    Paul Feyerabend: Between Physics and Philosophy
    04.03.2021
    early 1970s, however, most of these thinkers had fallen under Feyerabend’s irreverent critical spear as lunatics of a sort, affected by “a previously unknown form of insanity” in their allegedly self-referential and irrelevant ruminations about science [2]. More likely and importantly, that narrative would have echoed, in Feyerabend’s mind, the outstanding tradition of Viennese scientist-philosophers epitomized by the figures of Ludwig Boltzmann and Ernst Mach. These men ...

    Entanglement and nonlocality in infinite quantum systems

    They also prove that the local statistics arising from infinite 1D translation-invariant classical systems live inside a polyhedron in probability space, for which they provide an analytic characterization. This is a surprising discovery, since, in 2D, the corresponding set of probability vectors has both flat and smoothly curved boundaries and the laws of logic are not powerful enough to characterize it completely. To obtain their results, the researchers relied on a number ...

    Interference as an information-theoretic game

    tubes. When Alice inserts an ordinary classical marble, it is as if she inserted 1 penny. On the other hand, as quantum theory allows marbles to "pass through 2 tubes at the same time", each quantum marble is worth 2 pennies. The value of the tokens is additive: for example, in order to win the game, Alice can either insert 4 classical marbles or 2 quantum marbles, as the total token value is in both cases equal to 4 pennies", explains Sebastian Horvat. On the other hand, ...

We are working on a series of updates and proposals that we want to discuss with the community in going forward: Modernising peer review: The traditional peer review model of one editor corresponding with 2-3 referees is owed to the limitations of 20 th century communication. We’ve launched following this basic structure, with some moderately innovative updates, because this is what we as a community are used to and we didn’t ...

In a 2005 report, Deutsche Bank expressed this very clearly: “ the state funds most research, pays the salaries of most of those checking the quality of research, and then buys most of the published product ” [2] . Thus, commercial publishers have proved admirably smart by letting the state pay for the production of knowledge, while managing to become, at the end of day, the owner of this knowledge and in a position to sell it.

    A Simple and Robust Method for Estimating Afterpulsing in Single Photon Detectors
    14.09.2015
    is easily realizable in hardware allowing for a quick assessment of single photon counting detectors. Fundamentally, similar to [ 2 ] it is based on a linear regression fit of the detection events’ histogram in contrast to an approximation (second order Taylor series expansion) of the afterpulsing waiting probability suggested in [ 1 ]. Simultaneously in contrast to [ 2 ] a precise mathematical derivation of the waiting probability of detection events is put forward and the ...
