Sentence examples for definite values for from inspiring English sources

So, Heisenberg also endorsed an interpretation of his relations as rejecting a reality in which particles have simultaneous definite values for position and momentum.

For example, there is a passage (Heisenberg, 1927, p. 197), where he discusses the idea that, behind our observational data, there might still exist a hidden reality in which quantum systems have definite values for position and momentum, unaffected by the uncertainty relations.

Such reasoning led Howard (1989, 1992) to take outcome independence — the probabilistic independence of the outcomes of a given pair of measurements, one on each of a pair of entangled systems, conditional on definite values for any assumed hidden variables on the joint system as a separability condition.

Definite values for physical properties such as energy, or momentum, correspond to eigenvalues of a certain (linear) differential operator and the associated wavefunctions are called eigenstates.

The solution so obtained is a non-similar one, since the motion behind the shock can be determined only when a definite value for time is prescribed.

Or else, are they restrictions of an ontological nature, i.e., do they assert that a quantum system simply does not possess a definite value for its position and momentum at the same time?

Although interpretations of quantum mechanics, in which each system has a definite value for its position and momentum are still viable, this is not to say that they are without strange features of their own; they do not imply a return to classical physics.

This means that, for each Trp pair, there is a definite value for donor−acceptor distance, κ, forward energy transfer rate k12, and reverse rate k21.

Alternatively, Bub (1997) proposes that it is not decoherence with the "tracing out" of the environment and the diagonalization of the reduced state of the apparatus that is relevant for the definite value of the pointer, but the triorthogonal or n-orthogonal decomposition theorem, since it singles out a unique pointer basis for the apparatus.

Teller (1995: 110-113) toies to dispel this problem by pointing out that while the Minkowski vacuum has the definite value zero for the Minkowski number operator, the particle number is indefinite for the Rindler number operator, since one has a superposition of Rindler quanta states.

Teller argues that this assumption is false insofar as it concerns the quantities habitually measured in physics, because any specification of definite values (or value ranges) for such quantities involves idealization and hence cannot refer to anything in reality.
