Abstract To qualify as a fully rational agent, one must be able rationally to revise one’s beliefs in the light of new evidence. This requires, not only that right way, but also do so result appreciating evidence on basis which is changing mind. However, very nature belief seems pose an obstacle possibility satisfying this requirement – for, insofar believes p , any not- will strike misleading ...

A recent article in the California Management Review portrays independent film companies (and similar project-based enterprises) as a paradox for contemporary strategic management theory. Specifically, DeFillippi and Arthur, the authors of Paradox in Project-Based Enterprise, make the observation that “...in the film making example, no capital investments convert to fixed assets, no revenues ar...

Despite the spectacular success of quantum mechanics (QM) over the last 80 years in explaining phenomena observed at the atomic and subatomic level, the conceptual status of the theory is still a topic of lively controversy. Most of the discussion centers around two famous paradoxes (or, as some would have it, pseudoparadoxes) associated, respectively, with the names of Einstein, Podolsky, and ...

We investigate the possibility of implementing a sequence quantum walks whose probability distributions give an overall positive winning probability, while it is negative for single (Parrondo’s paradox). In particular, we have in mind experimental realization with Bose–Einstein condensate which walker’s space momentum space. Experimental problems precise implementation coin operations our discr...
