Quantum Mechanics and an Ontology of Intersubjectivity: Perils and Promises

open access: yesOpen Theology, 2018
Contemporary theology has realized the importance of integrating what we know from the “new physics”-quantum mechanics and relativity theory-into the metaphysical and ontological categories used by theology to consider God, the world, and the God-world ...

Heisenberg's Philosophical Approaches in the Development of Quantum Mechanics with the Copenhagen Interpretation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Philosophical Investigations, 2021
Heisenberg is one of the founders of quantum mechanics, and one of the pioneers and intellectual leaders of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. He proposed in two seminal papers in 1925 and 1927, the fundamentals of matrix mechanics (1925)

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

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.

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.

Probability in the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
It is argued that, although in the Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics there is no ``probability'' for an outcome of a quantum experiment in the usual sense, we can understand why we have an illusion of probability. The explanation involves:
