The report presents an exhaustive review of the recent attempt to overcome the difficulties
that standard quantum mechanics meets in accounting for the measurement (or macro …

We present a toy theory that is based on a simple principle: the number of questions about
the physical state of a system that are answered must always be equal to the number that …

Can quantum particles be regarded as individuals, just like books, tables and people?
According to the'received'view-articulated by several physicists in the immediate aftermath of …

Does the quantum state represent reality or our knowledge of reality? In making this
distinction precise, we are led to a novel classification of hidden variable models of quantum …

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new member of the family of the modal interpretations
of quantum mechanics. In this modal-Hamiltonian interpretation, the Hamiltonian of the …

After an introductory section, this article will focus on four questions: How should the Kyoto
School be defined? What is meant by its central philosophical concept of “absolute …

Algebraic quantum field theory provides a general, mathematically precise description of the
structure of quantum field theories, and then draws out consequences of this structure by …

Interference phenomena are a well-known and crucial aspect of quantum mechanics,
famously exemplified by the two-slit experiment. There are many situations, however, in …

Old and new problems of the foundations of quantum mechanics are viewed from the new
perspective provided by a generalization of the mathematical formalism encompassing …

We summarise different aspects of the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. We
argue that it is a real problem which requires a solution, and identify the properties a theory …
