In the , photons reach D0 and shows a pattern, before its quantum entangled counterparts reach one of D1, D2, D3, or D4. The pattern differs based on what happens at the beam splitters (BSa and BSb) and whether the which-path information is lost.  What if, instead of installing beam splitters BSa and BSb, we install either pure glass panels or pure silver mirrors. Now imagine we place the splitter part of the setup light-years away from earth, with an astronaut who can decide if she wants to put 2 mirrors or 2 glass panels at BSa and BSb. By shooting photons and observing the patterns on D0 on earth, we could instantly tell which decision the astronaut has made. She can then expand this further, encode any information into bits, and achieve FTL communication.  It will be something like: we keep shooting photons at D0 and keep seeing interference pattern, until one day we go, "yep, it starts to look like a diffraction pattern now, she must have switched the panels moments ago!"  Since no information can travel FTL, I'm sure my idea is flawed, but what's wrong with it?
The assumptions are:    Alice and Bob have perfectly synchronized clocks Alice and Bob have successfully exchanged a pair of entangled photons   The idea is simply to have Alice and Bob perform the Quantum Eraser Experiment (doesn't need to be the delayed choice).   Alice and Bob agree on a specific time when Bob's photon will be between the "path marker" (which is usually just after the slits) and the detector.  If Alice acts collpasing the wave-function on her photon, the interference pattern will disappear. If not it won't.  Alice and Bob can be spatially separated...  What am I misunderstanding?   The only meaningful difference from this spatially separated quantum eraser experiment to one done on tabletop is that you won't be able to use a coincidence detector, but that is not impeditive to identifying the interference pattern, just will make errors more probable. Which we should be able to deal with a appropriate protocol...  There is a experimental paper with a small amount of citations pointing out to the breaking of complementarity in a very similar setup:
What are the fault tolerances on the FDA food handling guidelines? Sometimes I have suggested that food that sat out a little longer than optimal may be safe to eat.    Granted, this is based on my experience, and I always qualify that it shouldn't be served to guests (and by extension, customers) and that one should determine their own tolerance to risk, but I want to know if there is information as to the methodology of the FDA guidelines.  Specifically, what is the contamination rate at n hours, and what are the initial conditions of the food and environment?  How much risk is there REALLY (in incidences per n-population and such) in a standard kitchen for food that has sat out 50%, 100%, 200%, etc. longer than recommended? My son is going on 5 and starting to learn a lot about how we're created. I've been with my husband for 10 years, but nearly 6 years ago I had no other choice but to move 1000 miles away and after trying the long distance thing it didn't work so we split up.   I ended up going through a rough patch and started dating an abusive jerk. After a year I was pregnant. He threatened me trying to force me to have an abortion and I refused. His grandmother was chief of police and he scared me into moving back to Florida.  Eventually, when I was 4 months along in my pregnancy my husband and I picked up right where we left off. He loved me so much and accepted our son as if he was his own and has done an amazing job at raising him.   He enrolled in college while I was pregnant, got us a house and went above and beyond to care for us both (as after giving birth I became very ill due to rare brain and spine conditions). I've always tried to do right by my son. Since day one, even while with my husband, I tried to keep the sperm donor involved. But he wanted no part of his son.  My husband stepped up when the biological father refused. The biological father would pretend that he cared, only to tell me he never cared about him anyway and was just trying to manipulate me into stopping child support (which I did anyway after the first year: I felt it wasn't right to take his money when my son had a dad who loved, supported and wanted him from the beginning).  This is a very long story so I'll try and make it not so much of a novel. The sperm donor has made it very clear he wants nothing ever to do with my son. My husband has been Dad since the moment my son entered this world. I've always planned to tell my son as early as possible. I think now, or in a few years, it won't be as hard on him compared to us telling him when he's a teen and who knows how he'd handle it.   I just don't know what to do. We have an extremely happy loving family. My son adores his dad. We never argue, we have a very happy non-dysfunctional marriage. I just feel we have a very special family. But I refuse to lie to my son. What if we wait and someone else maliciously tells him? Or if, when he's older and finds out, he spirals out of control?  I'm so confused, I just want to do the right thing and desperately need advice. Especially from others who have been through similar circumstances. We're planning on meeting with therapists and I guess child development specialists, if someone could also point me in the right direction for what type of doctor is best suited in this situation.   Also my son is very happy. He has a wonderful life and I feel as if he would do fine, knowing how much he loves his dad and just beginning to really grasp the concept of life. I don't think it would change anything for him, if that makes sense. I've been worrying over this for 5 years and really need some answers! In a theoretical physics homework problem, I have to show the following: $$\partial_\nu T^{\mu\nu} = - j_\nu F^{\mu\nu}$$  Where $T$ is the Energy-Momentum-Tensor, $j$ the generalized current and $F$ the Field-Tensor. We use the $g$ for the metric tensor, I think in English the $\eta$ is more common.  I know the following relationships:   Current and magnetic potential with Lorenz gauge condition: $$\mathop\Box A^\mu = \mu_0 j^\mu$$ Energy-Momentum-Tensor: $$T^{\mu\nu} = \frac1{\mu_0} g^{\mu\alpha} F_{\alpha\beta} F^{\beta\nu} + \frac1{4\mu_0} g^{\mu\nu} F_{\kappa\lambda} F^{\kappa\lambda}$$ Field-Tensor: $$F^{\mu\nu} = 2 \partial^{[\mu} A^{\nu]} = \partial^{\mu} A^{\nu} - \partial^{\nu} A^{\mu}$$ d'Alembert operator: $$\mathop\Box = \partial_\mu \partial^\mu$$ Bianchi identity: $$\partial^{[\mu} F^{\nu\alpha]} = 0$$   So far I have set all the definitions into the formula I have to show, but I only end up a lot of terms from antisymmetrisation and product rule. I also drew all what I have in , but I still cannot see how to tackle this problem.  Could somebody please give me a hint into the right direction? How to reinstall many removed packages at once? I used sudo apt-get remove python command and accidently removed a bunch of packages that were required. I logged in via command line and installed ubuntu-desktop again but there are other packages that are missing, and I'm looking for a way to easily reinstall those removed packages. Since there's the log at software-center I wanted to ask what the easiest way might be to roll back changes or extract the removed packages list from the software center...  note: I typed sudo apt-get install .... .... ... ... for about two dozen of those removed programs in that list, but when I pressed enter it didn't install any of them because some package names couldn't be found.  The programs were removed at the same date. I've been looking for a simple regex for URLs, does anybody have one handy that works well?  I didn't find one with the zend framework validation classes and have seen several implementations. Printing a .NET DataGridView I am fairly new to .NET and C#, but I have a DataGridView that I would like to print.  What would be the best way to go about doing so? I have an Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo.  Bus 002 Device 042: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100 Phone [Galaxy S II], GT-I9300 Phone [Galaxy S III], GT-P7500 [Galaxy Tab 10.1]   The keyboard &amp; language setting is português.  I today installed Android Device Manager and to test it's functionality I locked the phone with the password: "abcd" (4 letters were required).  After entering the password and confirming with the "OK" button of my keyboard, the phone showed me that the password is wrong. "Senha incorreta".  I reset the password after some tries to "123456" and the phone reloaded the lock screen. Again the password showed up to be wrong. I also tried the alphabetic password: "abcdefg" - same error.  I changed the language of my Google account from German to Portuguese and reset the password to "123456" again and I tried to really reboot my phone and unlock the SIM card again. But anyways I can not get through my lock of the Android Device Manager.  I tried to enter the password 35 times wrong with hope to get a chance to authenticate with my Google Account login.  I also tried to connect the phone with adb but it does not show up in this state with:  adb devices   So what can I do to get access to my phone again? Why can't $ i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ be considered the Hamiltonian operator? Evaluation of OptionValue[] Difference between the i386 download and the amd64? What is the difference between standard i386 download and the amd64 download of Ubuntu 11.04? I am currently running the i386 on an amd machine, would my system work better with the amd64 download instead? (my machine was running Windows 7 64bit, but I neglected to look at that prior to installing Ubuntu). For example, I can't install package qcad because of error: "can't find qdict.h". How can I find the package which provides the file qdict.h so I can install the package qcad? We are provided with a string A (may contain repeated characters as well ). One needs to make all possible permutations of A , and find out how many pairs of strings chosen from these permutations are not similar.  Two strings are similar if we can make both of them exactly same by carrying out at most 1 swap in each of them .  Example :- if we are provided with string abcd  , then for permutation abcd , the permutations which are not similar to it are bcda , bdac , cadb , cdba , dabc , dcab . Similar is the case for other permuations as well. So overall number of desired pairs are 24*6=144 .  I tried solving it for each possible pair by approach mentioned here     But as the permutations can be large enough , I need a better approach of solving this.
