    Feyerabend: Killing Time at Yale

    with the confused and whining sociologists, or lumped together with them. Yale was my first teaching position, and I owe it to Feyerabend. I was a post-doc at the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science when Feyerabend sent the draft of a paper [2] in which he defended Bohr against Popper’s critique of complementarity to Herbert Feigl, the Director of the Center. Feigl asked me to present a report on the paper. I agreed with Feyerabend’s analysis and added some ...

    Philosophysics: the (pre-)history of quantum foundations in Vienna
    13.01.2023
    publicly acknowledging the prime importance of this field of research. This marks a real turning point: only a couple of decades ago, whoever devoted their time to quantum foundations “was liable to be labelled at best an 'outsider' or at worst a crank” [2]. Even the Irish physicist John S. Bell, who revolutionized this field by deriving the inequalities that bear his name and led to this year's Nobel Prize, at the time of his untimely death in 1990, had received incredibly ...

    have something that you can comfortably adapt to the journal profile, by all means send it to PRL or Nature. I will certainly continue to do this, if only for the benefit of my young co-authors. But don’t neglect writing full length scientific papers[ 2 ], containing all the technical detail needed for other researchers to actually build on your results, and also to detect possible flaws. This is the kind of “peer review” that really matters to science, much more so than the ...

    Why and how “History for Physics”

While for the former purpose history focuses mostly on inspirational anecdotes, the latter has the role of forming a full-fledged quasi-historical narrative to create an internal ideology for the community [2]. As remarked by the prominent Danish historian of science Helge Kragh, this working history of physics “is of the same type as the national or religious history that gives to people a common national background or a common ...

    Quantum learning chosen for IOP Select
    18.11.2009
    completion of learning.We find an explicit example of the task for which numerical simulations show that quantum learning is faster than its classical counterpart. The task is extraction of the kth root of NOT (NOT = logical negation), with k = 2m and m 2 N. The reason for this speed-up is that the classical machine requires memory of size log k = m to accomplish the learning, while the memory of a single qubit is sufficient for the quantum machine for any k.  ...
