How best to think about quantum systems under permutation invariance is a question that has received a great deal of attention in the literature. But very little attention has been paid to taking seriously the proposal that permutation invariance reflects a representational redundancy in the formalism. Under such a proposal, it is far from obvious how a constituent quantum system is represented. Consequently, it is also far from obvious how quantum systems compose to form assemblies, i.e. what…

Are field quanta real objects? Some remarks on the ontology of quantum field theory
How to Justify the Symmetrization Postulate in Quantum Mechanics
The aim of this paper is to reconstruct and correct one argument (known in the literature as the exchange degeneracy argument) in support of the symmetrization postulate in quantum mechanics. I…
On Some Troubles with the Metaphysics of Fermionic Compositions
In this paper I discuss some metaphysical consequences of an unorthodox approach to the problem of the identity and individuality of “indistinguishable” quantum particles. This approach is based on…
Interpreting Quantum Entanglement: Steps towards Coherentist Quantum Mechanics
We put forward a new, ‘coherentist’ account of quantum entanglement, according to which entangled systems are characterized by symmetric relations of ontological dependence among the component…
From ontic structural realism to metaphysical coherentism
The present paper argues that the typical structuralist claims according to which invariances, symmetries and the like are fundamental – especially in physics – should not be understood in terms of…
How Do Things Persist? Location Relations in Physics and the Metaphysics of Persistence
This paper investigates the use of theories of mechanics (classical and quantum) to provide answers to questions in the metaphysics of spatial location and persistence. Investigating spatial…
Synchronic and diachronic identity for elementary particles
The main focus of this paper is on the notion of transtemporal (diachronic) identity applied to quantum particles. I pose the question of how the symmetrization postulate with respect to…

Individuation , entanglement and composition in permutation-invariant quantum mechanics
In this article I expound an understanding of the quantum mechanics of socalled “indistinguishable” systems in which permutation invariance is taken as a symmetry of a special kind, namely the result…
Discerning Fermions
We demonstrate that the quantum-mechanical description of composite physical systems of an arbitrary number of similar fermions in all their admissible states, mixed or pure, for all…
Discerning “Indistinguishable” Quantum Systems
In a series of recent papers, Simon Saunders, Fred Muller, and Michael Seevinck have collectively argued, against the folklore, that some nontrivial version of Leibniz’s principle of the identity of…

There has been considerable recent philosophical debate over the implications of many particle quantum mechanics for the metaphysics of individuality (cf. Huggett [1997]). In this paper I look at…
General criterion for the entanglement of two indistinguishable particles (10 pages)
We relate the notion of entanglement for quantum systems composed of two identical constituents to the impossibility of attributing a complete set of properties to both particles. This implies…
The Logic of Quantum Mechanics
One of the aspects of quantum theory which has attracted the most general attention, is the novelty of the logical notions which it presupposes. It asserts that even a complete mathematical…

Forty years after the advent of quantum mechanics the problem of hidden variables, that is, the possibility of imbedding quantum theory into a classical theory, remains a controversial and obscure…
