From: jeffrey E. <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2017 10:55 AM To: Nowak, Martin now that my cold medicine has worn off a bit 0 . if the flip from spin up to spin down is continuous.. can the state of the electron along the way be represented =y a number. are the states quantized or continuous. ie integers or number linel . is it necessary for ordinary =ddition to first convert states to zeros and ones and then perform a=standard computation -addition. or can you perform an op=ration on the state itself and then look for a readout of the number. lets assume in two space . I have a circl= . its cirumference is pi. if i want to measure it . i need to represent it in ordi=ary numbers .. but why should i , the thing i call=circumference is a state. on that circumference ie. a clocks.- i draw = unit of arbitrary size and call it " ONE " measured by the degrees of rotation of my clock hand. two of the same rotations I call two units. and it is printed out =n my clock. no matter the diameter of the dock , it reads two units. . so the number two is the da=s of all rotations of the same amount two times.. the n=mber is only a representation . can i make the leap to s=y there is a state of the electron that corresponds to the num=er 2, for a specific observer.. 7 I loved the way you both weave history into the presenta=ions. please note The information contained in this commu=ication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may cons=itute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addre=see.
