From Cubist Simultaneity to Quantum Complementarity
نویسنده
چکیده
This article offers a contribution to the history of scientific ideas by proposing an epistemological argument supporting the assumption made by Miller whereby Niels Bohr has been influenced by cubism (Jean Metzinger) when he developed his non-intuitive complementarity principle. More specifically, this essay will identify the Bergsonian durée as the conceptual bridge between Metzinger and Bohr. Beyond this conceptual link between the painter and the physicist, this paper aims to emphasize the key role played by art in the development of human knowledge.

Perturbative Corrections to Photon Coincidence Spectroscopy Perturbative Corrections to Photon Coincidence Spectroscopy 2
Whereas photon coincidence spectroscopy is a promising technique for probing the nonlinear regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics in the optical domain, the accuracy is mitigated by two factors: higher–order photon correlations, which contribute to an enhanced pair count rate, and non– simultaneity of emitted photon pairs from the optical cavity. We show that the technique of photon coinciden...

متن کاملCUBIST: A New Approach to Speeding Up OLAP Queries
We report on a new, efficient encoding for the data cube, which results in a drastic speed-up of OLAP queries that aggregate along any combination of dimensions over numerical and categorical attributes. Specifically, we introduce a new data structure, called Statistics Tree (ST), together with an algorithm, called CubiST (Cubing with Statistics Trees), for evaluating OLAP queries on top of a r...
متن کاملA full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible interior-point algorithm for symmetric cone linear complementarity problem
A full Nesterov-Todd (NT) step infeasible interior-point algorithm is proposed for solving monotone linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones by using Euclidean Jordan algebra. Two types of full NT-steps are used, feasibility steps and centering steps. The algorithm starts from strictly feasible iterates of a perturbed problem, and, using the central path and feasi...
متن کاملComplementarity in single photon interference - the role of mode function and vacuum fields
Background: In earlier experiments the role of the vacuum fields could be demonstrated as the source of complementarity with respect to the temporal properties (Heuer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114:053601, 2015). Methods: Single photon first order interferences of spatially separated regions from the cone structure of spontaneous parametric down conversion allow for analyzing the role of the mode...
