Manifesting the Quantum World
by Ulrich Mohrhoff
Publisher: arXiv 2014
Number of pages: 50
Description:
In resisting attempts to explain the unity of a whole in terms of a multiplicity of interacting parts, quantum mechanics calls for an explanatory concept that proceeds in the opposite direction: from unity to multiplicity. It concerns the process by which what Sellars called the Manifest Image of the world comes into being...

Time in Quantum Mechanicsby Curt A. Moyer - arXiv
The failure of conventional quantum theory to recognize time as an observable and to admit time operators is addressed. We emphasize the role of the Hamiltonian as the generator of translations in time to construct time states.

On the Foundations of Quantum Theoryby Badis Ydri - arXiv.org
We draw systematic parallels between the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and the information loss problem in black holes. Then we proceed to propose a solution of the former along the lines of the solution of the latter ...

Non-locality and Possible Worldby 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 ...
