Experimental Demonstration of Input-Output Indefiniteness in a Single Quantum Device [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters
Quantum theory allows information to flow through a single device in a coherent superposition of two opposite directions, resulting into situations where the input-output direction is indefinite.

Indefinite

2022
Abstract Indefinite is the first major ethnographic study of American jails since the advent of racialized mass incarceration. The author was confined in a southern California county jail system during which time he conducted what he calls an organic ethnography of jail life.

Indefinite Delivery–Indefinite Quantity Contracting

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
Indefinite delivery–indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts permit a transportation agency to award multiple job orders to a single contractor or a small group of competing contractors; this method eliminates the need to conduct a full procurement for every small construction or maintenance project.

The Indefinite "It"

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968
"It" is probably the most overworked word in the J_ English language. In English, unlike most other languages in common use, the gender of a noun is rarely significant. The overwhelming majority of English nouns are considered neuter, and "it" serves as the appropriate pronoun, with a definite reference.

Presupposing indefinite descriptions☆

Journal of Pragmatics, 2021
Abstract The IMPAQTS corpus of Italian political speeches annotated per implicit contents contains recurrent examples of NPs introduced by indefinite articles which are characterized by anaphoric specific reference: (Questa legge) hanno tentato di dichiararla anticostituzionale per non applicarla a una persona che si ritiene al di sopra della ...

An efficient indefiniteness inference scheme in indefinite deductive databases

IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 1994
We introduce an inference scheme, based on the compilation approach, that can answer "true," provable-false," "indefinite," or "assumable-false" to a closed query in an indefinite deductive database under the generalized closed world assumption. The inference scheme proposed in this paper consists of a representation scheme and an evaluation process ...

Indefinite integration with validation

ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 1989
We present an overview of two approaches to validated one-dimensional indefinite integration. The first approach is to find an inclusion of the integrand, then integrate this inclusion to obtain an inclusion of the indefinite integral. Inclusions for the integrand may be obtained from Taylor polynomials, Tschebyscheff polynomials, or other ...

Indefinite abductive explanations

Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics, 2019
ABSTRACTThis paper stems from previous works of the authors in which a new measure of the simplicity of an explanation based on its degree of arbitrariness is proposed: The more the explanation is ...

Indefinite Quadratic Forms

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1987
Let Q be a quadratic form, \(Q=L^ 2_ 1+... +L^ 2_ r-... -L^ 2_ n\) where \(L_ 1,...,L_ n\) are real linearly independent quadratic forms. If \(n=18\), \(r=9\); \(n=19\), \(8\leq r\leq 11\); or \(n=20\), \(7\leq r\leq 13\), then we can solve \(| Q(x)| 0\). This extends work of Davenport, Birch and Ridout.
