@vzn That doesn't make popsci. That's a regurgitation of hype straight from a university PR office. If you want to post links here, post links to pieces that actually talk about science.
A one-time screw-up doesn't rate. But this is consistent, repetitive behaviour that has been pointed out to you as problematic and unwanted on this chatroom by multiple people, with detailed explanations of why they're problematic that you've systematically refused to discuss.
So yes, that makes it spam and vandalism. Please stop it.
3: the pump photon starts out in the state 1/sqrt(2)|H> + 1/sqrt(2)|V> and produces signal and idler photons that are each in the state 1/sqrt(2)|H> + 1/sqrt(2) e^(i phi)|V>
Context: I had three large, heavy boxes stuck in Lisbon with my ex-gf for a couple months. They had a combined value of >$1000. She arranged for shipment from Lisbon to Santa Barbara, while SB was on fire. The packages went from Portugal to Dan's lab in one day and weren't taxed
Emilio, just yesterday I learned something about dimensions in exponential functions that blew my brain so hard I had to get up from my desk and go to the office kitchen and think about my entire life.
okay, so...the annihilation operator applied to the number of photons makes the coefficient sqrt(n), which in the case of 0 or 1 just stays the same, and then removes one from n in the |>, which makes sense
@Cows Ayyy I'll be driving past there in a few days

@DanielSank I don't know what "dimensions of radian" even means. Afaik $Q$ is $2\pi$ times the ratio of the total energy stored divided by the energy lost in a single cycle or equivalently the ratio of the stored energy to the energy dissipated over one radian of the oscillation. But sure, go ahead
@Blue @Slereah suppose I want a certain frequency detuning $\delta \omega$ to be equal to $$\delta \omega = \frac{\omega_0}{2Q}$$ where $\omega_0$ is a resonance frequency.
@Blue Right! It's [energy stored]/[energy lost per radian] which has dimensions of radian, sort of.
