    Quantum Reality and Measurement: A Quantum Logical Approach

    Full text link
    The recently established universal uncertainty principle revealed that two nowhere commuting observables can be measured simultaneously in some state, whereas they have no joint probability distribution in any state. Thus, one measuring apparatus can simultaneously measure two observables that have no simultaneous reality. In order to reconcile this discrepancy, an approach based on quantum logic is proposed to establish the relation between quantum reality and measurement. We provide a language speaking of values of observables independent of measurement based on quantum logic and we construct in this language the state-dependent notions of joint determinateness, value identity, and simultaneous measurability. This naturally provides a contextual interpretation, in which we can safely claim such a statement that one measuring apparatus measures one observable in one context and simultaneously it measures another nowhere commuting observable in another incompatible context.Comment: 16 pages, Latex.

    Contemporary Unscrambling the Scepticism of Chuang-tzu

    Get PDF
    Based on cognitive relativity, the scepticism of Chuang-tzu concludes that "How can I know it","Don't speak 'yes' or 'no'",suspension of judgement and so on. The scepticism of Chuang-tzu ,which can be expressed by the modes of skepticism advanced by contemporary skeptics and whose arguments include "the closure argument"and"ignorance argument",is not global but local.~

    On Upper Bounds for Toroidal Mosaic Numbers

    Full text link
    In this paper, we work to construct mosaic representations of knots on the torus, rather than in the plane. This consists of a particular choice of the ambient group, as well as different definitions of contiguous and suitably connected. We present conditions under which mosaic numbers might decrease by this projection, and present a tool to measure this reduction. We show that the order of edge identification in construction of the torus sometimes yields different resultant knots from a given mosaic when reversed. Additionally, in the Appendix we give the catalog of all 2 by 2 torus mosaics.Comment: 10 pages, 111 figure

    An Analysis of Mutual Communication between Qubits by Capacitive Coupling

    Get PDF
    A behavior of a two qubit system coupled by the electric capacitance has been studied quantum mechanically. We found that the interaction is essentially the same as the one for the dipole-dipole interaction; i.e., qubit-qubit coupling of the NMR quantum gate. Therefore a quantum gate could be constructed by the same operation sequence for the NMR device if the coupling is small enough. The result gives an information to the effort of development of the devices assuming capacitive coupling between qubits.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures Revised and Replaced on Apr. 8 200
