Time dilation for two clocks at different altitudes on Earth

By static interval I believe you mean the segment of clock's worldline along a part of timelike static congruence. For instance...

Exactly, I was referring to what you described (i.e. measuring frequency shift of a predefined frequency signal sent) as the physical...

Two meetings are required if the clocks are in relative motion at some point. If their arrangement remains static permanently (in some...

I'd add that, since the two clocks involved are fixed at two different location A and B, "clock run faster" is not the same as twin...

Exactly. All the physics lives on the projective space ##\mathbb C\mathrm P^1## (or Bloch sphere); ##\mathbb C^2## is just a convenient...

Ok, so your point is as follows: take the set of qubit's pure states (this is a concrete set, namely the set of qubit's physical pure...

Exactly right. You’re drawing the perfect analogy. Point [a:b] in ##\mathbb C\mathrm P^1## isn’t literally the qubit state, but...

I'd better say: the physical content is in the rays which represent qubit's pure states, however themselves (the rays) are not. Morever...

The vectors ∣0⟩ and ∣1⟩ are not cubit states in themselves, but only their representatives. The only physical content is the rays, that...

Yes, of course. My doubt concerns symbols like ##\ket{\uparrow}## and ##\ket{\uparrow}##. They aren't qubit's pure states, they actually...
