Re-assessment of the state of Schroedinger's cat, final version

, 2012
The quantum state of Schroedinger's cat is usually incorrectly described as a superposition of "dead" and "alive," despite an argument by Rinner and Werner that, locally, the cat should be considered to be in a mixture of non-superposed states.

AI-generated art perceptions with GenFrame -- an image-generating picture frame [PDF]

Image-generation models are changing how we express ourselves in visual art. However, what people think of AI-generated art is still largely unexplored, especially compared to traditional art. In this paper, we present the design of an interactive research product, GenFrame - an image-generating picture frame that appears as a traditional painting but ...

Quantum realism is consistent with quantum facts

, 2018
Despite the unparalleled accuracy of quantum-theoretical predictions across an enormous range of phenomena, the theory's foundations are still in doubt. The theory deviates radically from classical physics, predicts counterintuitive phenomena, and seems ...

Local antithetic sampling with scrambled nets

, 2008
We consider the problem of computing an approximation to the integral $I=\int_{[0,1]^d}f(x) dx$. Monte Carlo (MC) sampling typically attains a root mean squared error (RMSE) of $O(n^{-1/2})$ from $n$ independent random function evaluations.

Resolving the problem of definite outcomes of measurements

, 2015
The heart of the measurement puzzle, namely the problem of definite outcomes, remains unresolved. This paper shows that Josef Jauch's 1968 reduced density operator approach is the solution, even though many question it: The entangled "Measurement State ...

Monkeys get a silver in Abstract Art Olympics [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
Experiment shows that art students prefer abstract art to monkey art in about two-third of the cases. Since the number is above 50%, some argue that abstract art is different and better than animal art. I compare this result with figure skating competitions, where on average 73% of judges prefer gold medalist to silver medalist.

Two-photon interferometry illuminates quantum measurements

, 2013
The quantum measurement problem still finds no consensus. Nonlocal interferometry provides an unprecedented experimental probe by entangling two photons in the "measurement state" (MS).

Training on Art Composition Attributes to Influence CycleGAN Art Generation [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
I consider how to influence CycleGAN, image-to-image translation, by using additional constraints from a neural network trained on art composition attributes. I show how I trained the the Art Composition Attributes Network (ACAN) by incorporating domain knowledge based on the rules of art evaluation and the result of applying each art composition ...

Solution of the problem of definite outcomes of quantum measurements

, 2017
Theory and experiment both demonstrate that an entangled quantum state of two subsystems is neither a superposition of states of its subsystems nor a superposition of composite states but rather a coherent superposition of nonlocal correlations between ...

The Seven Sleepers And The Seven Kneelers: Prolegomena To A Study Of The Belles Verrières Of The Cathedral Of Rouen [PDF]

, 1986
The recomposed, much-altered, and partially dispersed vestiges of the original nave-aisle glazing of Rouen Cathedral--the so-called Belles Verrières --constitute one of the most important but least studied ensembles of early 13th-century French stained ...
