... The optical Mach-Zehnder interferometer is just one way of performing a quantum interference experiment – there are many others. Atoms, molecules, nuclear spins and many other quantum objects can be prepared in two distinct states, internal or external, labelled as 0 and 1 and manipulated so that tr ...

The Density Operator
... S = S1 + S2 must be in a pure state. Second, the fact that Schmidt’s theorem applies only to two-component systems entails that S1 has property O only from the point of view of S2 . In addition, if we couple S1 not with S2 but with, say, S3 , the bi-orthogonal decomposition of the state vector for t ...

The term “exists” in part (a) above means that such a Hamiltonian is (by hypothesis) possible according to fundamental physics, that it is compatible with fundamental physics to say that there could be such a Hamiltonian. Albert provides no proof of either (a) or (b ...
