This is interesting stuff, but to a large extent you're overthinking it. At high temperatures, the translational degree of freedom gets excited...
1) There are a few techniques for verifying superposition, but at the most basic level, they essentially involve doing a simple quantum computation...
Nacho: Your explanations on the previous page look spot-on to me. In particular, it's worth re-emphasizing that entanglement can only be inferred by...
The latter is correct; ((if a then b) and (if not a then c)). Expanding this out using the identities you gave above, ((if a then b) and (if not a...
Had to think about this one for a while! A quick note about terminology: "expected", "average", and "mean" typically mean the same thing in...
Thanks for the feedback, Q-reeus and rpenner. I only understand GR well enough to really understand the paper's problem statement and conclusion, so...
Just saw this on the arXiv: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.09369.pdf RJBeery, I think you'll find it vindicating. :) Basically, the authors calculate...
If you're just now looking for some references after completing your paper and filing for copyright, you're doing it wrong.
For there to be an axial force, there has to be some kind of symmetry breaking. Thinking about variations on the setup and different battery designs,...
I think I agree that Copenhagen and MWI wouldn't predict a torque, but I don't see why any other interpretation would, either. Talking about the...
I guess now I'm confused again. Are you saying that you want to send EPR entangled photons through polarizers, and then look at the torque on the...
If we're talking about using a standard, room-temperature emitter, than the experiment should be easy to do. If we want a cold, single-atom emitter,...
Half true. You're right that most photons are emitted in a broad pattern. Not necessarily omnidirectional - the exact pattern depends on the geometry...
I'm trying to think of the most straightforward way to explain this. Consider the Schrodinger equation. No interpretations, no measurements, just...
For my part, I haven't taken a stab at a solution because I have little experience with GR, and I know the answer must involve some GR subtleties. If...
Certainly! I only brought up the variation because it highlights what I hope is a useful insight: electrodynamic effects or other subtleties from the...
I think it's a bigger issue than you're giving it credit for. What do you mean that "the persitent pure quantum state would indeed be detected?" In...
The idea of replacing the batteries with capacitors occurred to me as well; the puzzle stays essentially the same. A crucial thing to keep in mind is...
If you have electrons flowing from left to right, then they'll exert a force on the battery casing and start it moving right to left, thus conserving...
So I took a longer look at your paper, and I came away with two criticisms. 1. rpenner is right that it's not at all obvious momentum conservation...
