The document describes John Archibald Wheeler's proposal for a quantum delayed-choice experiment (QDC). It discusses how a QDC could demonstrate that a photon simultaneously exhibits both particle-like and wave-like behavior. A QDC would do this by measuring these complementary aspects of the photon's behavior simultaneously, without needing to open or close the experimental apparatus after the photon interacts with it. The document provides historical context on wave-particle duality and delayed-choice experiments, and outlines some of the key developments and landmarks in experimental implementations of QDC experiments.

Fake Product Review Monitoring & Removal and Sentiment Analysis of Genuine Re...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Any E-Commerce website gets bad reputation if they
sell a product which has bad review, the user blames the eCommerce website rather than manufacturers most of the
times. In some review sites some great audits are included by
the item organization individuals itself so as to make so as to
deliver false positive item reviews. To eliminate these type of
fake product review, we will create a system that finds out the
fake reviews and eliminates all the fake reviews by using
machine learning. We also remove the reviews that are flood
by a marketing agency in order to boost up the ratings of a
particular product .Finally Sentiment analysis is done for the
genuine reviews to classify them into positive and negative.
We will use Bag-of-words to label individual words
according to their sentiment.

Divya Jain, Technical Director at Tyco Innovation, presents the "End to End Fire Detection Deep Neural Network Platform" tutorial at the May 2017 Embedded Vision Summit.
This presentation dives deep into a real-world problem of fire detection to see what it takes to build a complete solution using CNNs. Fire is specifically challenging because it doesn’t have a fixed shape or size like other objects. The presentation begins with a discussion of the technology stack, followed by the algorithm, and concluding with a review of the end to end architecture. Jain discusses the challenges her company encountered while training this algorithm and how they worked through them by building a scalable and reusable platform.
This seminar discusses night vision technology, including how it works and its applications. There are two main types of night vision: image enhancement and thermal imaging. Image enhancement amplifies available light using an image intensifier tube to make objects visible, while thermal imaging detects infrared radiation emitted as heat from objects. Night vision provides enhanced vision in low-light conditions and has military, law enforcement, and civilian uses such as hunting and wildlife observation.
This document discusses Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD) for use in synchrotron energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy. It begins with an introduction to SDDs, explaining their structure and operating principle. It then describes the features and high performance of SDDs, including high count rates up to 500,000 counts per second and excellent energy resolution of 125 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV. Applications of SDDs in EDXRF spectroscopy and portable XRF devices are also mentioned. In the concluding remarks, the key advantages of SDDs are summarized as having lower capacitance than conventional silicon detectors, allowing better energy resolution at higher count rates.
Software quality refers to how well a software product or service meets requirements and expectations. It is subjective as it depends on the perspective of the customer. Common aspects of quality include the software being bug-free, delivered on time and on budget, meeting requirements, and being maintainable. True software quality can only be determined by measuring how well the software serves its intended purpose from the viewpoint of all stakeholders.

This document discusses screenless display technologies, including visual image displays like holograms, retinal displays that project images directly onto the retina, and potential future synaptic interfaces. It describes the working principles of holograms and retinal displays in detail. Applications discussed include using screenless displays in mobile phones to help older or blind users, as well as potential uses in laptops and hologram projection.
Eye tracking technology measures eye movements and gaze using cameras and light sources. It has various applications in research and product design. Eye trackers generally use infrared light and cameras to track the reflection of light sources off the eye to determine where a person is looking. Researchers can use eye tracking data to observe what stimuli capture people's attention and where their visual focus lies. The technology provides an unobtrusive way to understand how people interact with and process their environments.
An optical computer uses light instead of electricity for computation. It has two types - hybrid, which uses both light and electricity, and pure optical, which uses only light. Optical computers are needed because transistors can no longer keep up with Moore's Law. They use components like lasers, fiber optics, and holographic memory to transmit and store information as light pulses. Optical computing provides benefits like vastly increased speed and bandwidth compared to traditional electronics. Potential applications include high-speed communications and database searches.
Silent Sound Technology is a new technology being developed that allows communication without making any sound. It works by using electromyography sensors to detect tiny muscle movements in the face when speaking, and converts those signals into electrical pulses that can be transformed into speech. It also uses image processing of lip movements to analyze the spoken words and transmit the audio to the other person on the call. This technology has potential applications for silent phone calls, helping those who have lost their voice, and secret military communications. However, it still faces challenges with translation, security, and practical usability due to the sensors currently needing to be attached to the face.
Seminar presentation on Electronic waste/E wasteEr Gupta
Electronic waste or E waste may be defined as, computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment devices & many other electronic or electrical devices which are unwanted, broken & discarded by their original users are known as ‘E-Waste’ or ‘Electronic Waste’
1) The presentation discusses optical computing, which uses photons in light beams rather than electric currents to perform computations. It has advantages like speed, easy manipulation of light, and suitability for parallelization.
2) Optical computing is developing in two directions - hybrid systems that use optics alongside existing computer architectures, and new optical-only computers. Key components discussed include VCSEL lasers, smart pixel technology, and WDM for sending multiple wavelengths through a single fiber.
3) Potential benefits of optical computing include much higher speeds, smaller size, higher bandwidth, and less heat generation compared to electronic computers. However, challenges remain around high power needs, interference effects, and cost of optical
Electronic skin is a material that mimics human skin and can measure vital signs like heart rate and brain waves. It is made of flexible silicon sensors laminated onto skin like a temporary tattoo. The sensors form a spider web-like circuit that detects pressure, temperature and other bodily functions and transmits the signals to monitoring devices. Electronic skin has applications in healthcare for wound monitoring and in robotics for making machines more human-like. While promising, challenges remain in reducing the cost and enabling reuse of electronic skin technologies.
Holography (from the Greek, whole + write) is the science of producing holograms.
It is an advanced form of photography that allows an image to be recorded in three dimensions.It involves the use of a laser, interference, and diffraction, light intensity recording and suitable illumination of the recording.
This document discusses e-paper technology, including its history, construction, properties, applications, and future potential. E-paper was first developed in 1974 and resembles ordinary paper but can hold text and images like an electronic display. It uses microcapsules containing charged white and black particles to switch between pixels and is flexible, low-power, and readable outdoors like paper. The document compares e-paper to LCD displays and outlines e-paper's advantages for uses in electronic books, newspapers, and mobile displays.
Holography was theorized in 1947 and developed using lasers starting in the 1960s. The first hologram created was of a toy train and bird in 1962. Since then, many advances have allowed for different types of holograms such as white light transmission holograms in 1968, integral holograms combining motion pictures in 1972, and photo polymer holograms for mass production. Holograms are made using a laser beam split into an object beam and reference beam which intersect on a photographic plate, recording an interference pattern. When illuminated, this pattern reconstructs the 3D image. Holography now has many applications including art, security, medicine, and entertainment.

Oxford graduate lectures on "Quantum Chromodynamics and LHC phenomenology" Pa...juanrojochacon
This document summarizes a lecture on perturbative QCD calculations in electron-positron annihilation. It discusses how soft and collinear divergences arise in real emission diagrams but cancel out between real and virtual corrections. It also introduces the concept of jets to define infrared-safe observables and calculates the Sterman-Weinberg jet cross section to next-to-leading order. The lecture emphasizes that perturbative QCD is only well-defined for infrared and collinear safe observables.
1) The document outlines key concepts from Einstein's theory of special relativity including reference frames, the Michelson-Morley experiment, postulates of relativity, Lorentz transformations, length contraction and time dilation.
2) It discusses experimental evidence for concepts like time dilation from observations of muon decay lifetimes and provides equations for length contraction, time dilation, velocity addition and relativistic mass.
3) The twin paradox is introduced as a thought experiment exploring time dilation between twins where one takes a high speed journey into space and back while the other remains on Earth. Accelerations are identified as the resolution for why the traveling twin ages less.
1. Einstein used thought experiments and his principle that indistinguishable phenomena are the same to formulate the theory of special relativity.
2. The two postulates of special relativity are that all physical laws are the same in any inertial reference frame and that the speed of light is constant.
3. Key consequences of special relativity include time dilation, where moving clocks run slow, and length contraction, where lengths appear shorter to observers in motion.

The document discusses Einstein's theory of special relativity. It provides background on Einstein's two postulates: 1) the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference, and 2) the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers regardless of their motion. It describes how these postulates led Einstein to develop the Lorentz transformations, which show that time and space are relative between different frames of reference moving at a constant velocity with respect to each other.
Special theory of -Relativity presentation.pptdeoeo112
Special Relativity addresses limitations of classical Newtonian mechanics at high speeds approaching the speed of light. Key points:
- Michelson-Morley experiment found the speed of light is constant in all inertial reference frames, contradicting Galilean transformations.
- Einstein postulated (1) laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames and (2) the speed of light is constant.
- Simultaneity and time intervals are relative concepts depending on the observer's frame of reference, challenging notions of absolute time.
- Time dilation occurs such that moving clocks measure time intervals as longer than stationary observers, demonstrated by the train experiment.

This document provides an overview of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. It begins by defining frames of reference and discussing the Michelson-Morley experiment, which found that the speed of light is constant regardless of the observer's motion. It then outlines Einstein's two postulates of special relativity: 1) the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames; and 2) the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their motion. The document concludes by deriving the Lorentz transformations, which describe how space and time are related for observers in different inertial frames of reference according to special relativity.
The document discusses key concepts in quantum mechanics. It explains that quantum mechanics views matter as having both particle-like and wave-like properties. It also describes the uncertainty principle, which states that the more precisely one property of a particle is known, the less precisely its complementary property can be known. Additionally, it summarizes how problems like blackbody radiation were resolved by early quantum theories like Planck's quantum hypothesis.

The document discusses Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which states that the more precisely the position of a particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa. It provides examples of this principle applied to measurements of an electron's position and momentum using light, as well as examples involving the hydrogen atom, electron diffraction, and quantum dots. The principle arises because measuring a particle inevitably involves interacting with it, imparting uncertainty.
Quantum teleportation allows the transfer of quantum states between particles at a distance without physically transporting the particles themselves. It relies on the phenomenon of quantum entanglement where the quantum states of particles become linked even when separated spatially. The experiment demonstrated successful quantum teleportation of photons' polarization states between two locations, confirming the non-local effects predicted by quantum mechanics. This technique could enable future applications for quantum communication but does not allow the teleportation of macroscopic objects as depicted in science fiction.
Basics of Quantum Mechanics: - Why Quantum Physics? -ShivangiVerma59
The document provides an overview of the basics of quantum mechanics. It discusses key differences between classical and quantum mechanics, including that quantum particles can act as both particles and waves due to wave-particle duality. The four main postulates of quantum mechanics are outlined: 1) every system is described by a state function, 2) the state function defines probability distributions, 3) observables are represented by operators, and 4) the time development of state functions is governed by the Schrodinger equation. Key quantum phenomena like the photoelectric effect and Heisenberg uncertainty principle are also summarized.
The Cosmic Microwave (CMB), and Infra-Red (CIRB) Backgrounds are Simple Effec...David Harding
In Continuous Quantum Iteration (CQI) theory, a new approximation of the universal engagement is explored. Science, as of yet, cannot define infinity; the absolute beginning. Yet it is only natural that science should ask the question....How did the local Universe get started? And where does this energy keep coming from? And what is the quantum vacuum really doing? Aspects of virtual quantum iteration are examined considering the plausibility of this new approximation. The Cosmic Microwave (CMB), and the Infra-Red Background (CIRB) are shown to be simple effects of Continual Quantum Vacuum Iterations occurring through Planck-Stoney scale interactions with the universal equilibrium event - horizon background.
1) Einstein's theory of special relativity resolved contradictions between Galilean relativity and the constant speed of light by postulating that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames and that the speed of light has the same value in all frames.
2) Time dilation occurs such that moving clocks are observed to tick slower than stationary clocks. This effect increases as the relative velocity approaches the speed of light.
3) The twin paradox is resolved by recognizing that only one twin experiences accelerations during a round trip, so their frame of reference is not inertial for the entire journey.
The document provides background information on Einstein's special theory of relativity. It discusses the two postulates of special relativity: 1) the principle of relativity, and 2) the constancy of the speed of light. It then summarizes some key consequences of special relativity, including time dilation, length contraction, relativistic Doppler effect, relativistic mass, mass-energy equivalence, and Lorentz transformations. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculations for these various consequences.
- In 1976, Stephen Hawking argued that black holes destroy information, requiring a modification of quantum mechanics principles. In 2004, he changed his mind.
- Maldacena's 1997 discovery of AdS/CFT duality suggested that a black hole is dual to an ordinary thermal system described by quantum mechanics, where information is preserved. However, questions remain about how spacetime emerges in AdS/CFT and how holography works in other spacetimes.
- A 2013 paper proposed that the postulates of black hole complementarity - purity, no drama at the horizon, effective field theory validity outside the horizon - cannot all be true, suggesting a "firewall" of high-energy particles may form at the black
Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small that explains the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level. Some key aspects of quantum mechanics include wave-particle duality, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Schrodinger's wave equation, quantum superposition, quantum entanglement, and more. Many experiments such as the double slit experiment provide evidence of these quantum effects.

Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:
