Teaching and understanding of quantum interpretations in modern physics courses
Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2010 Just as expert physicists vary in their personal stances on interpretation in quantum mechanics, instructors vary on whether and how to teach interpretations of quantum phenomena in introductory modern physics courses.

Quantum Information Dimension and Geometric Entropy
PRX Quantum, 2022 Geometric quantum mechanics, through its differential-geometric underpinning, provides additional tools of analysis and interpretation that bring quantum mechanics closer to classical mechanics: state spaces in both are continuous and equipped with ...

Relative Facts of Relational Quantum Mechanics are Incompatible with Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Quantum, 2023 Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM) claims to be an interpretation of quantum theory \cite{Rovelli.21}. However, there are significant departures from quantum theory: (i) in RQM measurement outcomes arise from interactions which entangle a system $S$ and ...

A no-go theorem for the persistent reality of Wigner’s friend’s perception
Communications Physics, 2021 Wigner’s friend is a thought experiment in theoretical quantum physics that challenges our understanding of quantum theory. The authors present a no-go theorem constraining the structure of probabilities in such a thought experiment and analyze the ...

The Ontology of the Many-Worlds Theory
Quantum Reports, 2023 It is shown that the wavefunction describes our observations using the postulate that relates position to the distribution |Ψ|2. This finding implies that a primary ontology is unnecessary.

Epistemological vs. Ontological Relationalism in Quantum Mechanics: Relativism or Realism? [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper we investigate the history of relationalism and its present use in some interpretations of quantum mechanics. In the first part of this article we will provide a conceptual analysis of the relation between substantivalism, relationalism and

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.

Realism about the Wave Function [PDF]
, 2018 A century after the discovery of quantum mechanics, the meaning of quantum mechanics still remains elusive. This is largely due to the puzzling nature of the wave function, the central object in quantum mechanics.

Flow of time during energy measurements and the resulting time-energy uncertainty relations [PDF]
Quantum, 2022 Uncertainty relations play a crucial role in quantum mechanics. Well-defined methods exist for the derivation of such uncertainties for pairs of observables.
