Algebraic Quantum Mechanics and Pregeometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We discuss the relation between the q-number approach to quantum mechanics suggested by Dirac and the notion of "pregeometry" introduced by Wheeler. By associating the q-numbers with the elements of an algebra and regarding the primitive idempotents as ...

Probability, Entropy, and Gibbs’ Paradox(es)

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
Two distinct puzzles, which are both known as Gibbs’ paradox, have interested physicists since they were first identified in the 1870s. They each have significance for the foundations of statistical mechanics and have led to lively discussions with

Quasi-relativistic description of a quantum particle moving through one-dimensional piecewise constant potentials

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2020
Using a novel quasi-relativistic wave equation, which can give precise results up to energies ~mc2, exact quantum mechanical solutions are found which corresponds to a particle with mass moving through one-dimensional piecewise constant potentials.

Quantum Information Dimension and Geometric Entropy

open access: yesPRX 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 ...

Seven Steps Towards the Classical World [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Classical physics is about real objects, like apples falling from trees, whose motion is governed by Newtonian laws. In standard quantum mechanics only the wave function or the results of measurements exist, and to answer the question of how the ...

Validation and administration of a conceptual survey on the formalism and postulates of quantum mechanics

open access: yesPhysical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
We developed and validated a conceptual survey that focuses on the formalism and postulates of quantum mechanics covered in upper-level undergraduate quantum mechanics courses. The concepts included in the quantum mechanics formalism and postulate survey

Realism and objectivism in quantum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The present study attempts to provide a consistent and coherent account of what the world could be like, given the conceptual framework and results of contemporary quantum theory. It is suggested that standard quantum mechanics can, and indeed should, be

The Many Classical Faces of Quantum Structures

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Interpretational problems with quantum mechanics can be phrased precisely by only talking about empirically accessible information. This prompts a mathematical reformulation of quantum mechanics in terms of classical mechanics.
