Mental intervention in quantum scattering of ions without violating conservation laws
There have been several proposals in the past that mind might influence matter by exploiting the randomness of quantum events. Here, calculations are presented how mental selection of quantum mechanical scattering directions of ions in the axon hillock of neuronal cells could influence diffusion and initiate an action potential. Only a few thousand ions would need to be affected. No conservation laws are violated, but a momentary and very small local decrease of temperature should occur, consistent with a quantum mechanically possible but extremely improbable evolution. An estimate of the concurrent violation of the second law of thermodynamics is presented. Some thoughts are given to how this hypothesized mental intervention could be tested.

Quantum Energy Regression using Scattering Transforms
We present a novel approach to the regression of quantum mechanical energies based on a scattering transform of an intermediate electron density representation. A scattering transform is a deep convolution network comput…

A Quantum Field Theory is defined by its interaction Hamiltonian, and linked to experimental data by the scattering matrix. The scattering matrix is calculated as a perturbative series, and represented succinctly as a fi…
Generating extreme quantum scattering in graphene with machine learning
Graphene quantum dots provide a platform for manipulating electron behaviors in two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials. Most previous works were of the "forward" type in that the objective was to solve various confinement,…
