The Quantum Century
... Quantum ideas were soon to make a dramatic comeback. In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and co-workers made one of the most startling discoveries of the century. They demonstrated unequivocally that atoms themselves consist almost entirely of empty space, with negative particles (electrons) somehow circling ...

... • If 0++ decays into a quark and an antiquark, we go from a state with J=L=S=0 to a state which must also have J=L=S=0 • Chiral symmetry requires q and q to have equal chirality (they are not equal to their mirror image) • As a concequence the spins are in the same directions and they sum up. We hav ...

... This is, essentially, a conditional probability. We consider an ensemble ( ensembles in quantum mechanics) of pre- and post-selected quantum systems with the desired outcomes of the measurements at t1 and t2 . Only those systems (and all of them) are taken into account. Intermediate measurement (or ...

In our experiment, typically measuring over a time of 221 s with 7058 coincidence-events in total, we found S = 2.508±0.037, demonstrating the violation of the local realistic limit by more than 13 standard deviations. One of the photon is ...
