Between classical and quantum [PDF]
, 2005 The relationship between classical and quantum theory is of central importance to the philosophy of physics, and any interpretation of quantum mechanics has to clarify it.

Inferential vs. Dynamical Conceptions of Physics [PDF]
, 2013 I contrast two possible attitudes towards a given branch of physics: as inferential (i.e., as concerned with an agent's ability to make predictions given finite information), and as dynamical (i.e., as concerned with the dynamical equations governing ...

Probability in physics: stochastic, statistical, quantum [PDF]
, 2013 I review the role of probability in contemporary physics and the origin of probabilistic time asymmetry, beginning with the pre-quantum case (both stochastic mechanics and classical statistical mechanics) but concentrating on quantum theory. I argue that

Refined characterization of student perspectives on quantum physics [PDF]
, 2010 The perspectives of introductory classical physics students can often negatively influence how those students later interpret quantum phenomena when taking an introductory course in modern physics.

The Logic of Quantum Mechanics Derived from Classical General Relativity [PDF]
, 1997 For the first time it is shown that the logic of quantum mechanics can be derived from Classical Physics. An orthomodular lattice of propositions, characteristic of quantum logic, is constructed for manifolds in Einstein's theory of general relativity. A

Particles, Objects, and Physics [PDF]
, 2005 This thesis analyses the ontological nature of quantum particles. In it I argue that quantum particles, despite their indistinguishability, are objects in much the same way as classical particles. This similarity provides an important point of continuity

A quantum-classical bracket from p-mechanics [PDF]
, 2005 We provide an answer to the long standing problem of mixing quantum and classical dynamics within a single formalism. The construction is based on p-mechanical derivation (quant-ph/0212101, quant-ph/0304023) of quantum and classical dynamics from the ...

Development and uses of upper-division conceptual assessments [PDF]
, 2015 The use of validated conceptual assessments alongside conventional course exams to measure student learning in introductory courses has become standard practice in many physics departments.
