We find it absurd that Walliser [1] essentially used the same analysis and obtained identical results as reported in [3], yet arrived at different conclusions. Namely, based on an incomplete theory and using erroneous arguments, he not only…
Expanded and updated version of a talk originally presented at ``IVth Int. Symp. on Pion--Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon'', Bad Honnef, 9--13 September 1991, originally published in $\pi N$ Newletter 6 (1992) 21--32. Table…
In the US, `black box' studies are increasingly being used to estimate the error rate of forensic disciplines. A sample of forensic examiner participants are asked to evaluate a set of items whose source is known to the researchers but not…
Quantum communication offers unique features that have no classical analog, in particular, it enables provably secure quantum key distribution (QKD). Despite the benefits of quantum communication are well understood within the scientific…
The quantum eraser variant of the double-slit experiment, and its 'delayed choice' sub-variant, are considered from the perspective of weak value and weak measurement theory (which is briefly reintroduced here). The interference fringes…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author, due to errors in the figures.
A recent publication [D.G. Jenkins, Phys. Rev. C \textbf{80}, 054303 (2009)] claims to discredit the experimental observation of two-proton decay of the (21$^+$) high-spin isomer in $^{94}$Ag [I. Mukha \emph{et al.,} Nature (London)…
With the exception of superselection rules, there are no known explicit violations of the Principle of quantum Superposition. However, quantum measurement and the emergence of classicality seem to imply that the Principle of Superposition…
In previous work, I described several examples combining reduction and emergence: where reduction is understood a la Ernest Nagel, and emergence is understood as behaviour or properties that are novel (by some salient standard). Here, my…
In order to study updating rules, we consider the problem of a malevolent principal screening an imperfectly Bayesian agent. We uncover a fundamental dichotomy between underreaction and overreaction to information. If an agent's posterior…
Paul Anglin criticised our analysis of the neoclassical theory of the firm, but makes a number of incorrect assertions about our assumptions. We correct these misunderstandings, but acknowledge that one criticism he makes is correct. We…
Anomaly detection aims at identifying images that deviate significantly from the norm. We focus on algorithms that embed the normal training examples in space and when given a test image, detect anomalies based on the features distance to…
Quantum interference phenomena are widely viewed as posing a challenge to the classical worldview. Feynman even went so far as to proclaim that they are the only mystery and the basic peculiarity of quantum mechanics. Many have also argued…
In the the double-slit experiment, nonclassical paths are Feynman paths that go through both slits. Prior work with atom cavities as which-way detectors in the double-slit experiment has shown these paths to be experimentally inaccessible.…
Physicist and Nobel Laureate Richard P. Feynman once remarked ``We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality,…
We comment on the paper "On application of the time-energy uncertainty relation to M\"ossbauer neutrino experiments" (see arXiv: 0803.1424) in which our paper "Time-energy uncertainty relations for neutrino oscillation and M\"ossbauer…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial argument error at p.10.
We provide a quantum approach description of neutron single and double-slit diffraction, with specific attention to the cold neutron diffraction ($\lambda \approx 20$\AA) carried out by Zeilinger et al. in 1988. We find the theoretical…
In the standard quantum theory, one can measure precisely only a subset of the incompatible observables. It results in lack of a formal joint probability defining objective realism even if we accept nonlocal or certain faster-than-light…
Quantum mechanics marks a radical departure from the classical understanding of Nature, fostering an inherent randomness which forbids a deterministic description; yet the most fundamental departure arises from something different. As shown…
