quantum mechanics interpretation reality hermeneutics realism
2016/6/14
The quest for finding the right interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (QM) is as old as QM and still has not ended, and may never end. The question what an interpretation of QM is has hardly ever been r...
The Entanglement Structure of Quantum Field Systems
relativistic quantum field theory algebraic approach ontology quantum fields quantum entanglement Reeh-Schlieder theorem non-separability ontic structural realism
2016/6/14
This essay considers the question of the ontology of relativistic quantum field theory (RQFT). It aims to discuss possible implications of the peculiarities of quantum entanglement and quantum non-loc...
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Quantum Systems:Emergence or Reduction?
Emergence More is Different Symmetry Breaking Earman's Principle
2016/6/14
Beginning with Anderson (1972), spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in infinite quantum systems is often put forward as an example of (asymptotic) emergence in physics, since in theory no finite syste...
Retrocausal Quantum Mechanics:Maudlin's Challenge Revisited
Time-symmetric quantum theory retrocausal quantum theory transactional interpretation contingent absorber experiments
2016/6/14
In 1994, Maudlin proposed an objection to retrocausal approaches to quantum mechanics in general, and to the transactional interpretation (TI) in particular, involving an absorber that changes locatio...
Unification and the quantum hypothesis in 1900--1913
confirmation quantum hypothesis unification informational relevance Bayesian analysis
2016/6/14
In this paper, I consider some of the first appearances of a hypothesis of quantized energy between the years 1900 and 1913 and provide an analysis of the nature of the unificatory power of this hypot...
I offer an account of how the quantum theory we have helps us explain the enormous variety of phenomena it is generally taken to explain. The account depends on what I have elsewhere called a pragmati...
Causality and Chance in Relativistic Quantum Field Theories
Local causality Microcausality Bell correlations Relativistic quantum field theories Pragmatist interpretation Causal intervention
2016/6/13
Bell appealed to the theory of relativity in formulating his principle of local causality. But he maintained that quantum field theories do not conform to that principle, even when their field equatio...
Observation and Quantum Objectivity
Objectivity quantum theory Wigner's friend quantum Darwinism
2016/6/13
The paradox of Wigner's friend challenges the objectivity of quantum theory. A pragmatist interpretation can meet this challenge by judicious appeal to decoherence. Quantum theory provides situated ag...
The emergence of spacetime in quantum theories of gravity
spacetime quantum gravity emergence
2016/6/13
This is the introduction to the special issue of Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics on the emergence of spacetime in quantum theories of spacetime.
Quantum mechanics,strong emergence and ontological non-reducibility
Interpretation of quantum mechanics emergence downward causation
2016/6/13
We show that a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the notion of event is defined without reference to measurement or observers, allows to construct a quantum ontology based on systems, ...
Distinct Quantum States Cannot Be Compatible with a Single State of Reality
quantum state wave function projective measurement protective measurement physical state ontic state psi-epistemic model
2016/6/13
Recently Lewis et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 150404 (2012)] demonstrated that additional assumptions such as preparation independence are always necessary to rule out a psi-epistemic model, in which t...
Interpreting Quantum Mechanics in Terms of Random Discontinuous Motion of Particles
wave function Schrodinger's equation wavefunction collapse random discontinuous motion of particles de Broglie-Bohm theory many-worlds interpretation dynamical collapse theories
2016/6/13
This thesis is an attempt to reconstruct the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. First, we argue that the wave function in quantum mechanics is a description of random discontinuous motion of...
On the possibility of nonlinear quantum evolution and superluminal communication
nonlinear quantum evolution wavefunction collapse consciousness superluminal communication special relativity
2016/6/13
A possible mechanism of nonlinear quantum evolution is introduced and its implications for quantum communication are investigated. First, it is demonstrated that an appropriate combination of wavefunc...
Protective Measurement:A Paradigm Shift in Understanding Quantum Mechanics

2016/6/13
This article introduces the method of protective measurement and discusses its deep implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics. It is argued that protective measurement implies that the wav...
Space-time,relativity and quantum mechanics:In search of a deeper connection
spacetime translation invariance relativistic invariance linear quantum evolution free Schrodinger equation
2016/6/13
It has been shown that the Lorentz transformations in special relativity can be derived in terms of the principle of relativity and certain properties of space and time such as homogeneity. In this pa...
