The role of symmetry in the interpretation of quantum mechanics
(Institute for Scientific Methodology, 2015-12)
Despite the impressive amount of literature on the foundations of quantum mechanics, the relevance of symmetry in interpretation is not properly acknowledged. In fact, although it is usually said that quantum mechanics is ...
Modal interpretations of quantum mechanics
(Stanford University, 2017-01)
The original "modal interpretation" of non-relativistic quantum theory was born in the early 1970s, and at that time the phrase referred to a single interpretation. The phrase now encompasses a class of interpretations, ...
Interpretations of Quantum Theory in the Light of Modern Cosmology
(Springer, 2017-10)
The difficult issues related to the interpretation of quantum mechanics and, in particular, the "measurement problem" are revisited using as motivation the process of generation of structure from quantum fluctuations in ...
Inconsistency of a realistic interpretation of quantum measurements: a simple example
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICX - DEPARTAMENTO DE FÍSICAUFMG, 2020-05-09)
Quantum dissidents: Research on the foundations of quantum theory circa 1970
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
his paper makes a collective biographical profile of a sample of physicists who were protagonists in the research on the foundations of quantum physics circa 1970. We study the cases of Zeh, Bell, Clauser, Shimony, Wigner, ...
The Paraconsistent Logic of Quantum Superpositions
(Springer, 2013-07)
Physical superpositions exist both in classical and in quantum physics. However, what is exactly meant by 'superposition' in each case is extremely different. In this paper we discuss some of the multiple interpretations ...
Many worlds and modality in the interpretation of quantum mechanics: an algebraic approach
(American Institute of Physics, 2009-12)
Many worlds interpretations (MWI) of quantum mechanics avoid the measurement problem by considering every term in the quantum superposition as actual. A seemingly opposed solution is proposed by modal interpretations (MI) ...
Quantum mechanics: modal interpretation and Galilean transformations
(Springer, 2009-04)
The aim of this paper is to consider in what sense the modal-Hamiltonian interpretation of quantum mechanics satisfies the physical constraints imposed by the Galilean group. In particular, we show that the only apparent ...
The modal-Hamiltonian interpretation and the Galilean covariance of quantum mechanics
(Elsevier, 2010-05)
The aim of this paper is to analyze the modal-Hamiltonian interpretation of quantum mechanics in the light of the Galilean group. In particular, it is shown that the rule of definite-value assignment proposed by that ...
