James Clerk Maxwell played a major role in developing the concept of a coherent CGS system and in extending the metric system to include electrical units.. A coherent system of units is a system of units of measurement used to express physical quantities that are defined in such a way that the equations relating the numerical values expressed in the units of the system have exactly the same ...
[1]: 139 The base and coherent derived units of the SI together form a coherent system of units (the set of coherent SI units). A useful property of a coherent system is that when the numerical values of physical quantities are expressed in terms of the units of the system, then the equations between the numerical values have exactly the same ...
For instance, a coherent state describes the oscillating motion of a particle confined in a quadratic potential well (for an early reference, see e.g. Schiff's textbook [3]). The coherent state describes a state in a system for which the ground-state wavepacket is displaced from the origin of the system.
The 20th century history of measurement is marked by five periods: the 1901 definition of the coherent MKS system; the intervening 50 years of coexistence of the MKS, cgs and common systems of measures; the 1948 Practical system of units prototype of the SI; the introduction of the SI in 1960; and the evolution of the SI in the latter half century.
Coherence (physics), an ideal property of waves that enables stationary (i.e. temporally and spatially constant) interference Coherence (units of measurement), a derived unit that, for a given system of quantities and for a chosen set of base units, is a product of powers of base units with no other proportionality factor than one
The coherence of a linear system therefore represents the fractional part of the output signal power that is produced by the input at that frequency. We can also view the quantity 1 − C x y {\displaystyle 1-C_{xy}} as an estimate of the fractional power of the output that is not contributed by the input at a particular frequency.
The ghost in the system becomes not a specter to fear but a guide to follow—a reminder that uncertainty, far from being a problem, is the very ground upon which creativity and meaning unfold.
[16] Usually the system of belief is taken to be the complete set of beliefs of the individual or group, that is, their theory of the world. It is necessary for coherentism to explain in some detail what it means for a system to be coherent. At the least, coherence must include logical consistency.
