Emergent Quantum Mechanics: David Bohm Centennial Perspectives

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
Emergent quantum mechanics (EmQM) explores the possibility of an ontology for quantum mechanics. The resurgence of interest in realist approaches to quantum mechanics challenges the standard textbook view, which represents an operationalist approach. The

Quantum Blobs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Quantum blobs are the smallest phase space units of phase space compatible with the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics and having the symplectic group as group of symmetries.

Framework for understanding the patterns of student difficulties in quantum mechanics

open access: yesPhysical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2015
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Upper Division Physics Courses.] Compared with introductory physics, relatively little is known about the development of expertise in advanced physics courses, especially in the case of quantum mechanics ...

Contextuality in Classical Physics and Its Impact on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
It is shown that the hallmark quantum phenomenon of contextuality is present in classical statistical mechanics (CSM). It is first shown that the occurrence of contextuality is equivalent to there being observables that can differentiate between pure and

DIRAC AND HAMILTON

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2014
Dirac devised his theory of Quantum Mechanics and recognised that his operators resembled the canonical coordinates of Hamiltonian Mechanics. This gave the latter a new lease of life.

On the Stochastic Mechanics Foundation of Quantum Mechanics

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Among the famous formulations of quantum mechanics, the stochastic picture developed since the middle of the last century remains one of the less known ones.

A complete graphical calculus for Spekkens' toy bit theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
While quantum theory cannot be described by a local hidden variable model, it is nevertheless possible to construct such models that exhibit features commonly associated with quantum mechanics. These models are also used to explore the question of {\psi}-

Learn Quantum Mechanics with Haskell [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2016
To learn quantum mechanics, one must become adept in the use of various mathematical structures that make up the theory; one must also become familiar with some basic laboratory experiments that the theory is designed to explain.

Insights into teaching quantum mechanics in secondary and lower undergraduate education

open access: yesPhysical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
This study presents a review of the current state of research on teaching quantum mechanics in secondary and lower undergraduate education. A conceptual approach to quantum mechanics is being implemented in more and more introductory physics courses ...

(Modular) Effect Algebras are Equivalent to (Frobenius) Antispecial Algebras [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2017
Effect algebras are one of the generalizations of Boolean algebras proposed in the quest for a quantum logic. Frobenius algebras are a tool of categorical quantum mechanics, used to present various families of observables in abstract, often nonstandard ...
