Jones,
If you did not look at the paper by Ron Bourgoin in the latest NET,
you will want to do so.
This appears to refer to:
http://newenergytimes.com/Library/2007BourgoinR-InverseQuantum.pdf
It reflects the insight by the late Dr. Robert Carroll into
fractional quantum states long before Mills surfaced.
The above paper only states: "Acknowledgements: The author’s interest
in inverse quantum states began when he
was an undergraduate student of Professor Robert L. Carroll of
Fairmont, West Virginia (1910-1997)." It doesn't reference any
papers by Carroll, or give any evidence Carroll's work on fractional
quantum states preceded Mills' work that I can see. Do you know of
any Carroll papers or other evidence of Carroll's work preceding
Mills' in this area? I guess it is important to know when Bourgoin
studied under Carroll. Mills has been at the fractional quantum
state thing a long time.
