CIHR reforms contradict consultant reports

Consistent Sets Contradict

In the consistent histories formulation of quantum theory, the probabilistic predictions and retrodictions made from observed data depend on the choice of a consistent set. We show that this freedom allows the formalism to retrodict several contradictory propositions which correspond to orthogonal commuting projections and which all have probability one. We also show that the formalism makes co...

Quantum codewords contradict local realism

Quantum codewords are highly entangled combinations of two-state systems. The standard assumptions of local realism lead to logical contradictions similar to those found by Bell, Kochen and Specker, Greenberger, Horne and Zeilinger, and Mermin. The new contradictions have some noteworthy features that did not appear in the older ones. PACS: 03.65.Bz, 89.80.+h, 89.70.+c ∗Permanent address: Depar...

CIHR to simplify open-funding programs.

CIHR hikes grants to young researchers.

Responding to protests from scientists and 15 university presidents, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) has pledged at least $30 million for junior scientists in the 2016 Project Grants competition. This amounts to about 10% of the total grant money. CIHR has also agreed to a moratorium on any further reforms beyond the highly controversial suite of changes it introduced in 2014....

CIHR doubles support for clinical research.
