Quantum Mechanics and Experience
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics, Mathematics
- 22 October 2014
After a summary of Bohr's views and their relation to Kant's theory of science, two fruitless lines of attack on the measurement problem are discussed: the way of the psi-ontologist and the way of… Expand
Objective probabilities, quantum counterfactuals, and the ABL rule—A response to R. E. Kastner
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics
- 26 June 2000
The ABL rule is derived as a tool of standard quantum mechanics. The ontological significance of the existence of objective probabilities is discussed. Objections by Kastner [Am. J. Phys. 69, 860–863… Expand
Objectivity, retrocausation, and the experiment of Englert, Scully, and Walther
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics
- 12 March 1999
In a recent contribution to this journal [Am. J. Phys. 64, 1468–1475 (1996)] I wrongly asserted that retrocausation in the Englert, Scully, and Walther (ESW) experiment (a double-slit interference… Expand
PROBABILITIES FROM ENVARIANCE
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics
- 29 January 2004
Zurek claims to have derived Born's rule noncircularly in the context of an ontological no-collapse interpretation of quantum states, without any "deus ex machina imposition of the symptoms of… Expand
Interactionism, Energy Conservation, and the Violation of Physical Laws
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics
- 1 December 1997
The law of energy conservation is either analytic and not threatened by psychophysical interactionism or contingent upon the causal closure of the physical world which interactionism denies. In… Expand
Making Sense of a World of Clicks
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics, Mathematics
- 26 February 2002
In a recent article, O. Ulfbeck and A. Bohr [Found. Phys.31, 757 (2001)] have stressed the genuine fortuitousness of detector clicks, which has also been pointed out, in different terms, by the… Expand
Restoration of interference and the fallacy of delayed choice: Concerning an experiment proposed by Englert, Scully, and Walther
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics
- 1 December 1996
A two‐slit experiment with atoms, proposed by Englert, Scully, and Walther, appears to permit experimenters to choose, after each atom has made its mark on the screen, whether the atom has passed… Expand
Is the end in sight for theoretical pseudophysics
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics, Mathematics
- 17 May 2003
The question of what ontological message (if any) is encoded in the formalism of contemporary physics is, to say the least, controversial. The reasons for this state of affairs are psychological and… Expand
The Pondicherry interpretation of quantum mechanics: An overview
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics
- 23 December 2004
An overview of the Pondicherry interpretation of quantum mechanics is presented. This interpretation proceeds from the recognition that the fundamental theoretical framework of physics is a… Expand
QUANTUM MECHANICS EXPLAINED
- U. Mohrhoff
- Physics
- 2 July 2006
The physical motivation for the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics is made clear and compelling by starting from an obvious fact — essentially, the stability of matter — and inquiring into… Expand
