In a previous paper the authors applied the Abstract Interpretation approach for approximating the probabilistic semantics of biological systems, modeled specifically using the Chemical Ground Form calculus. The methodology is based on the…
This paper continues the discussion of the thermal interpretation of quantum physics. While Part II and Part III of this series of papers explained and justified the reasons for the departure from tradition, the present Part IV summarizes…
Quantum theory's irreducible empirical core is a probability calculus. While it presupposes the events to which (and on the basis of which) it serves to assign probabilities, and therefore cannot account for their occurrence, it has to be…
I discuss the indefinite metrical structure of the time-space translations as realized in the indefinite inner products for relativistic quantum fields, familiar in the example of quantum gauge fields. The arising indefinite unitary…
The existence of probability in the sense of the frequency interpretation, i.e. probability as "long term relative frequency," is shown to follow from the dynamics and the interpretational rules of Everett quantum mechanics in the…
We present our program for the development of quantum informational concepts in relativistic systems in terms of the unequal-time correlation functions of quantum fields. We employ two formalisms that provide the basis for further…
In the state-vector space for relativistic quantum fields a new set of basis vectors are introduced, which are taken to be eigenstates of the field operators themselves. The corresponding eigenvalues are then interpreted as representing…
The axiomatic Wightman formulation for nonderivative conformal field theory is adopted to derive conformal bootstrap equation for the four point function. The equivalence between PCT theorem and {\it weak local commutativity}, due to Jost,…
This chapter reexamines wave function realism (WFR) through the lens of phenomenology. We begin by situating WFR within the broader debate about the ontology of the quantum state and the temptation to "read off" metaphysics from…
Weak value amplification (WVA) is a concept that has been extensively used in a myriad of applications with the aim of rendering measurable tiny changes of a variable of interest. In spite of this, there is still an on-going debate about…
We discuss the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics, apply it to several counter-intuitive quantum optics experiments (two-slit, quantum eraser, trapped atom, ...) and describe a mathematical model that shows how transactions…
The reflection, transmission and absorption of a symmetric electromagnetic pulse, which carrying frequency is close to the frequency of an interband transition in a QW (QW), are obtained. The energy levels of a QW are assumed discrete, one…
Exploiting the dynamics of Plasmonic Parametric Resonance (PPR), we introduce the theory of Plasmonic Parametric Absorbers (PPA). The key insight informing the PPA idea is that in the PPR process a pump field experiences an extinction rate…
The interpretation of quantum theory known as QBism argues that many elements of the formalism have a subjective interpretation. At the same time, QBism claims to be a broadly realist program. This implies that reality in QBism must be…
Quantum measurement is a fundamental concept in the field of quantum mechanics. The action of quantum measurement, leading the superposition state of the measured quantum system into a definite output state, not only reconciles…
For a quantum particle interacting with a short-range potential, we estimate from below the shift of its binding threshold, which is due to the particle interaction with a quantized radiation field.
Quantum coherence as an asymmetry relative to a translation group generated by a Hermitian operator, is a necessary resource for the quantum parameter estimation. On the other hand, the sensitivity of the parameter estimation is known to be…
Mechanistic Interpretability aims to understand neural networks through causal explanations. We argue for the Explanatory View Hypothesis: that Mechanistic Interpretability research is a principled approach to understanding models because…
The quadratic phase Fourier transform has gained much popularity in recent years because of its applications in image and signal processing. However, the QPFT is inadequate for localizing the quadratic phase spectrum which is required in…
I discuss the process of measurement in the context of a communication system. The setting is a transmitter which encodes some physical object and sends it off, a receiver which measures some property of the transmitted physical object…
