Why does multiple co-authors mean that the input-per-author is counted as fractional? Why not instead assume that 1 document with N authors is worth N papers?

(Actually, I can think of reasons ... most of which are to do with sharing out the citations "fairly". But then surely a citation by a three-author paper should be worth triple!)

0902.4336 pak [2009-02-26 04:29:22]

... nice title!

0812.0171 pak [2008-12-05 05:05:52]

I do not believe that the NPV (LH) condition discussed is "inapplicable for active materials", as claimed here. As far as I can tell: (1) the counter example is inapplicable, and (2) the condition is not restricted to the passive-only case.

First, the counter example used here (from Chen et al, PRL 95, 067402 (2005)) is for a right handed medium -- but the criteria under discussion, and its usage in (eg) Microwave Opt. Tech. Lett. 50, 1804 (2008) (or arXiv:0806.1676) was for a (Veselago-sense) left handed medium.

Second, the claim is that the Depine & Lahktakia criterion (Microwave Opt. Tech. Lett. 41, 315 (2004)) shown in eq(1) is valid only for passive media -- however, the derivation neither specifies passive-only materials, nor applies any approximation that restricts the result to passive media.

V2 has not addressed these points.

0811.1855 pak [2008-11-13 01:35:02]

A new fundamental constant: value "9.7 +/- 0.3 milliwatts per inflation-adjusted 1990 US dollar"

0811.0458 pak [2008-11-05 03:20:11]

cloaktastic!

Seriously, this is a very nice addition to the set of cloaking techniques -- and expect the reversed anti-cloak version any time now.

0810.4292 pak [2008-10-24 04:55:29]

Interesting, but surely the influence of the senior scientist's postdocs/students will have some confounding effect?

0810.2271 pak [2008-10-14 03:16:28]

it's an interesting claim, if nothing else.

0809.2838 pak [2008-09-18 02:28:58]

Ah, that famous experiment by Hanbury and Brown-Twiss again ... :-)

0809.0008 pak [2008-09-15 03:57:42]

Perhaps arXiv:0705.1232 might serve as a counterargument.

0808.1260 pak [2008-08-11 09:23:17]

QUOTE: "From the point of view of entropic dynamics the problem is not to explain the arrow of time, but rather to explain the reversibility of the laws of physics."

Much better than that barely intelligible Categories paper a few days ago!

0807.4935 pak [2008-08-04 04:45:29]

So how does this work then? Is the information carried by entanglement between the two (individually) zero-capacity channels?

0710.5549 pak [2008-07-08 03:41:04]

This states "It follows that a nonnegative quasiprobability representation of quantum theory is also impossible." -- presumably explicitly positive quasiprobability distributions like the positive-P are excluded from this statement somehow. Can anyone clarify?

0806.0615 pak [2008-06-04 01:24:44]

concave lens + surface corrugations = convex lens

0806.0273 pak [2008-06-03 02:19:04]

interesting ... but where's the mathematical analysis?

0805.3640 pak [2008-05-30 07:43:41]

a valiant attempt... but let down by an odd def of the Lorentz transform (see eq. (2.3,2.4)) and various other mistakes
(e.g eq. (3.7,3.8) isn't a rotation)

0803.4067 pak [2008-03-31 07:06:16]

A nice result. But let me hypothesize that you could recast the problem and find you still only match the Carnot limit -- because N correlated 2 level atoms acts like fewer than N such; e.g. starting with a naive calculation of number of degrees of freedom (i.e. N) artificially reduces the Carnot efficiency as compared to a calculation using the "true" number (M

0803.3287 pak [2008-03-25 13:35:09]

Voting for your own paper is sensible -- after all, how else is the "recommend" function supposed to match you up with your core interests?

... and while we're off topic -- can all you QI enthusiasts occasionally look at/ scite some papers not in your own specific field? Surely your interests are not that narrow?

0802.4118 pak [2008-03-03 04:08:29]

But squeezing generation requires power, and there may other (simpler) ways of using that power: see e.g. quant-ph/0110118

0802.4121 pak [2008-02-29 03:50:15]

I liked the power law distributions from fragmentation/coalescence processes; not so sure about the ant/human stuff though.

0711.3000 pak [2007-11-20 08:08:31]

I'd compare/ contrast it to arXiv:0711.2315, if I had the time.

0711.1751 pak [2007-11-13 04:39:21]

Fig.2: The evolution of nose size as a function of time.

0709.1882 pak [2007-11-07 01:39:16]

To quote: [they] have shown that Schroedinger's equation for a free particle does not appear as the "non-relativistic limit" of anything, but actually follows from the relativistic KG equation: the two equations are truly compatible.

0709.3909 pak [2007-09-26 02:54:03]

... an important point about QM -- there are more options than just nonlocality -vs- local realism.
