<SilverFox> can you hook up two AC wall sockets in parallel and things are fine, or will things esplode?
<Iskierka> pretty sure all that'll happen is it'll behave like you have one wall socket
<Iskierka> unless the sockets are an appreciable fraction of 1/5 c*s apart
<Iskierka> *1/50th

<Ellied> SilverFox: If you are absolutely 100% sure you got the polarity right, yes, that should be fine, assuming there are no wiring faults or weird edge cases involved
<Ellied> I question why you'd want to do this, though
<SilverFox> more amps
<Iskierka> You can't get any more power out of it than a plug with no fuse, anyway. Will still trip the circuits
<SilverFox> like, plug two houses' sockets together in parallel
<Ellied> I strongly recommend you don't do that
<Iskierka> if you need that many amps you can get three-phase systems installed
<Ellied> you'd be forming a big loop involving a ton of wire, and there's also the possibility of having multiple transformers involved
<iximeow> Ellied: dumb question: what about "big loop" is an issue?
<UmbralRaptor> Oh, right. I should probably sleep today.

<APlayer> Huh... They keep finding more and more obfuscations: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.04014.pdf
<SnoopJeDi> academia is a process of obfuscation innovation
<bofh> I mean, you're not wrong.
<SnoopJeDi> I *am* jaded, though :P
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, had an interesting colloquium this week about "optical multidimensional spectroscopy" that I think you'd have found provocative
<bofh> oh?
<SnoopJeDi> notably their study of GaAs embedded in a well in the typical layer-sandwich fashion
<SnoopJeDi> they were able to resolve the light-gap/heavy-gap split in frequency space
<SnoopJeDi> lemme see if I can get you that particular paper
<SnoopJeDi> the actual optics are a little blasé at this point: it's "just" 4-wave mixing AFAICT
<SnoopJeDi> err, light/heavy-hole*
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, http://www.pnas.org/content/104/36/14227.full is probably the best ref
<SnoopJeDi> doing 2DFT lets them resolve the ambiguity of multiple resonances and inhomogeneous broadening (i.e. am I looking at one 3-level system or two 2-level systems?)
<SnoopJeDi> really neat phase-space tricks, and they seem to have a remarkably productive relationship with their theoretical counterparts (IIRC they worked out a LONG range Coulomb interaction to explain something or other in this exciton business)

<bofh> oooooooh.
<bofh> this is fascinating
<SnoopJeDi> yea it's a really fancy technique, and you'll understand a LOT more of the theoretical underpinnings than I would
<SnoopJeDi> you might also want to look for their paper on potassium vapor for a much simpler verification material
<SnoopJeDi> I love that the frequency-space reads more or less the way a physicist would read a matrix. "ooh, off-diagonals, coupling!"
<bofh> I mean that's why working in freq/momentum-space is so so so much nicer than working in position-space.
<SnoopJeDi> yea
<bofh> detailed*
