The kh{\^o}ra and the two-triangle universe of Plato’s Timaeus. (arXiv:2008.11947v1 [math.HO]) 上午8:56 | physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org Authors: Luc Brisson, Salomon Ofman (IMJ-PRG (UMR\_7586)) The main purpose of this article is to try to understand the connection between the physical universe and the mathematical principles that underlies the cosmological account of the Timaeus. Aristotle’s common criticism of Plato’s cosmology is that he confuses… Read more →

Meaning relativism and subjective idealism 上午8:00 | Latest Results for Synthese Abstract The paper discusses an objection, put forward by—among others—John McDowell, to Kripke’s Wittgenstein’s non-factualist and relativist view of semantic discourse. The objection goes roughly as follows: while it is usually possible to be a relativist about a given domain of discourse without being a relativist about anything else,… Read more →

How to switch between relational quantum clocks. (arXiv:1810.04153v2 [gr-qc] UPDATED) 上午9:37 | gr-qc updates on arXiv.org Authors: Philipp A Hoehn, Augustin Vanrietvelde Every clock is a physical system and thereby ultimately quantum. A naturally arising question is how to describe time evolution relative to quantum clocks and, specifically, how the dynamics relative to different quantum clocks are related. This is a pressing… Read more →

The Connection between Bohmian Mechanics and Many-Particle Quantum Hydrodynamics 上午8:00 | Latest Results for Foundations of Physics Abstract Bohm developed the Bohmian mechanics (BM), in which the Schrödinger equation is transformed into two differential equations: a continuity equation and an equation of motion similar to the Newtonian equation of motion. This transformation can be executed both for single-particle systems and… Read more →

Observations of coherence de Broglie waves. (arXiv:2007.04738v1 [quant-ph]) 上午10:12 | Byoung S. Ham | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org Photonic de Broglie waves (PBWs) via two-mode entangled photon pair interactions on a beam splitter show a pure quantum feature which cannot be obtained by classical means1-4.

The appearance of particle tracks in detectors. (arXiv:2007.00785v1 [math-ph]) 上午9:14 | Miguel Ballesteros, Tristan Benoist, Martin Fraas, Jürg Fröhlich | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org The phenomenon that a quantum particle propagating in a detector, such as a Wilson cloud chamber, leaves a track close to a classical trajectory is analyzed. We introduce an idealized quantum-mechanical model of a charged particle… Read more →
