A Dilemma for Relational Quantum Mechanics
Principia: An International Journal of EpistemologyRelational quantum mechanics (RQM) is an interesting alternative to the standard responses to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. But it suffers from a distinctive kind of epistemic solipsism: an observer can’t in principle know anything ...

The Bundle Theory Approach to Relational Quantum Mechanics. [PDF]
Found Phys, 2021 AbstractThe present essay provides a new metaphysical interpretation of Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM) in terms of mereological bundle theory. The essential idea is to claim that a physical system in RQM can be defined as a mereological fusion of properties whose values may vary for different observers.

Systems and Relations All the Way Down, All the Way Across
Footprint, 2021 This article proposes a hyper-relational theory of the world, conjoining cybernetics, information theory, general systems theory, the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and quantum physics in order to show that systems and relations go all the way down ...

The measurement problem in Quantum Mechanics: Convivial Solipsism [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 The problem of measurement is often considered an inconsistency inside the quantum formalism. Many attempts to solve (or to dissolve) it have been made since the inception of quantum mechanics.

Quantum reference frames for general symmetry groups [PDF]
Quantum, 2020 A fully relational quantum theory necessarily requires an account of changes of quantum reference frames, where quantum reference frames are quantum systems relative to which other systems are described.

Quantization of events in the event-universe and the emergence of quantum mechanics
Scientific Reports, 2023 Quantum mechanics (QM) is derived based on a universe composed solely of events, for example, outcomes of observables. Such an event universe is represented by a dendrogram (a finite tree) and in the limit of infinitely many events by the p-adic tree ...

Equivalence of Approaches to Relational Quantum Dynamics in Relativistic Settings
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 We have previously shown that three approaches to relational quantum dynamics—relational Dirac observables, the Page-Wootters formalism and quantum deparametrizations—are equivalent.

Non-inertial quantum clock frames lead to non-Hermitian dynamics
Communications Physics, 2022 Relativistic theories brought the operational notion of time to the center stage of physics. Here, the authors show that effective unitary dynamics is not guaranteed if this notion is extended to quantum mechanics when relativistic corrections are ...
