Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Transit time for a round trip to Alpha Centuri....Not every calculation is physically meaningful. Consider that a light ray emitted from earth at the same time that the spaceship... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Undergrad Transit time for a round trip to Alpha Centuri....How? -

Good point. You're right that the step ## A = Q \Lambda Q^T ## requires additional assumptions and does not hold for a completely... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Is this Hessian/spectral viewpoint known?.This will be the case only when your ##H## is symmetric (assuming it's real). It's true for the Hessian since mixed partials commute... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Is this Hessian/spectral viewpoint known?.Could you write this out in mathematics / symbols? I'm not sure I am able to parse this into a known thing. One thing your posts... -

Fair enough. For charge density and similar field theories, first derivatives certainly play a direct physical role, so my statement was... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Is this Hessian/spectral viewpoint known?.Honestly, I don't know. Maybe something like principal axes/directions of curvature (of x,y,z field)? When I think second derivatives... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Is this Hessian/spectral viewpoint known?.Could you give some examples? I'm having a hard time seeing your post as anything more than writing out some mathematical facts. Like... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Polarization Entanglement, following Bohmian ideas and/or orthodox QM.I will try to keep my response as narrow as possible to avoid saying wrong things. You mean post measurement of A right? By postulate... -

Like.
I would say that the swap operation implies the A/D entanglement. The difference is that "implication" is logical rather than physical... -
Matterwave replied to the thread Graduate Polarization Entanglement, following Bohmian ideas and/or orthodox QM.In standard QM, once A is measured to emerge from the V polarization port then B will be in state ##|V\rangle##, but I think you know... -

Skeptical.
Hello. I understand that A and B entangle so that they have same |X>. Alice observes |X>. She anticipates that Bob should observe |X>... -

A new thread has been started by @Demystifier on the topic of how BM accounts for entanglement swapping experiments. The new thread is... -

Yes: it adds the actual position and velocity of each particle. But it also changes how the wave function, which is also present in...
