A Strict Epistemic Approach to Physics
by Per Östborn
Publisher: arXiv 2016
Number of pages: 543
Description:
Here, we derive the formalism of QM from well-motivated epistemic principles. A key assumption is that in a proper physical theory, the introduction of entities or distinctions that are unknowable in principle is in conflict with the theory.

Quantum Transientsby A. del Campo, G. Garcia-Calderon, J. G. Muga - arXiv
Quantum transients are temporary features of matter waves before they reach a stationary regime. Transients may arise after the preparation of an unstable initial state or due to a sudden interaction or a change in the boundary conditions.
