States of ignorance and ignorance of states: Examining the Quantum Principal Principle

Earman (2018) has recently argued that the Principal Principle, a principle of rationality connecting objective chance and credence, is a theorem of quantum probability theory. This paper critiques Earman's argument, while also offering a positive proposal for how to understand the status of the Principal Principle in quantum probability theory.     

Quantum reality: A pragmaticized neo-Kantian approach

Despite remarkable efforts, it remains notoriously difficult to equip quantum theory with a coherent ontology. Hence, Healey (2017, 12) has recently suggested that “quantum theory has no physical ontology and states no facts about physical objects or events”, and Fuchs et al. (2014, 752) similarly hold that “quantum mechanics itself does not deal directly with the objective world”. While intriguing, these positions either raise the question of how talk of ‘physical reality’ can even remain meaningful, or they must ultimately embrace a hidden variables-view, in tension with their original project. I here offer a neo-Kantian alternative. In particular, I will show how constitutive elements in the sense of Reichenbach (1920) and Friedman (1999, 2001) can be identified within quantum theory, through considerations of symmetries that allow the constitution of a ‘quantum reality’, without invoking any notion of a radically mind-independent reality. The resulting conception will inherit elements from pragmatist and ‘QBist’ approaches, but also differ from them in crucial respects. Furthermore, going beyond the Friedmanian program, I will show how non-fundamental and approximate symmetries can be relevant for identifying constitutive principles.     

基于云理论的斜拉索可靠性评价方法

为准确评估易损难修的斜拉索的可靠性，保证行车安全舒适，提出一种基于云理论的斜拉索可靠性评估方法.首先根据拉索力学特点和常见病害，以斜拉索的运营状态应力极值、恒载索力变幅、应力幅、基频、服役时间、PE护套开裂程度及阻尼系统完好程度为指标，建立了斜拉索可靠性评估指标体系.咨询专家意见建立权重云模型，并根据泛概念树的概念扩充原理实现权重的群决策.最后将指标对各等级的平均确定度与权重云模型加权汇总，得到可靠等级确定度的云模型并以此确定最终评级.规范评估结果与拉索实际病害情况对比验证了所提方法结果的合理性和可操作性.     

汽车理论课程平行分层化教学思路研究

汽车理论课程是车辆工程专业核心课程,其课程内容涉及车辆系统性能分析与跨学科知识点的交叉,在新工科教学理念下,传统教学模式在车辆理论分析、2自由度操纵稳定性模型、平顺性模型等内容上并不能适用于整车研发的实际需求。针对此现实问题,提出利用ADAMS软件驱动汽车理论内容平行化、分层化教学思路研究,采用软件中悬架模型、转向模型、轮胎模型、路面模型、制动及整车模型对汽车理论课程中的各个环节内容提供支撑,打通"理论教学、实践教学、企业研发"3个环节之间的屏障,使学生能够快速运用所学知识投入到生产实践中,同时转换学生思维中的传统车辆设计理念,改善课堂效果,提升教学质量。     

I ain’t afraid of no ghost

This paper criticizes the traditional philosophical account of the quantization of gauge theories and offers an alternative. On the received view, gauge theories resist quantization because they feature distinct mathematical representatives of the same physical state of affairs. This resistance is overcome by a sequence of ad hoc modifications, justified in part by reference to semiclassical electrodynamics. Among other things, these modifications introduce ”ghosts”: particles with unphysical properties which do not appear in asymptotic states and which are said to be purely a notational convenience. I argue that this sequence of modifications is unjustified and inadequate, making it a poor basis for the interpretation of ghosts. I then argue that gauge theories can be quantized by the same method as any other theory. On this account, ghosts are not purely notation: they are coordinates on the classical configuration space of the theory—specifically, on its gauge structure. This interpretation does not fall prey to the standard philosophical arguments against the significance of ghosts, due to Weingard. Weingard’s argumentative strategy, properly applied, in fact tells in favor of ghosts’ physical significance.     

基于递推规范变量分析的时变过程故障检测

由于规范变量分析(CVA)不适应过程的时变特性,容易把正常的过程改变识别为故障.因此,针对时变过程提出一种故障检测方法是十分必要的.采用指数权重滑动平均来更新过去观测矢量的协方差矩阵.递推CVA有较高的计算负荷是需要解决的关键问题.通过引入一阶干扰理论来递推更新Hankel矩阵的奇异值分解(SVD).与普通奇异值分解相比,显著降低了递推算法的计算负荷.将提出的基于一阶干扰理论的递推规范变量分析(RCVA-FOP)应用于田纳西伊斯曼化工过程中.仿真结果表明,所提出方法不仅能有效适应过程的时变特性,而且可以有效检测到两种类型的故障.
