相关论文: Interpreting the Quantum World

We present a talk given by Bryce DeWitt on Quantum Gravity, and present many references. This article is the first installment of the book "The Pursuit of Quantum Gravity 1946-2004; Memoirs of Bryce DeWitt" that Cecile DeWitt is preparing.

This book delves into the burgeoning field of quantum resource theories, a novel and vibrant area of research within quantum information science that seeks to unify diverse quantum phenomena under a single framework. By recognizing various…

The purpose of this book is to explain Quantum Bayesianism ('QBism') to "people without easy access to mathematical formulas and equations" (4-5). Qbism is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that "doesn't meddle with the technical…

This is a review-essay on ``Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics'' by John Bell and ``The Undivided Universe: An Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics'' by David Bohm and Basil Hiley. The views of these authors…

A collection of short expository essays by the author on various topics in quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology, and physics in general.

This is a book review of the book: "Quantum Theory as an Emergent Phenomenon", by Stephen L. Adler (Cambridge University Press - 2004)

This paper collects into one place my replies to the questions posed by Maximilian Schlosshauer in his interview volume about the foundations of quantum mechanics, "Elegance and Enigma: The Quantum Interviews" (Springer, 2011).

At the time of publication of H. Everett's Relative-State Formulation (1957) and DeWitt's Many-Worlds Interpretation (1970), quantum mechanics was available in a more modern and adequate version than the one used by these authors. We show…

This pseudo-paper consists of excerpts drawn from two of my quantum-email samizdats. Section 1 draws a picture of a physical world whose essence is ``Darwinism all the way down.'' Section 2 outlines how quantum theory should be viewed in…

This paper collects into one place (most of) my answers to the questions Maximilian Schlosshauer posed in his interview volume, "Elegance and Enigma: The Quantum Interviews" (Springer, Frontiers Collection, 2011).

This is the draft version of a review paper which is going to appear in "Advances in Imaging and Electron Physics"

The author's opinion on the interpretation of quantum mechanics is further elucidated. Not only may quantum mechanics be a description of the sub-microscopic world that is profoundly different from what is often asserted, particularly…

A review of "Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Theory: An Appraisal" (James Cushing, Arthur Fine and Sheldon Goldstein, Eds.), an extensive collection of articles on Bohmian mechanics. In addition to broad, critical overviews of Bohmian…

This is a draft version of Part II of a three-part textbook on quantum field theory.

By popular request we post these old (from 2001) lecture notes of the Varenna Summer School Proceedings. The original was published as J. I. Cirac, L. M. Duan, and P. Zoller, in "Experimental Quantum Computation and Information" Proceedings…

This note is a comment on the "quantum interferometry" section of Reference [1]. It points out that the methods of that section can be applied to more general states than the ones that are discussed in Ref. [1].
