Vindication of Quantum Locality1
نویسنده
چکیده
In a previous paper Hayden and I proved, using the Heisenberg picture, that quantum physics satisfies Einstein’s criterion of locality. Wallace and Timpson have argued that certain transformations of the Heisenbergpicture description of a quantum system must be regarded as leaving invariant the factual situation being described, and that taking this into account reveals that Einstein’s criterion is violated after all. Here I vindicate the proof and explain some misconceptions that have led to this and other criticisms of it.

The Final Vindication
that it formed " the vindication of Voluntaryism." The coping-stone has since been placed upon that vindication by the publication of the report upon the income and expenditure in 1923 of 116 London hospitals which has been prepared under the direction of the Hospital Economy Committee of King Edward's Hospital Fund for London. The most cursory examination of this extraordinarily interesting do...
متن کاملJoyce’s Argument for Probabilism
James Joyce’s ‘Nonpragmatic Vindication of Probabilism’ gives a new argument for the conclusion that a person’s credences ought to satisfy the laws of probability. The premises of Joyce’s argument include six axioms about what counts as an adequate measure of the distance of a credence function from the truth. This paper shows that (a) Joyce’s argument for one of these axioms is invalid, (b) hi...
متن کاملVindication of Yb2Ti2O7 as a model exchange quantum spin ice.
We use numerical linked-cluster expansions to compute the specific heat C(T) and entropy S(T) of a quantum spin ice Hamiltonian for Yb2Ti2O7 using anisotropic exchange interactions, recently determined from inelastic neutron scattering measurements, and find good agreement with experimental calorimetric data. This vindicates Yb2Ti2O7 as a model quantum spin ice. We find that in the perturbative...
متن کاملThe connotation of the Quantum Traditional Chinese Medicine and the exploration of its experimental technology system for diagnosis.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) developed based on ancient Chinese philosophy. Its characteristics include abstract theories, fuzzy concepts, subjective diagnostic methods and it lacks clarity, and rigor as well as vindication from modern sciences, which makes development of TCM remain stagnant. Thus, how to free the theory of TCM from heavy philosophy to achieve separation of medicine and p...
