What Is the Measurement Problem Anyway? Introductory Reflections on Quantum Puzzles

A. C. Elitzur

In this chapter the concepts of weak measurement and weak values were used to resolve the paradox raised by Hardy. As opposed to the orthodox analysis of the conundrum, which reached a dead end and labeled some questions as ‘unaskable’, the weak values allow us to give proper answers to these questions, along with the new possibilities of simultaneously measuring non-commuting variables, simultaneously measuring the results of counterfactual experiments, and revealing a negative number of particles.

The concepts of weak measurement and weak values arise from the two-vector formalism. The two-vector is a strict interpretation of quantum mechanics. As such, it cannot lead to experimental results that depart from the orthodox quantum analysis. Nonetheless, it has proved to be a source of ingenious ideas, paradoxes and insights.

Quantum Physics as a Science of Information

Časlav Brukner; Anton Zeilinger

Community mitigation of hazard impact requires hazard knowledge and preparedness on the part of the members of diverse and complex communities. Longitudinal research in the tropical cyclone prone north of Australia has gathered extensive datasets on community awareness, preparedness and knowledge, in order to contribute to education campaigns and mitigation strategies. Data have been used to identify issues of vulnerability to cyclones and capacity to deal with the hazard. This has been developed as a community vulnerability and capacity model that may be applied to diverse communities in order to assess levels of capability to mitigate and deal with the cyclone hazard. The model is presented here in a simplified form as its development is evolving and ongoing.
