That is exactly the point Mikhail Dyakonov is making. For that reason, there will never be a quantum computer --- which is the theme of this thread.

Measurement time. That is just one time at which the qubit state Psi(t) is measured. Not two different times. So up and down states do exist at the same time , just as I said. The spin system is in the qubit state, which is given by Psi(t) = a(t) x up + b(t) x down. This state Psi(t) is measured at...

Do you have a reference for that? I don't ever recall seeing that. The qubit state is written down explicitly in Mikhail Dyakonov's talk I linked above: https://www.facebook.com/michel.dyakonov/posts/pfbid0vHdjtcPxHfDixWpfuUkRJi6jFPSAHYXWP9PfzdqGhWFRtXpzGhqyibFY9WyZxZ5Dl?rdid=7nNbG7z8gFDuL0DD That ...

This is a qubit state in which up and down states exist at the same time, at least according to the quantum computing guys. Do you have a reference for that? I don't ever recall seeing that.

So, you agree that probability waves exist as mathematical objects. Is that correct? If so, then we can have probability based superposition. Do you agree? I understand what probability is. And I understand what quantum superposition is. But what is "probability based superposition"? It i...

Do you believe that probability waves exist? I don't even know what "probability waves exist" means. What exists are measurement results, or clicks of detectors, or eigenvalues of Hermitian operators. I didn't mean exists as a physical object but exists as a mathematical object based on r...

Superposition is a consequence of wave action. Classical waves can have superposition so it stands to reason that quantum probability waves could have superposition also. Ballentine is not questioning that. You are missing his explanation that the supposition principle does not violate classical pr...

Interesting paper but I don't see how VI.A disproves number 1. What am I missing? Number 1 claim is that two slits interference pattern can only be explained if each particle is in a superposition of passing through slits simultaneously. In other words, the claim of 1 is that classical probability ...

The existence of quantum superposition is supported by several key experiments and theoretical principles in quantum mechanics. Here are a few notable examples: 1. **Double-Slit Experiment**: This classic experiment demonstrates the wave-particle duality of particles like electrons and photons. Whe...

No.

Neither is there an observationally direct proof that superposition exists.

Sorry, lambda can't be anything. It can't be a "factor that is accounted for in the standard quantum mechanics framework." So, not really a precise mathematical definition. As I said, lambda can be anything you like. ... And that would be manifestly wrong! I think we found your problem. ....
