The heuristic function of duality 上午8:00 | Latest Results for Synthese Abstract I conceptualise the role of dualities in quantum gravity, in terms of their functions for theory construction. I distinguish between two functions of duality in physical practice: namely, discovering and describing ‘equivalent physics’, versus suggesting ‘new physics’. I dub these the ‘theoretical’ versus the ‘heuristic’ functions of dualities. The distinction… Read more →

Direct measurement of a nonlocal entangled quantum state. (arXiv:1910.10933v1 [quant-ph]) 2019年10月25日 星期五 下午4:18 | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org Authors: Wei-Wei Pan, Xiao-Ye Xu, Yaron Kedem, Qin-Qin Wang, Zhe Chen, Munsif Jan, Kai Sun, Jin-Shi Xu, Yong-Jian Han, Chuan-Feng Li, Guang-Can Guo Entanglement and wave function description are two of the core concepts that make quantum mechanics such a unique theory. A method to directly measure the wave function, using Weak Values,… Read more →

MOND vs. dark matter in light of historical parallels. (arXiv:1910.04368v1 [astro-ph.GA]) 2019年10月11日 星期五 下午8:32 | physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org Authors: Mordehai Milgrom MOND is a paradigm that contends to account for the mass discrepancies in the Universe without invoking `dark’ components, such as `dark matter’ and `dark energy’. It does so by supplanting Newtonian dynamics and General Relativity, departing from them… Read more →

Generalised Reichenbachian common cause systems 上午8:00 | Latest Results for Synthese Abstract The principle of the common cause claims that if an improbable coincidence has occurred, there must exist a common cause. This is generally taken to mean that positive correlations between non-causally related events should disappear when conditioning on the action of some underlying common cause. The extended interpretation… Read more →
