the tragedy of modern man in arthur millers world
what miller wants is a theatre of heightened consciousness. he speaks of two passions in a man, the passion to "feel" and the passion "know". he belives that we can have more of the latter. he says: drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us know more and not merely to spend our feelings. the writing of the crucible shows us that he is trying to give more heightene...
15 صفحه اولMaxwell's Demon in Quantum Measurement
Disorder, or entropy, in a microscopic quantum system has been measured by an international group of physicists. The team hopes that the feat will shed light on the "arrow of time": the observation that time always marches towards the future. The experiment involved continually flipping the spin of carbon atoms with an oscillating magnetic field and links the emergence of the arrow of time to q...
متن کاملthird world intellectuals in v. s. naipaul’s fiction: the mimic men, a bend in the river, magic seeds
this thesis attempts to study the representations of the third-world intellectuals in three fictional works by the british-educated trinidadian nobel-winner v. s. naipaul: the mimic men, a bend in the river, and magic seeds. the first one recounts the story of ralph singh’s sense of alienation, his experiences as a colonial politician, and his struggle to give order to his disorderly world thro...
15 صفحه اولMaxwell’s demon and quantum-dot cellular automata
Quantum-dot cellular automata ~QCA! involves representing binary information with the charge configuration of closed cells comprised of several dots. Current does not flow between cells, but rather the Coulomb interaction between cells enables computation to occur. We use this system to explore, quantitatively and in a specific physical system, the relation between computation and energy dissip...
متن کاملObserving a quantum Maxwell demon at work.
In apparent contradiction to the laws of thermodynamics, Maxwell's demon is able to cyclically extract work from a system in contact with a thermal bath, exploiting the information about its microstate. The resolution of this paradox required the insight that an intimate relationship exists between information and thermodynamics. Here, we realize a Maxwell demon experiment that tracks the state...
