Indistinguishability for QuantuIn Particles: Further Considerations

The Impact of the Spectral Filter Bandwidth on the Spectral Entanglement and Indistinguishability of Photon Pairs of SPDC Process

In this paper, we have investigated the dependence of the spectral entanglement and indistinguishability of photon pairs produced by the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) procedure on the bandwidth of spectral filters used in the detection setup. The SPDC is a three-wave mixing process which occurs in a nonlinear crystal and generates entangled photon pairs and utilizes as one of th...

The Role of Indistinguishability of Identical Particles in Quantum Information Processing

Multiparticle correlations in complex scattering and the mesoscopic Boson Sampling problem

We consider the many-body scattering of non-interacting identical particles in mesoscopic chaotic cavities. A complete enumeration of all interfering paths allows us to discriminate single-particle effects from many-body interference due to quantum indistinguishability. In the thermodynamic limit of large particle number massive quantum interference results in a macroscopic, coherent manifestat...

Quarticles and the Identity of Indiscernibles

In sections 5.3-4 of their paper in this volume, French and Rickles raise the question of the logical relations between the indistinguishability postulate (IP) and the various senses in which particles might fail to be individuals. In section 5.3 they refer to the convincing arguments of French and Redhead (1988) and of Butterfield (1993) that IP does not logically entail non-individuality, und...

Management Education in Public Health: Further Considerations; Comment on “Management Matters: A Leverage Point for Health Systems Strengthening in Global Health”

Knowing and applying the basic management functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling, as well as their permutations and combinations, are vital to effective delivery of public health services. Presently, graduate programs that prepare public health professionals neither emphasize teaching management theory, nor its application. This deficit puts those who become man...
