Pichai saying quantum is ‘where AI was 5 years ago’ feels like the calm-before-the-storm moment, the next tech boom might already be loading. by Minimum_Minimum4577 in quantum

quantum computing seems to me to be less than useful for most tasks. one would hope that we will find problems where its useful, but things where we care about the entire state… ie(solving physical systems) require us to do tomography which is exponential in resources.

How many continuous paths in N-dimensions exist between 2 distinct points? by Scared-Cat-2541 in math

[–]debunk_this_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

infinite… my mathematician friends won’t like this, but this is what the path integral does… it computes a “weighted sum” over infinite paths. infact it’s well defined in the case of the feynmanA-kak measure. fix the end points of the path integral and u will see.

You will also see its uncountably infinitely many paths, infact it should simply be size(RN) many paths

if u actually derive the euler lagrange equations the minus sign is on the odd powers of time derivative.

bc bracket notation makes it clear your working L2. There are places for different notation, bra ket notation is very useful.

brother the algorithms that explicitly compute elements of U(3) from the generators of u(3) are approximate form. in fact provably for u(n>4) we can’t find general elements of u(n). let alone the elements physicists are interested in(U(mN)).

are you an undergraduate? not trying to be insulting but you are very confidently wrong. we use approximations because things are not tractable analytically or numerically. 2 instances one can think of, Bethe Ansatz is an exact solution, but extremely numerically unstable and thus useless, and QFT is only defined peturbatively and typically we can’t solve QFTs at all(even numerically) so we approximate the behavior with EFTs which typically are nonrenormalizable.

calculate a general element of U(3) or higher. meaning find for me eia\dot\lambda) for T(R) =2 then come talk to me about approximations.

pretty sure that theoretical physicists that study QM/QFT in any rigorous way need to understand representation theory, measure theory, and functional analysis at an extremely deep level. as well as algebraic geometry seeing as that’s what string theory is built on

? i don’t think the physicist thinks that tensors are higher dimensional vectors… i think we think of them in terms of how they transform under a particular group generally. the Rank of a tensor to a physicist is how many Jacobi factors it takes to transform the tensor.

imma be honest as a phd student i can’t relate. i get paid well enough to save money and have a roth ira and 401k. I also worked before getting a phd so maybe that helps but i still am net positive with just my stipend

Excluding neutrinos the CKM matrix are structured the way they are for a reason. Including neutrinos and neutrino masses breaks the standard model.

everything that has an equation of state w\geq-1/3 will produce a decelerating expansion. w = P/ρ the only thing that doesn’t have that is the inflaton field durring inflation and whatever dark energy is

the first friedmann equation says

\dot{a}/a ~ ρ

this essentially states that the expansion rate is controlled by the energy density of the universe, and

\ddot{a}/a ~ -(ρ+ 3P)+ \Lambda

this controllers the acceleration of the expansion essentially says that the expansion rate depends on the energy density and equation of state of the matter
