Simulating single-spin dynamics on an IBM five-qubit chip [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, 2020 In this paper we show how the IBM superconducting chips can be a powerful tool for teaching foundations of quantum mechanics for undergraduate students (for graduates as well, in some cases). To this end, we briefly discuss about the main elements of the

Entropy in Foundations of Quantum Physics
Entropy, 2020 Entropy can be used in studies on foundations of quantum physics in many different ways, each of them using different properties of this mathematical object [...]

Interpretation of Quantum Theory: The Quantum “Grue-Bleen” Problem
Entropy, 2022 We present a critique of the many-world interpretation of quantum mechanics, based on different “pictures” that describe the time evolution of an isolated quantum system. Without an externally imposed frame to restrict these possible pictures, the theory

On the Stochastic Mechanics Foundation of Quantum Mechanics
Universe, 2021 Among the famous formulations of quantum mechanics, the stochastic picture developed since the middle of the last century remains one of the less known ones.

Geometric Event-Based Quantum Mechanics
New Journal of Physics, 2023 We propose a special relativistic framework for quantum mechanics. It is based on introducing a Hilbert space for events. Events are taken as primitive notions (as customary in relativity), whereas quantum systems (e.g. fields and particles) are emergent

Generalized uncertainty principle and burning stars
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Gamow’s theory of the implications of quantum tunneling for star burning has two cornerstones: quantum mechanics and the equipartition theorem. It has been proposed that both of these foundations are affected by the existence of a non-zero minimum length,

"Space is blue and birds fly through it" [PDF]
, 2017 Quantum mechanics is not about 'quantum states': it is about values of physical variables. I give a short fresh presentation and update on the $relational$ perspective on the theory, and a comment on its philosophical implications.Comment: Presented to ...

Quantum Theory, Namely the Pure and Reversible Theory of Information
Entropy, 2012 After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our understanding. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about complex Hilbert spaces.

Can the double-slit experiment distinguish between quantum interpretations?
Communications Physics, 2023 Despite the astonishing successes of quantum mechanics, due to some fundamental problems such as the measurement problem and quantum arrival time problem, the predictions of the theory are in some cases not quite clear and unique.

Probability, Entropy, and Gibbs’ Paradox(es)
Entropy, 2018 Two distinct puzzles, which are both known as Gibbs’ paradox, have interested physicists since they were first identified in the 1870s. They each have significance for the foundations of statistical mechanics and have led to lively discussions with
