No-cloning theorem

In physics, the no-cloning theorem states that it is impossible to create an independent and identical copy of an arbitrary unknown quantum state, a statement which has profound implications in the field of quantum computing among others. The theorem is an evolution of the 1970 no-go theorem authored by James Park, in which he demonstrates that a non-disturbing measurement scheme which is both simple and perfect cannot exist (the same result would be independently derived in 1982 by Wootters and Zurek as well as Dieks the same year). The aforementioned theorems do not preclude the state of one system becoming entangled with the state of another as cloning specifically refers to the creation of a separable state with identical factors. For example, one might use the controlled NOT gate and the Walsh–Hadamard gate to entangle two qubits without violating the no-cloning theorem as no well-defined state may be defined in terms of a subsystem of an entangled state. The no-cloning theorem (as generally understood) concerns only pure states whereas the generalized statement regarding mixed states is known as the no-broadcast theorem. The no-cloning theorem has a time-reversed dual, the no-deleting theorem. Together, these underpin the interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of category theory, and, in particular, as a dagger compact category. This formulation, known as categorical quantum mechanics, allows, in turn, a connection to be made from quantum mechanics to linear logic as the logic of quantum information theory (in the same sense that intuitionistic logic arises from Cartesian closed categories).

Difficulties with real numbers as infinite decimals ( I) | Real numbers + limits Math Foundations 91

There are three quite different approaches to the idea of a real number as an infinite decimal. In this lecture we look carefully at the first and most popular idea: that an infinite decimal can be defined in terms of an infinite sequence of digits appearing to the right of a decimal point

Real numbers and Cauchy sequences of rationals(I) | Real numbers and limits Math Foundations 111

We introduce the idea of a `Cauchy sequence of rational numbers'. The notion is in fact logically problematic. It involves epsilons and N's, much as does the notion of a limit, and suffers from similiar issues: how to guarantee that we can find an infinite number of N's for an infinite num

Limit Duality Theorem

Duality Theorem In this video, I use a neat little trick to show that the limit as n goes to infinity of 2^n is infinity, by using the fact (shown before) that the limit of (1/2)^n is 0. Exponential Limit: https://youtu.be/qxlSclbmh-w Other examples of limits can be seen in the playlis

Why You Should Never Say "It's Just A Theory"

A portion of our culture distrusts the scientific method, assuming that there are transcendent truths unknowable by science. But nothing is truly out of bounds for science. If it's real, it can be studied, and tested. Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding our culture has about the scientif

An Infinite Product Conjecture - Monday Math Nugget #2

Today we're answering a question posed in the comment section of the previous MMN... The conjecture is: since any quotient of finite products of integers cannot be an integer if all factors in the numerator are odd and at least one in the denominator is even, then a quotient of infinite
