For exactly what "half-solves" means, mostly in Section 7.1, see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0003491620300233. Best wishes to Schrödinger's Rat, though I warn you that I also mention the whimsical Cat in section 7.3. If that all seems too ridiculous, think for a moment that Annals of Physics does require a level of mathematics, albeit it's not JMathPhys.

The infinities of the interacting theory are problematic, of course, but the measurement problem looks a little different because stochastic fields are slightly closer to QFTs than classical mechanics is to QM. Leaving the infinities for another day is akin to leaving the measurement problem for another day.

Before scrolling down, close all your house windows, put some loud music and prepare to shout.<br /><br />The problem is: suppose that you violate CHSH by an amount of 2\sqrt{2}-\epsilon. How close is the state in your setup to a two-qubit singlet?<br /><br />Nowhere, nowhere in the RUV paper, or its Supplementary Material, or any talk I have attended about this result, you'll find a concrete answer. You'll just find expressions of the sort O(\sqrt{\epsilon}) for the trace distance; or, equivalently, 1-O(\epsilon) for the singlet fidelity.<br /><br />Well, as it turns out, if you connect different theorems in the Supplementary Material you do find that the singlet fidelity F equals 1-O(\epsilon). More concretely,<br /><br />F>=1-10^6\epsilon.<br /><br />In other words: in order to make a non-trivial prediction with the RUV results, you "only" have to improve the precision of current Bell experiments by four orders of magnitude. A very useful result, indeed! <br /><br />I wonder if the authors are also contemplating to write a paper on cryogenics, explaining how to reanimate a frozen body: "you just repair every single cell membrane, and -hop!- you're done!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090384771662989655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648335853014702781.post-83537761536467380292014-01-15T04:03:15.201-08:002014-01-15T04:03:15.201-08:00I agree in particular with point (2).

It would be easy to set up an Internet vote amongst some sort of lightly restricted population (e.g. active foundationalists under 45 who read at least 10 papers a year.) I suggest the annual winner receives a symbolic one dollar and a paper crown which they can wear at conferences for a year before it needs to be transferred to the next recipient. To rectify long standing injustice, we could kick it off by voting 5 lifetime achievers like Tsirelson.

It was nice because testable, but frankly a bit on the crackpot side. While the tests were being performed, it took me four years (OK, disturbed by an ongoing PhD on magnetic nanostructures) to figure out that the model is actually signaling, contrary to the very spirit in which the original paper was written (http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0110074). So, that's it...<br />... or maybe not: in the process of finding out that the model was signaling, I moved on to conjecture a way of disproving all forms of "hidden signaling" models. This line of thought lead to a very cute paper by Stefan Wolf (http://arxiv.org/abs/1102.5685) before it's completion by some friends, who were kind enough to put my name on the paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.3795).<br />OK OK, maybe all this sucks --- but I had fun ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805311755782104608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648335853014702781.post-56547336471346817902013-11-24T22:18:28.561-08:002013-11-24T22:18:28.561-08:00Hi Miguel,

He had the idea back in 1976, but at that time he had better physics to concentrate on; when he finally published it, he put it (better: buried it) where it should, Foundation of Physics. But then, he shared his idea with Zeilinger's group and --- hey, that is a good work because it gives testable predictions! Their paper, and the hype that followed and to which I contributed, definitely benefited from Leggett being a Nobel Laureate, especially in press releases. But Leggett himself followed these developments with amazing detachment: how many of us would have requested to co-author some of those prestigious publication, given that we all discussed with him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805311755782104608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648335853014702781.post-45547023143417278632013-11-24T09:24:03.853-08:002013-11-24T09:24:03.853-08:00Come on.
