... According to the Planck hypothesis, all electromagnetic radiation is quantized and occurs in finite “quanta" of energy which we call photons. The quantum of energy for a photon is not Planck's constant h itself, but the product of h and the frequency. The quantization implies that a photon of blue l ...

Measurement Theories in Quantum Mechanics Cortland M. Setlow March 3, 2006
... However, the behavior of equipment in laboratories seems at odds with linear time evolution. When quantum mechanics was being formulated, an ad hoc proposal was introduced to describe the action of a measurement apparatus 1 . This proposal, often called the "collapse postulate," states that a measur ...

QUANTUM COMPUTATION: THE TOPOLOGICAL APPROACH
... Topological phases are not merely mathematical constructs. Laughlin won the 1999 Nobel Prize in physics for his (topological) description of Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) fluids. These are correlated systems of electrons trapped in a two dimensional crystal interface within a semiconductor and subj ...

Matrix elements for the Coulomb interaction
... they are restricted to the case n1 = n2 and the computation methods therein are complicated. The analytical method has been used in [4, 11-13] to compute (1) when n1 = n2 for l1 = l2 or l2 = l1 + 1 for some values of k . For our purposes, both sets of quantum numbers and k are arbitrary. Here we sho ...

Multilinear Formulas and Skepticism of Quantum Computing
... (A): QC’s can’t be built for fundamental reason—Levin’s arguments (1) Analogy to unit-cost arithmetic model (2) Error-correction and fault-tolerance address only relative error in amplitudes, not absolute (3) “We have never seen a physical law valid to over a dozen decimals” (4) If a quantum comput ...
