• Abstract: This note is a friendly technical check of arXiv:2511.21731v1. I highlight a few places where the manuscript's interpretation of (i) the reported CHSH/Bell-type calculations and (ii) Bose--Einstein (BE) fits to rank-frequency data seems to go beyond what the stated procedures can firmly support. I also point out one internal inconsistency in the "energy-level spacing" analogy. The aim is constructive: to keep the interesting empirical observations, while making clear what they do (and do not) imply about quantum entanglement in the usual Hilbert-space sense, especially when "energy" is defined by rank.

• Quantum Simulation for Quantum Dynamics with Artificial Boundary Conditions [28.46014452281448]
  It is necessary to use artificial boundary conditions (ABC) to confine quantum dynamics within a fixed domain. The introduction of ABCs alters the Hamiltonian structure of the dynamics, and existing quantum algorithms can not be directly applied. This paper utilizes a recently introduced Schr"odingerisation method that converts non-Hermitian dynamics to a Schr"odinger form.

• Constraint Inequalities from Hilbert Space Geometry & Efficient Quantum Computation [0.0]
  Useful relations describing arbitrary parameters of given quantum systems can be derived from simple physical constraints imposed on the vectors in the corresponding Hilbert space. We describe the procedure and point out that this parallels the necessary considerations that make Quantum Simulation of quantum fields possible. We suggest how to use these ideas to guide and improve parameterized quantum circuits.

• Ruling out real-valued standard formalism of quantum theory [19.015836913247288]
  A quantum game has been developed to distinguish standard quantum theory from its real-number analog. We experimentally implement the quantum game based on entanglement swapping with a state-of-the-art fidelity of 0.952(1). Our results disprove the real-number formulation and establish the indispensable role of complex numbers in the standard quantum theory.

A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
