(Dis)entangling Barad: Materialisms and ethics

Disentangling Nonlocality and Teleportation

Quantum entanglement can be used to demonstrate nonlocality and to teleport a quantum state from one place to another. The fact that entanglement can be used to do both these things has led people to believe that teleportation is a nonlocal effect. In this paper it is shown that teleportation is conceptually independent of nonlocality. This is done by constructing a toy local theory in which cl...

Disentangling Spatial and Flow Anisotropy

Two generalisations of the blast-wave model to non-central nuclear collisions are constructed, and elliptic flow as well as azimuthal dependence of correlation radii are calculated. Particular attention is paid to how different azimuthal dependences of transverse flow direction can cause qualitatively different anisotropic fireballs to give same v2 as a function of the transverse momentum. The ...

Disentangling Chat

When multiple conversations occur simultaneously, a listener must decide which conversation each utterance is part of in order to interpret and respond to it appropriately. We refer to this task as disentanglement. We present a corpus of Internet Relay Chat dialogue in which the various conversations have been manually disentangled, and evaluate annotator reliability. We propose a graph-based c...
