Non-locality and Possible World
by Tomasz F. Bigaj - De Gruyter Open
This book uses the formal semantics of counterfactual conditionals to analyze the problem of non-locality in quantum mechanics. Counterfactual conditionals (subjunctive conditionals) enter the analysis of quantum entangled systems ...
