Physical 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

QUANTUM MECHANICS AS QUANTUM MEASURE THEORY [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 1994 The additivity of classical probabilities is only the first in a hierarchy of possible sum rules, each of which implies its successor. The first and most restrictive sum rule of the hierarchy yields measure theory in the Kolmogorov sense, which is appropriate physically for the description of stochastic processes such as Brownian motion.

Quantum Mechanics and an Ontology of Intersubjectivity: Perils and Promises
Open 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 ...

Emergent Quantum Mechanics: David Bohm Centennial Perspectives
Entropy, 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
Physical 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 ...

Acta 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
Entropy, 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

Randomness in Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2010 The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics assumes the existence of the classical deterministic Newtonian world. We argue that in fact the Newton determinism in classical world does not hold and in classical mechanics there is fundamental and irreducible randomness.

Learn Quantum Mechanics with Haskell [PDF]
Electronic 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.
