Emergent quantum technologies have led to increasing interest in decoherence - the processes that limit the appearance of quantum effects and turn them into classical phenomena. One important cause of decoherence is the interaction of a…

This paper argues that the traditional opposition between determinism and indeterminism in physics is representational rather than ontological. Deterministic-stochastic dualities are available in principle, and arise in a non-contrived way…

We investigate bounds on decoherence in quantum mechanics by studying $B$ and $D$-mixing observables, making use of many precise new measurements, particularly from the LHC and B factories. In that respect we show that the stringent bounds…

The inferential model (IM) framework produces data-dependent, non-additive degrees of belief about the unknown parameter that are provably valid. The validity property guarantees, among other things, that inference procedures derived from…

Integrable models are often constructed with real systems in mind. The exact solvability of the models leads to results which are unambiguous and provide the correct physical picture. In this review, we discuss the physical basis of some…

Quantum Measure Theory (QMT) is a generalization of quantum theory where physical predictions are computed from a matrix known as \emph{decoherence functional} (DF). Previous works have noted that, in its original formulation, QMT exhibits…
