Emergence in holographic scenarios for gravity

‘Holographic’ relations between theories have become an important theme in quantum gravity research. These relations entail that a theory without gravity is equivalent to a gravitational theory with an extra spatial dimension. The idea of holography was first proposed in 1993 by Gerard ׳t Hooft on the basis of his studies of evaporating black holes. Soon afterwards the holographic ‘AdS/CFT’ duality was introduced, which since has been intensively studied in the string theory community and beyond. Recently, Erik Verlinde has proposed that even Newton׳s law of gravitation can be related holographically to the ‘thermodynamics of information’ on screens. We discuss these scenarios, with special attention to the status of the holographic relation in them and to the question of whether they make gravity and spacetime emergent. We conclude that only Verlinde׳s scheme straightforwardly instantiates emergence. However, assuming a non-standard interpretation of AdS/CFT may create room for the emergence of spacetime and gravity there as well.     

Quantum decoherence and the approach to equilibrium (II)

In a previous paper [Hemmo, M & Shenker, O (2003). Quantum decoherence and the approach to equilibrium I. Philosophy of Science, 70, 330–358] we discussed a recent proposal by Albert [(2000). Time and chance. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. Chapter 7] to recover thermodynamics on a purely dynamical basis, using the quantum theory of the collapse of the quantum state of [Ghirardi, G, Rimini, A and Weber, T., (1986). Unified dynamics for microscopic and macroscopic systems. Physical Review, D 34, 470–479]. We proposed an alternative way to explain thermodynamics within no collapse interpretations of quantum mechanics. In this paper some difficulties faced by both approaches are discussed and solved: the spin echo experiments, and the problem of extremely light gases. In these contexts, we point out several ways in which the above quantum mechanical approaches as well as some other classical approaches to the foundations of statistical mechanics may be distinguished experimentally.     

改进QDPSO算法在BP网络训练中的应用

QDPSO（Quantum Delta-Potential-Well-based Particle Swarm Optimization）算法是基于量子空间的粒子群算法，对QDPSO算法进行了改进，结合Iris分类问题，应用到BP网络的权值优化中，并和基于标准PSO算法的方法进行了比较。实验结果表明：该算法性能优于所比较的两种算法，并且具有良好的收敛性和稳定性。

贵州省中草药病虫害的现状与防治对策

经过对贵州省中草药病虫害发生与危害调查，26种栽培面积较大的品种共发现害虫47种，病原菌52种，结果表明：白术病毒病、长管蚜，太子参叶斑病，吴茱萸褐天牛，天麻细胸金针虫为近年主要流行病虫害，而农药残留、重金属、亚硝酸盐等有害物质含量的偏高，也严重影响中草药品质，因此防治上在建立完善的植物检疫制度、病虫草害预测预报的同时，加强田间管理，提倡生物防治、物理机械防治、化学防治等有效方法的结合。
