Unreasonable and ` ` Unreasonable ’ ’ in Quantum Mechanics ?
نویسنده
چکیده
The particles of quantum mechanics (QM) are discrete undulatory entities which are described in terms of the complex state vectors of the theory in full agreement with experiment. The wave± particle paradox stems from the fact that undulation and discreteness are inconsistent within the classical theory which was historically the point of departure for the canonical foundation . The author describes his prolonged efforts of anchoring the state vector of QM in experiment rather in obsolete theory.

On the Reasonable and Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in Classical and Quantum Physics
The point of departure for this article is Werner Heisenberg’s remark, made in 1929: “It is not surprising that our language [or conceptuality] should be incapable of describing processes occurring within atoms, for . . . it was invented to describe the experiences of daily life, and these consist only of processes involving exceedingly large numbers of atoms. . . . Fortunately, mathematics is ...
متن کاملWhat is a quantum - mechanical ” weak value ” the value of ?
A so called “weak value” of an observable in quantum mechanics (QM) may be obtained in a weak measurement + post-selection procedure on the QM system under study. Applied to number operators, it has been invoked in revisiting some QM paradoxes (e.g., the so called Three-Box paradox and Hardy’s paradox). This requires the weak value to be interpreted as a bona fide property of the system conside...
متن کاملRevisiting controlled quantum secure direct communication using a non-symmetric quantum channel with quantum superdense coding
Recently Xia and Song [Phys. Lett. A (In press)] have proposed a controlled quantum secure direct communication (CQSDC) protocol. They claimed that in their protocol only with the help of the controller Charlie, the receiver Alice can successfully extract the secret message from the sender Bob. In this letter, first we will show that within their protocol the controller Charlie’s role can be ex...

" The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. " — George Bernard Shaw, Maxims for Revolutionists * ALBERT is a publically-diffusable working title for the system described in this whitepaper while we think of less (legally) troublesome replacements for 'pepsi' and '...
