show that Thomson scattering of photons by uniformly accelerated electrons predicts an observable effect depending upon acceleration and local...
A. A quantum particle can only exist in one state at a time. B. A quantum particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously. C. Quantum particles always follow classical physics laws. D. The superposition principle only applies to photons. ...
In quantum mechanics, particles can exist in multiple states at the same time, defying the logic of everyday experiences. This property, known as quantum superposition, is the basis for emerging quantum technologies that promise to transform computing, communication, and sensing. ...
We suggest that resolution of many of the problems of interpretation presented by quantum mechanics is to be accomplished, not by further scrutiny of the subject as it applies to reproducible laboratory situations, but rather by an examination of alternative histories of the universe, stemming from ...
QSM³ Tensegrity Current models of human anatomy – physiology relationships have shifted the awareness of the human construct. Tensegrity, as it applies to human posture, is the current model that describes how our bodies work, and is based on the insight that we are primarily tensegral struc...
The Copenhagen interpretation was the first general attempt to understand the world of atoms as this is represented by quantum mechanics. The founding father was mainly the Danish physicist Niels Bohr, but also Werner Heisenberg, Max Born and other physicists made important contributions to the overal...
