Elementary Quantum Metaphysics
- D. Albert
- Physics
- 1996
Once upon a time, the twentieth-century investigations of the behaviors of sub-atomic particles were thought to have established that there can be no such thing as an objective, observer-independent,… Expand
Tails of Schrödinger’s Cat
IN HIS FAMOUS THOUGHT EXPERIMENT, Schrodinger (1935) imagined a cat that measures the value of a quantum mechanical observable with its life. Adapted to the measurement of x-spin of an electron, the… Expand

Can we make sense out of the measurement process in relativistic quantum mechanics
- Y. Aharonov, D. Albert
- Physics
- 15 July 1981
We study the instantaneity of the state-reduction process in relativistic quantum mechanics. The conclusion of various authors that this instantaneity will restrict the set of relativistic… Expand
States and observables in relativistic quantum field theories
- Y. Aharonov, D. Albert
- Physics
- 15 June 1980
We discuss two related issues pertaining to the foundations of relativistic quantum field theories. First: the question of observables; more particularly the question of what constraints, if any, are… Expand
