Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

2021
Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. But more than 100 years after it was first introduced, the interpretation of the theory remains controversial. This Element introduces some of the most puzzling questions at the foundations of quantum mechanics and provides an up-to-date and forward-looking survey of the most ...

Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Nature, 1964
The physical significance of the waves which, according to de Broglie’s concept, are related to the motion of particles was not discovered immediately. Attempts were made at first to regard the particles themselves as consisting of waves and distributed in some region of space.

Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

2017
In this chapter, we introduce the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. We commence by discussing the famous Stern-Gerlach experiments for a particle with the spin 1∕2 as several key quantum mechanical phenomena may be well understood thereof.

Philosophic Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Nature, 1946
IN the preface of this work, the author tells us that he “has tried to develop a philosophical interpretation of quantum physics which is free from metaphysics”; a somewhat puzzling sentence, since much of has treatment might properly be described as metaphysical, in the traditional meaning of the word.

Foundations of quantum mechanics?

Physica Scripta, 2011
Does quantum mechanics have unsolved foundational problems? Is there a dividing line between the quantum and classical descriptions of the world? In this paper, I give an elementary introduction to the mathematical aspects of quantum and classical models which have prompted such questions.

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 ...
