Hatred Is Not Stronger Than Bonds

Bad Is Stronger Than Good

The greater power of bad events over good ones is found in everyday events, major life events (e.g., trauma), close relationship outcomes, social network patterns, interpersonal interactions, and learning processes. Bad emotions, bad parents, and bad feedback have more impact than good ones, and bad information is processed more thoroughly than good. The self is more motivated to avoid bad self...

When Model Bias is Stronger than

Stronger-Than-Quantum Correlations

After an elementary derivation of Bell’ s inequality, classical, quantum mechanical , and stronger-than-quantum correlation functions for 2-particle-systems are discussed. Special functions are investigated which give rise to an extreme violation of Bell’ s inequality by the value of 4. Referring to a specific quantum system it is shown that under certain conditions such an extreme violation wo...

Quantum One-Way Communication is Exponentially Stronger Than Classical Communication

In STOC 1999, Raz presented a (partial) function for which there is a quantum protocol communicating only O(log n) qubits, but for which any classical (randomized, bounded-error) protocol requires poly(n) bits of communication. That quantum protocol requires two rounds of communication. Ever since Raz’s paper it was open whether the same exponential separation can be achieved with a quantum pro...

The k-variable property is stronger than H-dimension k

We study the notion of H-dimension and the formally stronger kvariable property, as considered by Gabbay and Immerman & Kozen. We exhibit a class of flows of time that has H-dimension 3, and admits a finite expressively complete set of one-dimensional connectives, but does not have the k-variable property for any finite k. Published in Journal of Philosophical Logic 26 (1997) 81–101. Publisher’...
