Time reversal symmetry and T^2 = -1 Kramer's Theorem and the issue of antiunitary time reversal symmetries are both dealt with in some detail by the first chapter of Haake, for those interested in reading more on the subject. |

Decoherence and measurement in NMR @JoeFitzsimons: I think of a low-quality coil as coupling to the sample more weakly. Maybe not the right intuition, but I find it at least somewhat helpful... |

Fourier transformation in nature/natural physics? To elaborate on the diffraction grating part, once you have the 2D Fourier transform of a beam by passing it through a grating, you can chop off parts of the transformed beam and pass it through a second grating to filter out parts of the spectrum of the beam. I saw this done once by using an old 35mm slide as a diffraction grating for a laser beam, and you could make details on the slide go away by chopping off the high-frequency components of the transformed beam. |

What is the difference between a measurement and any other interaction in quantum mechanics? I strongly disagree that physicists don't care. The whole field of of quantum foundations is based on trying to answer this and other questions about quantum mechanics. QF is a rich field of study that gives us clues as to what the next theory should look like and how we should expect to go about finding it. |
