Muddied Waters: A Review of Joint Venture Jurisprudence in Missouri
Nearly four decades ago, the Supreme Court of Missouri issued an opinion that continues to generate confusion on what constitutes a joint venture. Johnson v. Pacific Intermountain Express Co. not only distorted the elements required to establish a joint venture but also provided for the business organization’s wrongful creation by operation of law through implication.1 Upon this shaky foundation, corporate law jurisprudence in Missouri has grappled for decades with the same essential questions of what constitutes a joint venture and how this species of partnership may come into existence
Implications of Qudit Superselection rules for the Theory of Decoherence-free Subsystems
The use of d-state systems, or qudits, in quantum information processing is
discussed. Three-state and higher dimensional quantum systems are known to have
very different properties from two-state systems, i.e., qubits. In particular
there exist qudit states which are not equivalent under local unitary
transformations unless a selection rule is violated. This observation is shown
to be an important factor in the theory of decoherence-free, or noiseless,
subsystems. Experimentally observable consequences and methods for
distinguishing these states are also provided, including the explicit
construction of new decoherence-free or noiseless subsystems from qutrits.
Implications for simulating quantum systems with quantum systems are also
discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figures, Version 2: Typos corrected, references fixed and
