Talk:Circumhorizontal arc

message: The article states 
:" It occurs only when the sun is high in the sky, at least 58° above the horizon, and can only occur in the presences of cirrus clouds. It can thus not be observed at locations north of 55°N or south of 55°S, except occasionally at higher latitudes from mountains."
Since in summer the suns elevation is increased by 23.4°  , the tilt of the Earths axis, it should be visible as far north/south  as latitude 78°. Am I missing something? Lumos3 (talk) 16:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The calculation already takes into account the Earth axis tilt. By basic geometry (correct me if I'm wrong), the maximum elevation of the sun is roughly (23°+90° – geographical latitude) on the longest day of the year (beginning of summer). 113° minus 55° comes down to 58°. So if this phenomenon requires the elevation of the Sun to be at least 58°, one needs to be closer to the equator than 55° latitude. MHD (talk) 09:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Nonclassical light

message: The whole section on Non-classicality of measurements is based on a recent work that does not fit into the rest of the article. This section cites of paper that is very recent whereas a whole body of work regarding non-classical light is missing. This section needs to be removed. I will do precisely that.  Kanwarpreet Grewal 17:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Classical light from natural sources is mostly incoherent, in particular thermal light is incoherent. The sentence that I deleted was not quite clear in its expression, but was very easily open to a reading that would say that thermal light is non-classical, which it is not. See for example Loudon, R. (2000). The Quantum Thoery of Light, third edition, Oxford University Press, Oxford UK, , page 1, and Mandel and Wolf (1995) Chapter 13. It may be reasonable to replace the sentence that I deleted, but such a replacement would need to be more carefully and precisely worded than the one that I deleted.Chjoaygame (talk) 23:36, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  classical light 

message: The article is extremely confusing:
Firstly, the very first sentence of the lead says
Nonclassical light is light that cannot be described using classical electromagnetism; its characteristics are described by the quantized electromagnetic field and quantum mechanics.
  
So far so good, but the body – which we would expect to be no less exact than the lead – says
A classical state of light is one in which \scriptstyle P(\alpha) \, is a probability density function. If it is not, the state is said to be nonclassical.
which makes \scriptstyle P(\alpha) \,'s being a pdf a necessary (but not necessarily sufficient) condition for the state of light to be nonclassical.  But this condition says nothing (at least directly) about the electromagnetic field being quantized!  So how is the general reader supposed to make a connection? 
Second, the article declares, in the Glauber–Sudarshan P representation section, that
It has been shown that the density matrix for any state of light can be written as:
: \widehat{\rho} = \int P(\alpha) |{\alpha}\rangle \langle {\alpha}| \rm{d}^2 \alpha,
where \scriptstyle|\alpha\rangle  is a coherent state.
Now "any state", in science which is founded on logic, must mean "every state", which must include both coherent and incoherent states.  Yet we are told that the expression \scriptstyle|\alpha\rangle  in the equation stands for a (certain) coherent state.  Is this coherent state the "any state" we started with?  If not, where is that state hiding?
While I don't know enough to fix these problems, I can at least remove the WP:Weasel Words "It has been shown that", since the article referred to should have the relevant sources.  And will.

message: Hi:
I'm writing as I am concerned about the false statement within the second paragraph of this section stating that "the entire Mindscape US and Mindscape UK staff on the game were fired" after the legal problems with Fox regarding the 'Aliens' license. 
My name is Steve Hutchins , and I was the Lead Producer for this title at Mindscape (as listed on this game's credit and existing Wikipedia page. I and the other employees involved were not fired after the release of this game. I did have a dispute with my division manager regarding the product and it's release to manufacturing...which ironically happened while I was out of the country working on another Mindscape game title. I specifically quit in protest over my boss's assigning blame for this product to myself, after asking to expedite the game's completion by working for over 30 days without a single day off. As such, this incorrect information both is defaming and just plain wrong.
Below is what I think would be a more accurate description of the facts upon the release of the game:
|
The U.S. version of the game was completed in October 1994 and released to manufacturing, of which an initial 120,000 units were produced. In December 1994 Fox disputed that Dark Horse possessed adequate contractual rights to allow sub-licensing of the property to Cryo and Mindscape for a videogame. This caused a delay in the game's release, with Fox eventually relenting and allowing Mindscape to sell only the existing stock, disallowing any further manufacturing or marketing.
