Many worlds and modality in the interpretation of quantum mechanics: an algebraic approach [PDF]
, 2009 Many worlds interpretations (MWI) of quantum mechanics avoid the measurement problem by considering every term in the quantum superposition as actual.

Probability in modal interpretations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 Modal interpretations have the ambition to construe quantum mechanics as an objective, man-independent description of physical reality. Their second leading idea is probabilism: quantum mechanics does not completely fix physical reality but yields ...

Grassmann Matrix Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2015 We explore quantum mechanical theories whose fundamental degrees of freedom are rectangular matrices with Grassmann valued matrix elements. We study particular models where the low energy sector can be described in terms of a bosonic Hermitian matrix ...

Foundations of the Quaternion Quantum Mechanics
Entropy, 2020 We show that quaternion quantum mechanics has well-founded mathematical roots and can be derived from the model of the elastic continuum by French mathematician Augustin Cauchy, i.e., it can be regarded as representing the physical reality of elastic ...

Subjective probability and quantum certainty [PDF]
, 2007 In the Bayesian approach to quantum mechanics, probabilities--and thus quantum states--represent an agent's degrees of belief, rather than corresponding to objective properties of physical systems. In this paper we investigate the concept of certainty in

Interpretations of quantum theory and conceptions of physics majors [PDF]
Investigações em Ensino de Ciências, 2002 This paper investigates the “private” interpretations that students of quantum mechanics develop concerning this theory. By means of questionaires, we analyze their conceptions with respect to the double slit experiment, uncertainty principle, quantum ...

Empirical analysis of quantum mechanics and harmonic applications [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesA brief review of the main ideas (interpretations) of quantum mechanics is given. Each of the considered interpretations contains a number of disputable provisions, the discussion of which allows us to develop our own understanding of the mechanism of ...

Non-Markovian wave-function collapse models are Bohmian-like theories in disguise [PDF]
Quantum, 2021 Spontaneous collapse models and Bohmian mechanics are two different solutions to the measurement problem plaguing orthodox quantum mechanics. They have, a priori nothing in common.

Many-Worlds: Why Is It Not the Consensus?
Quantum Reports, 2023 In this paper, I argue that the many-worlds theory, even if it is arguably the mathematically most straightforward realist reading of quantum formalism, even if it is arguably local and deterministic, is not universally regarded as the best realist ...

Incompleteness of trajectory-based interpretations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2004 Trajectory-based approaches to quantum mechanics include the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation and Nelson's stochastic interpretation. It is shown that the usual route to establishing the validity of such interpretations, via a decomposition of the ...
