Roberto Pavani's latest activity
-
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.A simple 5-qubit circuit (GHZ-like + ancilla) demonstrates @PeterDonis' point concretely: the full ensemble of q1,q2 measurements shows... -
Roberto Pavani reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics with
Like.
Note, though, that you have to do postselection of the data from the A and D measurements regardless of whether A and D are measured... -
Roberto Pavani reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics with Like.
I think now the real issue is this. If the interaction between B and C happens after the measurement of A and D, are A and D entangled...

Roberto Pavani reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Double Stern-Gerlach with an Intermediate Electron Cloud with Like.
Your reason is basically that you want to measure the magnitude of magnetic moments. But there are much simpler ways of measuring the...
-
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Double Stern-Gerlach with an Intermediate Electron Cloud.I agree that spectroscopy would probably be a much more direct way to determine the final electronic configuration. My reason for...

Roberto Pavani reacted to PeterDonis's post in the thread Graduate Double Stern-Gerlach with an Intermediate Electron Cloud with Like.
The way to answer that would be to calculate the energy of each state. Note that by calling the ##5s^2## state the "ground" state you...

Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Double Stern-Gerlach with an Intermediate Electron Cloud.Suppose electron attachment to a Stern-Gerlach selected Ag beam occurs with non-negligible probability. Is the capture expected to...
-
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Double Stern-Gerlach with an Intermediate Electron Cloud.The deeper reason I am interested in this setup is that, in the standard Stern-Gerlach sequence with orthogonal analyzers, the second...
-
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Double Stern-Gerlach with an Intermediate Electron Cloud.You're right. Once electron attachment occurs, the resulting Ag- ions are no longer neutral, so a conventional second Stern-Gerlach...

Roberto Pavani posted the thread Graduate Double Stern-Gerlach with an Intermediate Electron Cloud in Quantum Physics.I am trying to understand what standard atomic physics predicts for the following thought experiment, and whether anything similar has...
-
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate What would happen if we changed the quantifiers in a continuity of a function?.Your question is not clear to me. ## \exists \epsilon >0 \forall \delta>0 \forall x(|x-x_0|<\delta \rightarrow |f(x)-f(x_0)|<\epsilon)...

Roberto Pavani reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread Graduate Pilot wave persistence after measurement in Bohmian entanglement with Like.
It depends on what you mean by "physics". If by physics you mean making measurable predictions and nothing else, then you don't need BM...

Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Pilot wave persistence after measurement in Bohmian entanglement.Thank you, this is very clear and gives me a useful way to think about it. The gauge analogy is particularly helpful.
-
Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Pilot wave persistence after measurement in Bohmian entanglement.Probably I'm misreading the definition, so let me rephrase. In BM there is a family of parallel spacelike hypersurfaces (one for each...

Roberto Pavani replied to the thread Graduate Pilot wave persistence after measurement in Bohmian entanglement.This confuses me, especially the part "for all particles in the whole universe". This seems to me like to say "there is no preferred...
