The miscibility of polymer blends, a classical problem in polymer science, may be altered, if one or both of the component do not have chain ends. Based on the idea of {\it topological volume}, we propose a mean-field theory to clarify how the topolo...
A short review of the main properties of coherent and squeezed states is given in introductory form. The efforts are addressed to clarify concepts and notions, including some passages of the history of science, with the aim of facilitating the subjec...
When we try to search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence, we have to follow some guidelines. The first step is to clarify what is to be meant by "Life" and "intelligence", i.e. an attempt to define these words. The word "definition" refers to...
Understanding the difference between losses and loses can clarify writing and communication. Losses refers to the plural form of 'loss,' implying multiple instances of failing to win, retain, or …
We use the "modes of the universe" approach to study a cavity-mediated two-photon logical gate recently proposed by Koshino, Ishizaka and Nakamura. We clarify the relationship between the more commonly used input-output formalism, and that of Koshino...
I've heard both terms and from what I understand they might be slightly different, but I can't find a clear answer online. Can anybody clarify this for me? What's the difference between birding and bi...

It is the intention of this paper to rigorously clarify the role of the occupation numbers in the current practical applications of the density functional formalism. In these calculations one has to decide how to distribute a given, fixed number of...
We clarify and generalize the ant on a rubber rope paradox, which is a mathematical puzzle with a solution that appears counterintuitive. In this paper, we show that the ant can still reach the end of the rope even if we consider the step length of t...
The most upvoted comment wins! Zenyatta won the last round, with Baptiste and Illari getting 2nd and 3rd place. Once again I have to clarify that someone screenshotted my post and reposted it, so yo...
We clarify the controversy over the coherent-state (CS) versus the number-state (NS) pictures in quantum optics. The NS picture is equivalent to the CS picture, as long as the phases $φ$ in the laser fields are randomly distributed, as Mølmer arg...
