Measurement and Classical Regime in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2011 This article (for the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Physics) focuses on two of the main problems raising interpretational issues in quantum mechanics, namely the notorious measurement problem and the equally important but not quite as widely discussed

Deformation quantization: Quantum mechanics lives and works in phase space
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 Wigner’s 1932 quasi-probability Distribution Function in phase-space, his first paper in English, is a special (Weyl) representation of the density matrix.

Time-reversal invariance and irreversibility in time-asymmetric quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2005 The aim of this paper is to analyze the concepts of time-reversal invariance and irreversibility in the so-called 'time-asymmetric quantum mechanics'. We begin with pointing out the difference between these two concepts.

Ontic structural realism and the interpretation of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2012 This paper argues that ontic structural realism (OSR) faces a dilemma: either it remains on the general level of realism with respect to the structure of a given theory, but then it is, like epistemic structural realism, only a partial realism; or it is ...

The Quantum Relative Entropy of the Schwarzschild Black Hole and the Area Law
EntropyThe area law obeyed by the thermodynamic entropy of black holes is one of the fundamental results relating gravity to statistical mechanics. In this work, we provide a derivation of the area law for the quantum relative entropy of the Schwarzschild black

Entanglement Exchange and Bohmian Mechanics [PDF]
, 2009 This paper analyses the phenomenon of entanglement exchange in Bohm's pilot wave interpretation of quantum mechanics. The interesting feature of the phenomenon is that systems become entangled without causal interaction; hence it is a useful situation ...

The Born Rule—100 Years Ago and Today
EntropyThe details of the contents and formulations of the Born rule have changed considerably from its inception by Born in 1926 to the present day. This paper traces the early history of the Born rule 100 years ago, its generalization (essential for today’s ...

Quantum Gravity Effects in Statistical Mechanics with Modified Dispersion Relation
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2018 Planck scale inspired theories which are also often accompanied with maximum energy and/or momentum scale predict deformed dispersion relations compared to ordinary special relativity and quantum mechanics.

Quantum Mechanics versus Special Relativity: A forgotten conflict [PDF]
, 2008 Despite the widespread assumptions on the compatibility between non-relativistic quantum mechanics and special relativity, there still remains a considerable amount of unresolved problems to which few authors explicitly pay attention.

Asymmetric Information and Quantization in Financial Economics
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2012 We show how a quantum formulation of financial economics can be derived from asymmetries with respect to Fisher information. Our approach leverages statistical derivations of quantum mechanics which provide a natural basis for interpreting quantum ...
