I think I have figured out the basics of how qubits must work.

They certainly do not represent multiple states simultaneously. Rather, they must be oscillators and run through various states over time. Thus also the problem of coherence: they must be kept coherent both in frequency and phase.

And also there is a CONTINUOUS TIME ELEMENT that probably is not accounted for in "quantum" computer theory (which is certainly a very bogus theory, for other reasons).

It is really odd how the #science hashtag in a bio so little correlates with an actual interest in things scientific.

I was raised in science, basically, with a chemist as father, who concocted chemicals in the kitchen as an example for the Cub Scouts. Before the more benighted ‘Cosmos’ era. Rather, in the era of erector sets, chemistry sets, and passive, unamplified germanium diode AM radios. We made a family trip to Edmund Scientific and I still have a magnet from the defectives bin there.

@pfpoitras It's really sad , because if I succeed in getting the word out it will put a lot of people out of work and invalidate a lot of PhD dissertations. But the fact simply is that quantum physics is filled with complete incompetents. The CHSH inequality test is the obvious product of physics ignoramuses.

PLEASE let me try to explain what I have shown. It is that the individual detector counts do change as you rotate the PBS/magnets in unison, but the correlations stay INVARIANT.

The way electrical engineers wrote quantum algorithms in the before-time, it is as if they knew these computers were a kind of hybrid computer and didn't care how they worked. Which is probably mostly true. It was probably signal processing people like me, and I wouldn't have cared, back then.

It's a shame. Electronics hobby types would have cared and would have hooked up a machine out of components. That would have shattered the myths concocted by the quantum pseudoscience cult.

I am considering adding a #RosettaCode task, ‘BCD integer division with remainder’.

The reason for BCD is that it can be done in more languages than other practical uses of long division, it helps resolve an ambiguity about one of the major steps, and it will let me provide specific test cases.

This division as done by Knuth is quite a complex operation, which I had coded incorrectly for a long time. I had generated the wrong test cases! And so missed my bug.

@pfpoitras I think you will find that any time one uses a linear space representation there will appear "superpositions", simply because that is what is what it MEANS to use a linear space representation! :) They are called "linear combinations" by mathematicians, as you know.

In QM it is a state space, isn't it, and so an abstract tool—actually NOT supposed to correspond to the physical object AT ALL? So it seems to me doubly irritating that even the slightest confusion exists. :)

I unapologetically profess the practicing and conduct of particular habits in evaluating the age-old problems of humankind. I believe—and really do believe—that developing these habits can make a person effectively "smarter" than "geniuses".

The reason is simple: "geniuses" are actually people who have struggled the most notably with ineffective habits that give them incorrect results.

NASA may string itself along with this ‘signs of ancient life on Mars’ stuff, but organic molecules, etc., are actually what one should call ‘failure to disprove ancient life’.

There was no life on Mars.

Now watch that be disproved after I’ve passed away. So be it. I couldn’t care less, one way or the other. What’s it to me if there were ever life on Mars that isn’t now? I can’t either eat it or let it be. And NASA and Some Lunk wants to destroy it together, anyway. They are Hard SF jackasses.

The difference between a peer reviewed paper and a non-peer reviewed paper in general will be degree of editorial polish.

That is it.

Don't let anyone trick you into thinking otherwise. They either are misinformed themselves or are scoundrels.

For crying out loud.

I just realized that, in Grover’s algorithm, the Hadamard transform is NOT being used as a state transition, even though Grover derives it as one and describes it as one.

It is being used in its conventional way, as an isomorphic transform for computational convenience.

The current state is transformed to a ‘frequency domain’. All components but the original ‘average’ and the solution are rotated. The state is transformed back.

DAMN THESE OBFUSCATING WRITERS!

Okay, my first insight of the day is that a qubit surely cannot be anything more complicated than a three-state register. It’s either zero, one, or ‘don’t know yet’.

@pfpoitras I just woke up and in my sleep this must have occurred to me.

There is a simple rule of thumb that I apply that somehow eludes most physicists. It affects how they interpret Einstein's gravity theory, too:

THE MATHEMATICAL REPRESENTATION IS ARBITRARY.

It is of no significance. The Hilbert space means nothing. You can solve the problems without it. That space-time is curved as it is in general relativity is because he wrote it in terms of inertial coordinate systems. Etc.

OMG what a cult the Bohr cult is!

I think I am going to try to make an actual experimental device THAT JOHN STEWART BELL COULD HAVE MADE though of course he was at CERN and could have programmed a computer and so experimented more straightforwardly.

This device will disprove the stupid #quantum #entanglement #non-locality #irreducibility claptrap superstitious pseudoscience cult doctrine.

It will be a sort of quarter-circle pan, with an adjustable radial baffle, into which go little colored beads.

That is it.

I am ending up with too many of these.

At random, a transmitter sends AB or BA. A receiver receives the signal and separates the halves. A half signal A it converts to +1 with probability cos²(x), -1 with probability sin²(x), for some angle x. A half signal B it converts to +1 with probability sin²(x), to -1 with probability cos²(x). For the first half signal the angle is u and for the second half signal the angle is v.

What is the correlation coefficient?...

Quantum theorists are swindlers. Oh, they won’t admit it even to themselves, but they are swindlers. How many swindlers won’t admit it to themselves?

But, if you keep making excuses for defying the hard and fast rules of mathematics, in a mathematical field, and you take $$$$$$$$$$$$ galore for doing that, using the modern ‘peer reviewed journal’ system to sell your snake oil, what can I call you but a swindler?

You are swindlers, if you do that. Thieves.

That is why I am so damn scared...

I do not want to make this part of the original thread: https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/110821102660781149

It is not very helpful to lump ‘plastics’ together as a group. ‘Plastics’ is a diverse group of materials.

For instance, you may think it is all made from petroleum, but this is not so. When they say your washcloth is made from ‘bamboo’, they are very cleverly telling you that your washcloth is made from rayon.

Here is the first real draft of my new #HiddenVariables simulation of an EPR-B experiment:

https://pastebin.com/VHQ6fnGt

This version does NOT ‘swap channels’, as have my earlier versions, and therefore is unobjectionable in that regard.

(Channel-swapping is mathematically equivalent, ‘in the limit as n->infinity’. Nonetheless it did not give strictly correct statistics for the simulation. It gave merely a less accurate approximation.)

Once again in the unhealthy "red" air today.

You know, you read things like Jack Smith’s indictments of Donald Trump, and you can read them.

And then you read stuff like what lawyer dude was saying to me yesterday about what a juror is supposed to do, and it is verbal oatmeal. It makes no sense whatsoever as English. It merely resembles English in some way.

It’s an astounding phenomenon, that these two sorts of brain activity occur within the same profession.

@pfpoitras It is done. See https://pastebin.com/Ei5CrFUt

I do not know whether the failure to reach 2.8 instead of 2.5 is due to the form of the CHSH correlation measure, or if I have not optimized the correlation in the signal.

You may choose to make of this what you will, but what I make of it is this: most likely the quantum computers are simply circuits made of ordinary oscillators, but fabricated in inexplicable way, and attributed with advantages they probably do not have.

I do not expect this simulation to change many minds. The Bohr cult is a cult. When it comes to quantum mechanics, supposed scientists are not scientists at all, but authoritarian cultists.

However, the truly interested may want to take a look at the program. It’s my best yet, for sure.
