The Problem of Unobservable A Defense of Van Fraassenâs Distinction between Observable and Unobservable [PDF]
Metaphysics, 2015 In constructive empiricism Van Fraassen intends to defend the epistemological distinction between truth and empirical adequacy as well as between cognitive belief and pragmatic acceptance, based on epistemological distinction between observable entities ...

Quantum memory assisted observable estimation [PDF]
QuantumThe estimation of many-qubit observables is an essential task of quantum information processing. The generally applicable approach is to decompose the observables into weighted sums of multi-qubit Pauli strings, i.e., tensor products of single-qubit ...

Multi-UAV Mapping and Target Finding in Large, Complex, Partially Observable Environments
Remote Sensing, 2023 Coordinating multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the purposes of target finding or surveying points of interest in large, complex, and partially observable environments remains an area of exploration.

Observable signatures of scotogenic Dirac model
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 In this work, we make a detailed discussion on the phenomenology of the scotogenic Dirac model, which could accommodate the Dirac neutrino mass and dark matter. We have studied the lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) processes in this model, which are mediated

Composition of Partially-Observable Services
IEEE Access, 2019 In this paper, we tackle the problem of controlling the behavior of independent, partially observable services so that they collectively achieve a desired behavior (specification).

If physics is an information science, what is an observer? [PDF]
Information 2012, 3(1), 92-123, 2011 Interpretations of quantum theory have traditionally assumed a "Galilean" observer, a bare "point of view" implemented physically by a quantum system. This paper investigates the consequences of replacing such an informationally-impoverished observer with an observer that satisfies the requirements of classical automata theory, i.e.

Identification of Unobservables in Observations [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In empirical studies, the data usually don't include all the variables of interest in an economic model. This paper shows the identification of unobserved variables in observations at the population level. When the observables are distinct in each observation, there exists a function mapping from the observables to the unobservables.

An optimal observable for color singlet identification
SciPost Physics, 2020 We present a novel approach to construct a color tagger, i.e. an observable that is able to discriminate the decay of a color-singlet into two jets from a two-jet background in a different color configuration. We do this by explicitly taking the ratio of

Post-processing minimal joint observables [PDF]
J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 52 (2019) 065301, 2018 A finite set of quantum observables (positive operator valued measures) is called compatible if these observables are marginals of a some observable, called a joint observable of them. For a given set of compatible observables, their joint observable is in general not unique and it is desirable to take a minimal joint observable in the post-processing ...

Observers, observations and referencing in physics theories [PDF]
, 2020 Is it possible to encompass the full extent of the universe within a theory based on a finite set of first principles and inference rules? The r\^{o}le of observers and observations in physics theories is considered here in the light of G\"{o}del's incompleteness theorem. Physics theories are the sum-total that we -- humans, scientists, physicists --
