  2. Coherent state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_state

    Both are examples of macroscopic quantum coherence. The macroscopically large coherent component, plus noise, in the electromagnetic field, as given by Glauber's description of signal-plus-noise, is formally the same as the macroscopically large superfluid component plus normal fluid component in the two-fluid model of superfluidity.

  3. Coherence (units of measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(units_of...

    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 ...

  4. Coherence (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(physics)

    Coherence controls the visibility or contrast of interference patterns. For example, visibility of the double slit experiment pattern requires that both slits be illuminated by a coherent wave as illustrated in the figure.

  5. Coherent risk measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_risk_measure

    A coherent risk measure is a function that ... As a simple example to demonstrate the non-coherence of value-at-risk consider looking at the VaR of a portfolio at 95% ...

  6. Coherence (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_(signal_processing)

    The coherence (sometimes called magnitude-squared coherence) between two signals x(t) and y(t) is a real-valued function that is defined as: [1] [2] ... For example ...

  7. Coherent states in mathematical physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_states_in...

    The parameter space for the coherent states is the "complexification" of K; e.g., if K is SU(n) then the complexification is SL(n,C). These coherent states have a resolution of the identity that leads to a Segal-Bargmann space over the complexification. Hall's results were extended to compact symmetric spaces, including spheres, by Stenzel.

  8. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    When that multiplier is one, the unit is called a coherent derived unit. For example, the coherent derived SI unit of velocity is the metre per second, with the symbol m/s. [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 ...

  9. Coherentism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherentism

    Coherent truth is divided between an anthropological approach, which applies only to localized networks ('true within a given sample of a population, given our understanding of the population'), and an approach that is judged on the basis of universals, such as categorical sets.
