How to Quantize Yang-Mills Theory?
... on 4, the resulting path integral is not relativistically invariant, even though L is.l” This is one example in which a theory which is covariant at the classical level cannot be made so at the quantum level. While the necessity of modifying (11) is only too well-known, I bring up this example to pr ...

Entanglement and Distinguishability of Quantum States
... that entanglement is physically related also with the concept of distinguishability of quantum states. Lets consider two systems differing by a unitary transformation. Can we decide if the two corresponding states are different with a finite number of measurements? This would be possible only if the ...
