The 5 dollar cryptanalysis works again

How does this differ from the classic two-slit experiment?

Well you can't tell from the article, so I'm guessing based on the abstract.

From what I gather about this, think of what calcite does. It exhibits birefringence, meaning it has different indices of refraction for photons polarized vertically vs. horizontally. You can see that with the way unpolarized light in the room gets deflected by a piece of calcite if you put it on the page of a book, when you see two images of every letter.

So I think what they did here was the classic two slit experiment, with three differences. First, each slit gets a polarizer placed in front, with the left and right slits each getting a polarizer that is oriented perpendicularly to the other one. Now, for a given photon to get through one slit or the other, it can only have one polarization vs. the other. But you haven't yet destroyed the interference pattern since you didn't measure its polarization, so the uncertainty of which slit remains, and the ripples showing on the screen should still show.

Second, the sheet of calcite is placed behind the slits, so if a photon went through the right vs. left slit, we can see that when the calcite displaces it clearly in one of two directions based on that. Now we know what the polarization was when it hits the screen, when it hits one of two separate lines now showing there. And there are no ripples in each of these two lines now [guessing confidently], since we are making a really strong measurement of position at time of slit passage. As if we were blocking one of the slits.

Third, you only take a picture of the resulting pattern with a camera, having a long exposure time.You record where it hit, but you don't know which one hit there. You only have a probability distribution of where any given photon might have struck the screen. [Think, "I am Spartacus!"]

This is making a "weak" measurement for each given photon, because you're only talking about the average of all photons going through these slits. And so what you see on the screen is what you were seeing before, the two lines separated, but now with no knowledge of photon identity. You shined a lot of photons through the apparatus without possibly having any knowledge of which one went where, like you might somehow while looking at a screen all night with fast eyes or instruments.

What they are reporting is that the ripples return when you use this measurement-weakening time-lapse photography procedure [guessing confidently again]. That's why these Canadians will see the ripples go away on a scatter plot if they slow this thing down to a stream of single photons so that they can carefully watch where each photon hits on the screen. The use of a camera and only walking into the room after taking the picture is critical if you intend to see interference patterns.

Your trolling skills are weak. You chose to use a URL shortener with a preview service.

Quantum states are too fragile and most of the time need super-cooled,
Now few would want to have a liquid nitrogen tank near the computer....
(No, I am not talking to you, the ove-clocker nuts).
Speaking of overclocking, off-topic, but that rig is out of that world.

640K is the best memory size after all, and more than that is too much...
Really, can't slashdot select better articles? Like the declatation that SpaceX will be creating moon rocket that will land on moon in 2020.
I visited their site today and that hit me as a surprise...

There is a service that renders your webpage in more that 25 different browsers (many versions of all major browsers). Its free, but it you pay them a bit, they prioritize you. As a web developer it really saved me a lot of time.

There are rumors that Google is opening their Google talk (and video) to whole world in next month. And there is a Linux client for it. So, Skype can die.

You can mitigate this on TinyURL by using this.

A glider can soar for whole day if it has no pilot and sufficient wings. And they managed to fly from one puny country to another. I can set up an international flight using a paper plane. I just go close to the border and throw it. (Although border patrol might then held me up for suspicion of illegal transport of goods)

Who knows, this may be a case of "lier lier" like the phantom tracking software story from last month.

OK I will explain.
Since the rise of modern religions like Christianity and Judaism, The Gods of the older religions, such as the Norse Gods and the Greek Gods have gotten left behind.
With nothing to do some of them have taken up hobbies.
Hestia has her own show on the Food network. Good recipes btw, although she tends to over use the Greek yogurt to much for my tastes.
Aphrodite started a marriage consoling service with Hera.
Poseidon opened up a water park, the rides were great but it was shut down due to legal actions over the name Poseidon's Adventure Water Park.
Hermes has his own line of sneakers out with Nike.
Apollo started hanging out with the Hollywood types. He was last seen hanging out with Charlie Sheen and some porn stars. I bet he ends up in a rehab before the years end.
And Zeus , as you probably have guessed by now Fights crime in his spare time. He got the idea of a Crime-ware kit from Batman. He does not have a costume, as he claims the tights chafed too much.
I hope that helps, If not here are a few links that may explain better than I did.

Indeed in sony official statement, they state that they used same master key in PSN Its hard to blame them, because the key was top secret. Its like versign loosing its master key.

Its not difficult to program robots to obey the same insticts we have, since these are too simple. Look for example at robot that dances. Now that's cool.

So, what the fuzz about? So they give you the engine to hook you into paying for commercial version later Its nice, but where are the news? Its not like ID tech 5 going open source at launch...

What is like learning to code in C-shell? Hate shells, all of them, even this one

With wealth of languages like the Python for instance, who needs them? Besides, if you look at History of UNIXyou'll see that shell scripts weren't intended for programming

It includes historical differences between shells and most importantly incompatibilities between them. Really worth a read. Also includes description of exotic shells like the bsh

And concepts are just that, they remain concepts like the other way to generate energy
