### A question On the deviation of the magnetic field in a solenoid using ampere's law and why we chose a specific ampereian loop

When we derive the magnetic field in a solenoid using ampere's law, we usually consider an ampereian loop such that it's bisected by one side of the transverse section of the solenoid (like in the ...

### Partial measurement of a Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum state

It seems that if you measure a quadrature on the first mode, let's say $\hat{q}$, on a TMSVS, the second mode will collapse into a coherent state $|q+it\rangle$ Is this true ? What is then the value ...
