I give a brief account of the way in which thermodynamics and statistical mechanics actually work as contemporary scientific theories, and in particular of what statistical mechanics contributes to th...
Justifying Typicality Measures of Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics and Dynamical Systems
typicality probability Boltzmann statistical mechanics dynamical systems ergodic epsilon-ergodic translation-continuous translation-close
2016/6/15
A popular view in contemporary Boltzmannian statistical mechanics is to interpret the measures as typicality measures. In dynamical systems theory measures can similarly be interpreted as typicality m...
Bohmian mechanics without wave function ontology
Bohmian mechanics quantum mechanics quantum potential wave function explanation causation
2016/6/15
In this paper I critically assess different three-dimensionalist interpretations of Bohmian mechanics in order to evaluate the prospects of interpreting Bohmian mechanics without committing to a wave ...
Interventions and Causality in Quantum Mechanics
Causal Inference EPR correlations Causal Markov Condition Interventions philosophy of quantum mechanics
2016/6/15
I argue that the Causal Markov Condition (CMC) is in principle applicable to the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations. This is in line with my defence in the past of the applicability of the Pri...
Kantian Causality and Quantum Quarks:The Compatibility between Quantum Mechanics and Kant’s Phenomenal World
Kant quantum theory Copenhagen interpretation indeterminism perspectives law of causality transcendental idealism teoría cuantica interpretación de Copenhague indeterminismo perspectivas ley de causalidad idealismo trascendental
2016/6/15
Quantum indeterminism seems incompatible with Kant’s defense of causality in his Second Analogy.The Copenhagen interpretation also takes quantum theory as evidence for anti-realism. This article argue...
A formal framework for the study of the notion of undefined particle number in quantum mechanics
set theory undefined particle number
2016/6/15
It is usually stated that quantum mechanics presents problems with the identity of particles, the most radical position -supported by E. Schrodinger- asserting that elementary particles are not indivi...
On the Consistency of the Consistent Histories Approach to Quantum Mechanics
Consistent Histories Decoherent Histories Consistent Quantum Theory Quantum Cosmology
2016/6/15
The Consistent Histories (CH) formalism aims at a quantum mechanical framework for the universe as a whole. CH stresses the importance of histories for quantum mechanics, as opposed to measurements, a...
Circumveiloped by Obscuritads.The nature of interpretation in quantum mechanics,hermeneutic circles and physical reality,with cameos of James Joyce and Jacques Derrida
quantum mechanics interpretation reality hermeneutics realism
2016/6/14
The quest for finding the right interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (QM) is as old as QM and still has not ended, and may never end. The question what an interpretation of QM is has hardly ever been r...
Retrocausal Quantum Mechanics:Maudlin's Challenge Revisited
Time-symmetric quantum theory retrocausal quantum theory transactional interpretation contingent absorber experiments
2016/6/14
In 1994, Maudlin proposed an objection to retrocausal approaches to quantum mechanics in general, and to the transactional interpretation (TI) in particular, involving an absorber that changes locatio...
Quantum mechanics,strong emergence and ontological non-reducibility
Interpretation of quantum mechanics emergence downward causation
2016/6/13
We show that a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the notion of event is defined without reference to measurement or observers, allows to construct a quantum ontology based on systems, ...
Interpreting Quantum Mechanics in Terms of Random Discontinuous Motion of Particles
wave function Schrodinger's equation wavefunction collapse random discontinuous motion of particles de Broglie-Bohm theory many-worlds interpretation dynamical collapse theories
2016/6/13
This thesis is an attempt to reconstruct the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. First, we argue that the wave function in quantum mechanics is a description of random discontinuous motion of...
Protective Measurement:A Paradigm Shift in Understanding Quantum Mechanics
protective measurement wave function expectation value physical state mass and charge distributions ergodic motion of a particle random discontinuous motion of particles measurement problem
2016/6/13
This article introduces the method of protective measurement and discusses its deep implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics. It is argued that protective measurement implies that the wav...
Space-time,relativity and quantum mechanics:In search of a deeper connection
spacetime translation invariance relativistic invariance linear quantum evolution free Schrodinger equation
2016/6/13
It has been shown that the Lorentz transformations in special relativity can be derived in terms of the principle of relativity and certain properties of space and time such as homogeneity. In this pa...
Response to Pashby:Time operators and POVM observables in quantum mechanics
parameter time time operators time observables PVM POVM
2016/6/13
I argue against a general time observable in quantum mechanics except for quantum gravity theory. Then I argue in support of case specific arrival time and dwell time observables with a cautionary not...
The Best Humean System for Statistical Mechanics
Boltzmannian statistical mechanics determinism objective chances
2016/6/13
Classical statistical mechanics posits probabilities for various events to occur, and these probabilities seem to be objective chances. This does not seem to sit well with the fact that the theory’s t...
