Holism, Physical Theories and Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Motivated by the question what it is that makes quantum mechanics a holistic theory (if so), I try to define for general physical theories what we mean by `holism'.

Protective Measurement: A Paradigm Shift in Understanding Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This article introduces the method of protective measurement and discusses its deep implications for the foundations of quantum ...

On the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
What is quantum mechanics about? The most natural way to interpret quantum mechanics realistically as a theory about the world might seem to be what is called wave function ontology: the view according to which the wave function mathematically ...

Two Dogmas About Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We argue that the intractable part of the measurement problem -- the 'big' measurement problem -- is a pseudo-problem that depends for its legitimacy on the acceptance of two dogmas.

Bohm's Ontological Interpretation and Its Relations to Three Formulations of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The standard mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics is specified. Bohm's ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics is then shown to be incapable of providing a suitable interpretation of that formulation.

On the nature of continuous physical quantities in classical and quantum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Within the traditional Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics, it is not possible to describe a particle as possessing, simultaneously, a sharp position value and a sharp momentum value.

Response to Pashby: Time operators and POVM observables in quantum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
I argue against a general time observable in quantum mechanics except for quantum gravity theory. Then I argue in support of case specific arrival time and dwell time observables with a cautionary note concerning the broad approach to POVM observables ...

Rovelli’s relational quantum mechanics, anti-monism and quantum becoming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper I present and defend Rovelli's relation quantum mechanics (RQM) from some foreseeable objections, so as to clarify its philosophical implications vis a vis rival interpretations.

Measurement and Classical Regime in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This article (for the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Physics) focuses on two of the main problems raising interpretational issues in quantum mechanics, namely the notorious measurement problem and the equally important but not quite as widely discussed
