Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
TLDR
Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
Macroscopic Quantum Phenomena at the Squid
The possibility of a coherent superposition of two macroscopically different states is discussed, e.g., in connection with the most popular Schrodinger “cat paradox” (Schrodinger 1935, Audretsch and…
On the Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen Paradox and the Relevant Philosophical Problems
The controversy on “Can the Quantum Mechanical Description of Physical Reality be Considered Complete?” was everlasting for almost sixty years [1, 2]. A clarification was made by J. Bell [3], who…
Philosophy of quantum mechanics
In the recent literature the use of the term “Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics” is very similar to that of the corresponding term “Philosophy of Mathematics”. Its denotation includes a vast class of…
Are quantum-mechanical-like models possible, or necessary, outside quantum physics?
This article examines some experimental conditions that invite and possibly require recourse to quantum-mechanical-like mathematical models (QMLMs), models based on the key mathematical features of…
Locality and Lorentz-Covariance in the Modal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
The first derivation of Bell inequalities, which started the quantum mechanical locality discussion, was based on the assumption that measurement outcomes in EPR-Bohm-type experiments are…
POSSIBILITIES FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING
TLDR
This tutorial introduces quantum information science, a quickly developing area of multidisciplinary research that is an intersection of mathematics, physics and informatics and the theoretical description of quantum data transfer and a possible quantum computer.
The statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics
The Statistical Interpretation of quantum theory is formulated for the purpose of providing a sound interpretation using a minimum of assumptions. Several arguments are advanced in favor of…
Quantum Mechanics without “The Observer”
TLDR
This thesis is that the observer, or better, the experimentalist, plays in quantum theory exactly the same role as in classical physics.
