I briefly review the current status of quantum gravity. After giving some general motivations for the need of such a theory, I discuss the main approaches in quantizing general relativity: Covariant approaches (perturbation theory,…
Based on new experiments about the "macroscopic Schrodinger's cat state" etc., a self-consistent interpretation on quantum mechanics is presented from the new point of view combining physics, philosophy and mathematics together.
This chapter, from the Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Physics (Eleanor Knox and Alastair Wilson, eds., 2021), is an overview of the constraints that relativity places on interpretations of quantum theory. It focuses on four main…
Quantum gravity is the missing piece in our understanding of the fundamental interactions today. Given recent observational breakthroughs in gravity, providing a quantum theory for what lies beyond general relativity is more urgent than…
Advances in quantum technologies are giving rise to a revolution in the way fundamental physics questions are explored at the empirical level. At the same time, they are the seeds for future disruptive technological applications of quantum…
It is argued that a realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible and useful. Current interpretations, from Copenhagen to many worlds are critically revisited. The difficulties for intuitive models of quantum physics are pointed…
In this contribution we use the model of discrete spaces that we have put forward in former articles to give an interpretation to the phenomena of quantum entanglement and quantum states reduction that rests upon a new way of considering…
Quantum physics has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike, because it challenges our notions of reality and locality--concepts that we have grown to rely on in our macroscopic world. It is an intriguing open question whether the…
The status of our understanding of relativistic sum rules is reviewed. The recent development of new theoretical methods for the evaluation of these sum rules offers hope for further advances in this challenging field. These new techniques…
We investigate some forms of quantum logic arising from the standard and the unsharp approach.
The lately developed part of Quantum Bayesianism named QBism has been proclaimed by its authors a powerful interpretation of Quantum Physics. This article presents analysis of some aspects of QBism. The considered examples show…
This article was written in response to a request from an editor of American Vedantist. It is shown that the idea that consciousness is essential to understanding quantum mechanics arises from logical fallacies. This may be welcome news to…
How can we explain the strange behavior of quantum and relativistic entities? Why do they behave in ways that defy our intuition about how physical entities should behave, considering our ordinary experience of the world around us? In this…
Contemporary scientific perspectivism is re-evaluated and extended to a comprehensive perspectivist methodology and 'mediated' realistic epistemology, especially, with reference to quantum mechanics. In the present study, this is realized…
In this paper we discuss the unitary inequivalentness in quantum physics. Then based on some of the current outstanding problems in theoretical physics, we will show the important role of this concept to better understand the physical…
We briefly review the theoretical status and the open theoretical challenges in the physics of heavy quarkonium.
A review of new aspects concerning time-symmetry in Quantum Mechanics.
We discuss alternatives to the usual quantization of relativistic particles which result in discrete spectra for position and time operators.
The concept of time as used in various applications and interpretations of quantum theory is briefly reviewed.
The physical world is quantum. However, our description of the quantum physics still relies much on concepts in classical physics and in some cases with `quantized' interpretations. The most important case example is that of spacetime. We…
