Foundations of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Nature, 1962THE 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, 1972Bernard 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
1972When [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, 1988Starting 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, 1966Hans 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 ...

Logical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
1981It is very natural to recognise a strict analogy between the main problems concerning the logical foundations of quantum theory and most fundamental problems which have arisen in the field of the foundations of mathematics. In both cases (physics and mathematics) three fundamental classes of conceptual difficulties seem to have played a particularly ...

The foundations of quantum mechanics
Physics Today, 1964What are the leading problems of quantum physics today? Where does reduction of the wave-packet occur? Why single-valued wave functions? To what extent have relativity theory and quantum theory really been united consistently? Does it make sense to speak of “quantum mechanical action at a distance”?
