Measurement in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Progress of Theoretical Physics, 1960 In quantum mechanics it is well known that, if any two states are superposed, they interfere with each other. It is true, we should not deny such interference in principle, but we may assert what follows. When two states different from each other in a great many degrees of freedom are superposed, the interference effect becomes obscure. If they are dif·

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ferroelectric nanoclusters create local internal fields in a normally non‐switchable polar film because of polarization mismatch at their interfaces. That field opposes polarization in the regions with larger polarization and reinforces polarization in the regions with smaller polarization.

Probability in the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2011 It is argued that, although in the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics there is no ``probability'' for an outcome of a quantum experiment in the usual sense, we can understand why we have an illusion of probability. The explanation involves:

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Photoaligned and photopatterned liquid crystal platforms provide programmable control of optical phase, polarization, and spin‐orbit interactions, enabling compact generation of structured light and complex wavefronts. This review highlights how tailored molecular orientations transform simple beams into designed optical fields, opening versatile ...

Single-photon test of hyper-complex quantum theories using a metamaterial
Nature Communications, 2017 Hyper-complex quantum theories are generalizations of quantum mechanics where amplitudes are generalized complex numbers. Here the authors study phase commutation in a photonic experiment, reporting consistency with standard quantum mechanics and placing

Bohm's Ontological Interpretation and Its Relations to Three Formulations of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 1998 The standard mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics is specified. Bohm's ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics is then shown to be incapable of providing a suitable interpretation of that formulation.

A Reconstruction of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2015 We formulate a general principle that supplants a Boolean σ-algebra of intrinsic properties of a classical system by a σ-complex (a union of σ-algebras) of extrinsic properties of a quantum system that are elicited by interactions with other systems.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

Is string interaction the origin of quantum mechanics?
Physics Letters B, 2014 String theory was developed by demanding consistency with quantum mechanics. In this paper we wish to reverse the reasoning. We pretend that open string field theory is a fully consistent definition of the theory – it is at least a self-consistent sector.
