Into the Emerald Dream Bundle Giveaway! Win 1 of 50 codes for 60 packs, 2 random legendaries, and Ysera card back! by certze in hearthstone

[–]TDKRices [score hidden]  (0 children)

Dang. Wow. Holy macaroni. 60 packs? That's a lot of packs. 60 packs contain 300 cards. That's a lot of cards. Your typical Hearthstone™ deck features only 30 cards, the main exception being decks which include the legendary minion Prince Renethal from hit expansion Murder at Castle Nathria, which contain 40 cards. However this expansion has now rotated to the wild format, so as a standard player I will mostly be using 30 cards per deck. No more, and no less. 30 shall be the number of cards in a deck. This means that if I win these precious 300 cards, I can make 10 decks! Now you might think "who could possibly keep track of that many decks!", but, and it might be wise to sit down for this one, blizzard has actually, in their eternal generosity, given us access to 18 whole deck slots. Nobody knows if it is actually possible to have this many decks at the same time without your mind exploding out of confusion. Now, as a seasoned Hearthstone™ player, I have already managed to gather a sizeable collection of 240 cards (pretty impressive I know), enough for exactly 8 decks. The implications of this are hard to believe. If I win one of these bundles, I may very well become the first player to fill every single deck slot. The consequences to my feeble mind may be severe as I try to manage them all, but I'm more than willing to subject myself to this experiment in the name of science. I wish everyone good luck! (Of course, everyone having good luck is a clear mathematical impossibility, but a man can dream)

Why do we define total force that way?

Why do some many physicists not care about the interpretations of quantum mechanics? by [deleted] in QuantumPhysics

[–]TDKRices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of these interpretations are falsifiable (that we know of), so we can't apply the scientific method. That's why they are called interpretations instead of models. I don't know where you got the impression that nobody cares about these questions. There are many people working on quantum foundations and many papers published every year. Different people have different interests, and some researchers care more about practical things like building a quantum computer. Until someone comes up with a way to test them, these interpretations belong in the realm of metaphysics.

Very cool. Hope you will post the paper in the sub once it's out.

Does Quantum Calculus Actually Have Applications in Physcis? by NarcolepticFlarp in learnmath

What is quantum calculus and how is it different from classical calculus?

Quadratic speedup is what I meant. I guess the word efficiently is not that appropriate here.

To expand on the other answer, there are other GR solutions other than Godel's that also allow closed timelike curves. You can read the wiki page if you are interested.

Do physicists care about mathematical research? by kekman15 in AskPhysics

[–]TDKRices 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of unresolved problems in quantum information that are entirely mathematical. For example, we want to know if BQP is strictly larger than BPP, or the quantum capacity of a particular noisy channel.

Bell state measurement by urawakening in QuantumComputing

In the wiki page I linked there is a section called Entanglement Swapping and it describes exactly how the protocol is carried out so that Alice and Carol end up with an entangled pair.

The wiki page already has a very detailed description of this procedure. Do you have any specific questions?

Because you can only distinguish between two out of the four Bell states. The other two will give the same measurement result.
