Let we have ##J_i \in{J_1,J_2,J_3}## ,and ##K_i \in{K_1,K_2,K_3}##, rotation and boost generators respectable .

##A_i=\cfrac{1}{2}(J_i+iK_i)##, and

##[A_i,A_j]=i\epsilon_{ijk}A_k##

##[K_i,K_j]=-i\epsilon_{ijk}J_k##

##[J_i,K_j]=-i\epsilon_{ijk}K_k##

How proof that ##(m,n)A_i=J^{(m)}_i\otimes I_n## ?

I was proof that ##(m,n)(J_i+iK_i)=J^{(m)}_i\otimes I_n +I_m\otimes J^{(n)}_i \neq J^{(m)}_i\otimes I_n##

by definition that ## (m,n)(J_i,K_i)=J^{(m)}_i\otimes I_n + I_m\otimes K^{(n)}_i##

I was read Weinberg QFT Foundations , page 253 .

but i can't proof it .The result follows from the definition of the tensor product and the property that the generators of rotations and boosts commute with themselves. That is, the equation $$(m,n)(J_i+iK_i)=J^{(m)}_i\otimes I_n +I_m\otimes J^{(n)}_i$$holds because $$J_i\otimes I_n + I_m \otimes J_i = J_i\otimes I_n + I_m \otimes J_i$$ and $$K_i\otimes I_n + I_m \otimes K_i = K_i\otimes I_n + I_m \otimes K_i$$where $J_i$ and $K_i$ are the generators of rotations and boosts respectively.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
