A Quantum-Mechanical Argument for Mind
... Here the composite system is either in a state where Einstein determinately records that the bed is in the room because it is or where Einstein determinately records that the bed is not in the room because it isn’t; and, given the symmetry of the initial state, each with probability 1/2. In either c ...

... What is the ideal model for vibrational motion. Be able to set up the Schrodinger equation. What mathematical “tricks” are use to solve the Schrodinger eqn. How do the solutions in this case get to be quantized? What polynomial makes up part of the eigenfunctions. What is the spacing between the ene ...

The answer at which we arrive is the wave-function should not be regarded as a complete description of the physical state of the system. We consider a composite system, consisting of the partial systems A and B whi ...

Quantum Computing - Turing Gateway
... Reading a qubit: if we measure a|0>+b|1> we see 0 (resp. 1) with probability |a|2 (resp. |b|2 ) and state is destroyed! – very limiting! State after measurement is “collapsed” to |0> or |1> according to what was seen, and this collapse is unavoidable! More formally, any physical process on an n qubi ...

Bohr–Einstein debates
The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Their debates are remembered because of their importance to the philosophy of science. An account of the debates was written by Bohr in an article titled ""Discussions with Einsteinon Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics"". Despite their differences of opinion regarding quantum mechanics, Bohr and Einstein had a mutual admiration that was to last the rest of their lives.The debates represent one of the highest points of scientific research in the first half of the twentieth century because it called attention to an element of quantum theory, quantum non-locality, which is absolutely central to our modern understanding of the physical world. The consensus view of professional physicists has been that Bohr proved victorious, and definitively established the fundamental probabilistic character of quantum measurement.
