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.

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

Ontology in Quantum Mechanics

open access: yes, 2021
It is suspected that the quantum evolution equations describing the micro-world as we know it are of a special kind that allows transformations to a special set of basis states in Hilbert space, such that, in this basis, the evolution is given by elements of the permutation group. This would restore an ontological interpretation.

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.

From Cbits to Qbits: Teaching computer scientists quantum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A strategy is suggested for teaching mathematically literate students, with no background in physics, just enough quantum mechanics for them to understand and develop algorithms in quantum computation and quantum information theory.

Decoherence in quantum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Physics, 2011
We study decoherence in a simple quantum mechanical model using two approaches. Firstly, we follow the conventional approach to decoherence where one is interested in solving the reduced density matrix from the perturbative master equation. Secondly, we consider our novel correlator approach to decoherence where entropy is generated by neglecting ...

(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 ...

Local Quantum Measurement and No-Signaling Imply Quantum Correlations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We show that, assuming that quantum mechanics holds locally, the finite speed of information is the principle that limits all possible correlations between distant parties to be quantum mechanical as well.

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 ...
