    What are all the physical processes (besides the behavior of polarized photons) that are non-deterministic? Is radioactive decay non-deterministic? Is there a complete list of non-deterministic processes somewhere? Are all non-deterministic processes somehow the same process at their core?

    smalin yes as quantum mechanics describes radioactive decay-yes. Same process at their core? Only in the sense that they are part of the class of non-deterministic things. Ah the point behind quantum mechanics and quantum theory is that what we think as determined is at base, not deterministic.

  • @trafalgarla

    @trafalgarla

    4 жыл бұрын

    It's not an easy question to answer because what is deterministic (or whether anything is deterministic) depends on which interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct and we don't know which one is correct. For example, everything is deterministic in the Many Worlds interpretation, including radioactive decay, since the wave function describes all possible events. Questions about determinism are usually left to philosophers of physics nowadays so the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy is a good starting point to read up on some of it. plato.stanford.edu/entries/determinism-causal/

    There is a difference in the way of thinking of the inequality sign (or information bra-ket) when we see light as Einstein inertial system and when we see light as quantum entanglement information. Is a very effective inertial vector. In quantum information entanglement, since it is not an inertial system, it is considered as |photon:〈xψy〉:photon|, and it is an information system that should be distinguished from the inertial system, but (photon:ψ>)=(photon: :ψ〉), the optical inertial system and the optical information system are equivalent. This is an important lecture from the perspective of consideration.

    Does anyone know what experiments he is referring to when he mentions people have ruled out the argument "It is the unknown subatomic structure of the polarizer that determines which photos pass vs are absorbed?"

    The figure in this explanation would be better if shown in three dimensions. The professor’s explanation describes a plane wave oscillating in a plane parallel to the z-axis at an angle alpha to x--z plane. Then the closer the plane of the wave gets to the x-z plane, the greater the transmission of the wave through the polarizer.

    Polarizers are not filters, they are re-radiators. Imagine two antennas connected by a coaxial cable. The interfaces between glass and air are the antennas and the glass is the coax. Light impinges the front face, just as an antenna. If the antenna's polarization matches, the light enters the glass, propagates and exits according to the polarization of the back face (antenna) of the glass. Using this correct model of a polarizer explains polarization completely and without mystery. Bell's Theorem is not required, only Maxwell's equations.

    Bell just showed that a HVT is non local and, if the formalism of spin is correct, that it is also contextual. Look at the interpretation of spin in the works of David Hestenes and other physicists, and contextuality desappares

    The most interesting thing I found out about Bell’s theorem was that it was based on an error that J.S.Bell found in VonNeumann’s “Mathematical Foundations of QuantumMechanics”

    eastwestcoastkid I’d have to review Bell’s collected published works (papers in scientific journals) as I believe it may have been referenced in at least one of his papers, and no.... I decided that an experiment was not necessary at the time, some years before Alain Aspect was funded for his own research, which found the expected result (in support of Quantum Theory). I eventually left Physics research, after switching to the low temperature physics group, and some five years after leaving that, left teaching for another career path.

    From Rene (Decartes)'s Materialism to Russell (Bertrand)'s Mechanicalism..our view on the Materialistic world was profound and set forth every Rational Aspect of our understanding. So we call the elementary ingredients study, the PARTICLEs Physics, due to Democritus 's undividable Atoms (though later we found many "p" are much smaller than 'P'). Light is particle called Photon, electric is classified as lepton, 900 times smaller than Proton (Neutron). Even binding Energy we considered them as Gluons-exchanged ? And same as gravity, forcefully we try to MAKE such Interaction as GRAVITON exchange process, another kind of tiny(minute) PARTICLE as well. All were found by materialistic view of the universe, Interacted together with some deterministic MECHANISM, either exact or by STATISTICS (that You consider it UNdeterministic.)

    So... does that mean photons are constantly changing states, (polarization but not frequency?), before they are measured, because they exist as a wave function? Is that why when sent through one at a time all go through or none do? Moreover, why is it that when polarized light is sent through three polarizers, at right angles to each other... some light gets through? Is it because since it is not measured, some photons in the wave state change polarization between polarizers? Then why do three allow passage but two block all light? Plus why is it a wave function rather than a matrix of possibilities?

    Even Bell himself didn’t think that he proved the impossibility of hidden variables. Travis Norsen: in his book (titled ‘Foundations of Quantum Mechanics’) says: “There is a kind of rich and tragic irony here, in citing Bell as having supposedly refuted hidden variables theories …, Bell’s theorem was actually inspired by Bohm’s 1952 pilot-wave theory papers, and indeed Bell remained far and away the pilot-wave theory’s greatest champion until his death in 1990.”

    are coefficients cos (\alpha) and sin (\alpha) sort of fitting parameter then? or do they have a theoretical origin given alpha is the state prescribed to this classical state of polarization?

    Isn't the wave/particle theory of photons the essence of the schroedinger's cat thought experiment? it seems to me photon detection by the retina is deterministic but the perception of it by our brain (and us by extension) is metaphysical

    What if _i_ - the imaginary component of the wavefunction - is the "hidden variable" that Einstein theorized might be present for photons? I mean, it isn't unreasonable to expect the _i_ component to have _some_ physical manifestation, is it?
