Bohm's Ontological Interpretation and Its Relations to Three Formulations of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 1998 The standard mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics is specified. Bohm's ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics is then shown to be incapable of providing a suitable interpretation of that formulation.

The topological renormalisation of the 0(3) sigma model [PDF]
, 1995 Like other field theories of physical interest, the moduli-space integrals of the non-linear two-dimensional 0(3) sigma model diverge. We show that in the one-instanton sector the imposition of a cut-off in the moduli-space leads to an unacceptable ...

Geometric Discretization of Lagrangian Mechanics and Field Theories [PDF]
, 2009 This thesis presents a unified framework for geometric discretization of highly oscillatory mechanics and classical field theories, based on Lagrangian variational principles and discrete differential forms. For highly oscillatory problems in mechanics,

Identity, Superselection Theory and the Statistical Properties of Quantum Fields [PDF]
, 2012 The permutation symmetry of quantum mechanics is widely thought to imply a sort of metaphysical underdetermination about the identity of particles. Despite claims to the contrary, this implication does not hold in the more fundamental quantum field ...

Perturbative Stability and Error-Correction Thresholds of Quantum Codes
PRX QuantumTopologically ordered phases are stable to local perturbations, and topological quantum error-correcting codes enjoy thresholds to local errors. We connect the two notions of stability by constructing classical statistical mechanics models for decoding ...

Quantum information theory and the foundations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis is a contribution to the debate on the implications of quantum information theory for the foundational problems of quantum mechanics. In Part I an attempt is made to shed some light on the nature of information and quantum information theory.

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

Against the 'No-Go' Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2013 In the area of the foundations of quantum mechanics a true industry appears to have developed in the last decades, with the aim of proving as many results as possible concerning what there cannot be in the quantum realm. In principle, the significance of

Holism, Physical Theories and Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2004 Motivated by the question what it is that makes quantum mechanics a holistic theory (if so), I try to define for general physical theories what we mean by `holism'.

On the Classical Limit of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2008 Contrary to the widespread belief, the problem of the emergence of classical mechanics from quantum mechanics is still open. In spite of many results on the ¯h → 0 asymptotics, it is not yet clear how to explain within standard quantum mechanics the ...
