Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

2016
The field of quantum foundations seeks to answer questions such as: What do the elements of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory represent? From what physical principles can the formalism be derived? What are the precise ways in which a quantum world differs from a classical world and other possible worlds?

Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

2001
In the six papers devoted to the foundations of quantum mechanics four subjects are treated. They are distributed over the papers as follows: Quantum logic The Copenhagen interpretation and Bohm Hidden parameters and Bell’s theorem EPR-situation and Bell’s inequality In the following introduction [27], being merely an account, is ...

Foundations of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Nature, 1962
THE fundamental role of Dirac's equation is well known; by demanding relativistic invariance of a first-order equation you get two of the most essential properties of a particle, namely, spin and the existence of an anti-particle. So long as one thinks of groups acting on co-ordinate space no significant generalization of this formalism is possible in ...

Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Physics Bulletin, 1972
Bernard d'Espagnal California: Addison-Wesley 1971 pp xvii + 493 price $1250 (cloth) $695 (paper) Ever since the advent of quantum mechanics, the attempt to provide a clear and comprehensive account of the fundamental physical implications of the quantum formalism has been fraught with conceptual problems. Over the years an extensive body of literature

Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

1972
When [in 1905] the c-theory [Special Theory of Relativity] was born, both the mathematical formalism and its physical interpretation were established simultaneously; merely some questions of physical logic and axiomatics remained to be clarified. The story is quite different in the case of h-theory.

The foundations of quantum mechanics

Foundations of Physics, 1988
Starting from a set of assumptions mainly of an “operational” or experimentally based nature, a derivation of quantum mechanics is presented, with the aim of clarifying the essential features of the theory and their interpretation. Various properties of quantum mechanics such as the addition of amplitudes, the calculation of probabilities, de Broglie's

Philosophic Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Physics Bulletin, 1966
Hans Reichenbach University of California Press (agents; London: Cambridge University Press). 1965. Pp. x + 182. Price 12s. 6d. This is a welcome paperback edition of a book which originally appeared in 1944. Its aim is to analyse the new concepts and methods of physical reasoning which have been introduced into atomic physics as the result mainly of ...
