The classical three-box paradox of Kirkpatrick [J. Phys. A 36 4891 (2003)] is compared to the original quantum Three-Box paradox of Aharonov and Vaidman [J. Phys. A 24 2315 (1991)]. It is argued that the quantum Three-Box experiment is a…
Nowadays, it is commonly admitted that the experimental violation of Bell's inequalities that was successfully demonstrated in the last decades by many experimenters, are indeed the ultimate proof of quantum physics and of its ability to…
We consider a Dirichlet problem driven by the anisotropic $(p,q)$-Laplacian and with a reaction that has the competing effects of a singular term and of a parametric superlinear perturbation. Based on variational tools along with truncation…
A (p,q)-deformation of the Landau problem in a spherically symmetric harmonic potential is considered. The quantum spectrum as well as space noncommutativity are established, whether for the full Landau problem or its quantum Hall…
The $p$-adic $q$-integral (= $I_q$-integral) was defined by author in the previous paper [1, 3]. In this paper, we consider $I_q$-Fourier transform and investigate some properties which are related to this transform.
As it is well-known one of the most fascinating examples in remarkable discussion between Einstein and Bohr on the conceptual foundation of the quantum mechanics (Heisenberg energy-time uncertainty relation especially) was an experimental…
We show essentially that the differential equation $\frac{\partial (P,Q)}{\partial (x,y)} =c \in {\mathbb C}$, for $P,\,Q \in {\mathbb C}[x,y]$, may be "integrated", in the sense that it is equivalent to an algebraic system of equations…
We establish lower bounds for the $p$-divisibility of the quantity $\#\operatorname{Hom}(G,GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q))$, the number of homomorphisms from $G$ to a general linear group, where $G$ is an Abelian $p$-group. This is in analogy to the…
Our primary purpose is to isolate the abstract, mathematical properties of circuits -- both classical Boolean circuits and quantum circuits -- that are essential for their computational interpretation. A secondary purpose is to clarify the…
In this article, we present a binary tree with vertices given by rational functions $p(x)/q(x)$; the root and functional derivation of children are inspired by continued fractions. We prove some special properties of the tree. For example,…
A $t\text{-}(n,K,\lambda;q)$ design, also called the $q$-analog of a $t$-wise balanced design, is a set ${\mathcal B}$ of subspaces with dimensions contained in $K$ of the $n$-dimensional vector space ${\mathbb F}_q^n$ over the finite field…
It is argued by Duff that only the time variation of dimensionless constants of nature is a legitimate subject of enquiry, and that dimensional constants such as c, h-bar and G... are merely human constructs whose value has no operational…
We prove some results related to the classical Banach--Tarski paradox in the setting of a field $\mathbb{K}$ that is complete with respect to a discrete non-Archimedean valuation (e.g., when $\mathbb{K}$ is the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of…
Let $q$ be a quadratic form over a field $F$ and let $L$ be a field extension of $F$ of odd degree. It is a classical result that if $q_L$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic) then $q$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic). In turn, given two…
This article shows that the there is no paradox. Violation of Bell's inequalities should not be identified with a proof of non locality in quantum mechanics. A number of past experiments is reviewed, and it is concluded that the…
Complex phase factors are viewed not only as redundancies of the quantum formalism but instead as remnants of unitary transformations under which the probabilistic properties of observables are invariant. It is postulated that a quantum…
Differential $p$-forms and $q$-vector fields with constant coefficients are studied. Differential $p$-forms of degrees $p=1,2,n-1,n$ with constant coefficients on a smooth $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ are characterized. In the contravariant…
We investigate the consecutive primes $p$ and $q$ ($p > q$) for which there exists a pair of natural numbers $(x,y)$ such that $p^x-q^y$ is a perfect square and make some conjectures.
Given two arbitrary almost periodic functions with associated Fourier exponents which are linearly independent over the rational numbers, we prove that the existence of a common open vertical strip $V$, where both functions assume the same…
The concept of $q$-deformation, or ``$q$-analogue'' arises in many areas of mathematics. In algebra and representation theory, it is the origin of quantum groups; $q$-deformations are important for knot invariants, combinatorial…
