What can I give as an example for a dumb instrumentation system?
Here are some:
the furnace thermostat in your house,
the cruise control in your car,
the battery charging system in an old-school car,
the water-filling system in your toilet- These are all "dumb&...

Confusion on AC in LIVE & NEUTRAL WIRE
In a120 volt circuit the neutral wire carries current at 120 volts every other 1/2 cycle, however the voltage potential voltage potential between the neutral and ground is 0 because the neutral is ...

Questions regarding physical electronics
Not quite. Even in the discrete limit, you can solve the corresponding evolution using 2nd quantization, and you should get instep motion of Bloch oscillations (neglecting scattering).
I don't ...
