The Secret Life of the Dipole
Jeeva S. Anandan
A new force on the magnetic dipole, which exists in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields, is described. Its origin due to the `hidden momentum', implications and possi…
Quantum Measurement Problem and the Possible Role of the Gravitational Field
Jeeva Anandan
The quantum measurement problem and various unsuccessful attempts to resolve it are reviewed. A suggestion by Diosi and Penrose for the half life of the quantum superposition of tw…
Are There Dynamical Laws?
Jeeva S. Anandan
The nature of a physical law is examined, and it is suggested that there may not be any fundamental dynamical laws. This explains the intrinsic indeterminism of quantum theory. The…
Meaning of the Density Matrix
Y. Aharonov, J. Anandan
Protective measurement, which was proposed as a method of observing the wavefunction of a single system, is extended to the observation of the density matrix of a single system. d'…
