Thanks, Mike. I was working on it earlier today, and using ChatGPT occasionally to help me understand concepts:

Give me an overview of Bell’s non-locality theory, simple enough for a child to understand, then show me a list of essays and books, with links to each, that cover the topic.

Bell’s non-locality theory is a scientific idea that helps…[Read more]

@joel, see if you can get it to do the homework for March 5th (i.e., work the Bell State problems). Or for that matter any of the stuff leading up to that. And maybe it can tell you something about either “GHZ States” or “Hardy States” (you might add in nonlocality as a keyword).

This is really helpful.

For the coders among us, here’s an interesting Medium article on leveraging ChatGPT in software development.

Note that the links I asked for aren’t present in the answer. ChatGPT does this fairly consistently, with regard to ignoring a request for links. It might be a legal issue (to avoid a lawsuit for directing a massive amount of traffic to a site? Wild guess). Or it could be just a way to conserve computational power, since ChatGPT has (according to…[Read more]

In my opinion, ChatGPT didn’t give you very good advice. Either with the time allotted or the resources it suggested. But the topics to be studied weren’t too bad. It looks like it mostly just copied an outline from the MIT website.

In case anyone is going to attempt the Bell State problems, here are the 45 degree (one bit) basis vectors:

The 45 degree operator is:

It’s eigenvectors are:…[Read more]

OK. I updated the Meetings page. I left a placeholder there for this coming Sunday.

Works for me too. I can tell the others when we meet Sunday that we’re having a specialized talk that day and they don’t need to come if they don’t want to.

Right.

Sure. So this will be at 3 pm Vancouver time?

How about if I schedule this for Feb 5th? Usual time, etc.

Those times will usually work for me too.

All Sundays after 1 pm are clear for me.

$The notation (s) = { sx | x in R}.

And (r,s) = {rx + sy | x,y in R}. This is by definition. I don’t know if Eliot defines this yet.

So your example of (2,x) in Z[x] is: (2,x) = {2 f(x) + x g(x) | f,g in Z[x]}.
But looking at (2) + (x) this is {2 f(x) | f in Z[x]} + {x g(x) | g in Z[x]}, where we are adding the sets by adding all possible…[Read more]
