Modeling Authentic Research Trajectories: A Graph View of Research Ideation
Ruochen Li, Zhiyu Chen
The research idea in a published paper is rarely the project's initial idea. Between the two lies a closed-loop process in which researchers run experiments, derive insights, ident…
Passive realism in the presence of open system dynamics
James Fullwood, Boyu Yang, Weixiang Ye
We introduce the terminology \emph{passive realism} to encapsulate the scale-independent assumption that a physical system's pre-existing properties can be passively observed witho…
The measured speed in the evanescent regime reflects the spatial decay of the wavefunction, not particle motion
Weixiang Ye
The recent paper by Sharoglazova et al. reports an energy-dependent parameter extracted from the spatial distribution of photons in a coupled-waveguide experiment. The authors…
Hall's exact variance decomposition in Bohmian Mechanics
Weixiang Ye
Halls exact variance decomposition [Phys. Rev. A 64, 052103 (2001)] splits the quantum variance of an observable into the ensemble variance of an optimal position based estimate an…
Actual and weak actual values in Bohmian mechanics
Weixiang Ye
We systematically analyze Holland's local expectation values within Bohmian mechanics, referring to them as weak actual values to emphasize their connection with weak measurement t…
