Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Quantum mechanics has irked physicists ever since its conception more than 100 years ago. While some of the misgivings, such as it being unintuitive, are merely aesthetic, quantum mechanics has one serious shortcoming: it lacks a physical description of ...

Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics from the Perspective of Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics
Quantum ReportsThis paper examines no-hidden-variables theorems in quantum mechanics from the point of view of statistical mechanics. It presents a general analysis of the measurement process in the Boltzmannian framework that leads to a characterization of (in ...

On the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2012 What is quantum mechanics about? The most natural way to interpret quantum mechanics realistically as a theory about the world might seem to be what is called wave function ontology: the view according to which the wave function mathematically ...

Quantum statistical mechanics of electron gas in magnetic field
Condensed Matter Physics, 2006 Electron eigenstates in a magnetic field are considered. Density of the probability current and an averaged magnetic moment are obtained. Density of states is investigated for two-dimensional electron in a circle that is bound by the infinite potential ...

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

Primitive Ontology and the Structure of Fundamental Physical Theories [PDF]
, 2012 For a long time, it was believed that it was impossible to be realist about quantum mechanics. It took quite a while for the researchers in the foundations of physics, beginning with John Stuart Bell (1987), to convince others that such an alleged ...

New trends in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: classical and quantum systems
, 2020 The main aim of this special issue is to report recent advances and new trends in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of classical and quantum systems, from both theoretical and experimental points of view, within an interdisciplinary context.

God's Action in the World: The Relevance of Quantum Mechanics
Zygon, 2000 It has been suggested that God can act on the world by operating within the limits set by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (HUP) without violating the laws of nature. This requires nature to be intrinsically indeterministic.
