Why the brain is probably not a quantum computer Max Tegmark
... that consciousness is a macroquantum eect, involving superconductivity [12], super¯uidity [13], electromagnetic ®elds [14], Bose condensation [15,16], superflourescence [17] or some other mechanism [18,19]. Perhaps the most concrete one is that of Penrose [2], proposing that this takes place in mic ...

Full characterization of polarization states of light via direct
... that a measurement of one variable of a system erases information about the corresponding conjugate variable. The classic example is that determining the position of a particle disturbs its momentum, and vice versa. These measurements, known as strong measurements, collapse the wavefunction such tha ...

Fractals as macroscopic manifestation of squeezed
... Cantor set, etc.) is expressed in analytical form by Eqs. (6) and (7): “cutting a piece of a fractal and magnifying it isotropically to the size of the original, both the original and the magnification look the same” [18]. In this sense fractals are “scale free”, namely viewing a picture of part of ...

A review of E infinity theory and the mass spectrum of high energy

The string connection and KAM theorem Having mentioned string theory, we should mention that in string theory particles are perceived as highly localised vibration of Planck length strings, so that strictly speaking, within string theory there is no essential difference between a resonance parti ...

Completeness, Supervenience, and Ontology
... complete (as Laplace pointed out). But no one would suggest because of this that we think of the state at one moment as all that exists: indeed, it is the various different states at different times that the dynamical laws link to one another. To sum up, informational completeness implies a form of ...

Quantum Theory: a Pragmatist Approach
... where A is a dynamical variable (an “observable”) pertaining to a system s, ρ represents a quantum state of that system by a density operator on a Hilbert space Hs , Δ is a Borel set of real numbers (so AεΔ states that the value of A lies in Δ), and P A[Δ] is the value for Δ of the projection-valued ...
