Testing quantum correlations versus single
... (indeed, Bob’s output is assumed to depend on Alice’s input: her input must therefore have been defined before Bob’s output materializes). Any model based on such an assumption had already been falsified by the so-called before–before experiment11,12 , as Suarez emphatically stressed13 . However, as ...

THE THEORY OF THE ELEMENTARY PARTICLES
... where e+ stands for the positive electron, the energy of the quantum is converted into the rest mass and kinetic energy of the two particles. The predictions of the Dirac theory have been remarkably confirmed by the discovery of the positron by Anderson in 1932, and by the observation of the process ...

Accordingly, even the most nearly monochromatic quantum waves are actually obligatory wave packets and so must have a limiti ...

A Quantum Rosetta Stone for Interferometry
... The result is a bit flip in the initial, computational, basis {|0i, |1i}, and this is readily measured. We call the formal analogy between these three systems the quantum Rosetta stone. The importance of the Rosetta stone was that, by giving an example of writing in three different languages: Greek, ...

Quantum Theory Looks at Time Travel

However, looking forwards, the future is probabilistic. This completely explains the classical paradox. In fact, it serves as a kind of ...
