Tailoring oxide nanoparticle exsolution in La0.5Ba0.5-yCo1-xFexO3-δ

Bell-Type Inequalities from the Perspective of Non-Newtonian Calculus
PublikacjaA class of quantum probabilities is reformulated in terms of non-Newtonian calculus and projective arithmetic. The model generalizes spin-1/2 singlet state probabilities discussed in Czachor (Acta Physica Polonica:139 70–83, 2021) to arbitrary spins s. For s → ∞ the formalism reduces to ordinary arithmetic and calculus. Accordingly, the limit “non-Newtonian to Newtonian” becomes analogous to the classical limit of a quantum theory
