Over the course of the past decade, decoherence has become a ubiquitous scienti? c term
popular in all kinds of research, from fundamental theories of quantum physics to …

[T] he structure of this physical world consistently moved farther and farther away from the

The Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics holds that there are many
worlds which exist in parallel at the same space and time as our own. The existence of the …

This is a book about the interpretation of quantum mechanics, in particular how to resolve

Jeffrey Barrett presents the most comprehensive study yet of a problem that has puzzled
physicists and philosophers since the 1930s. The standard theory of quantum mechanics is …

Metaphysicians should pay attention to quantum mechanics. Why? Not because it provides
definitive answers to many metaphysical questions-the theory itself is remarkably silent on …

This book defends a radical new theory of contingency as a physical phenomenon. Drawing
on the many-worlds approach to quantum theory and cutting-edge metaphysics and …

Entanglement was initially thought by some to be an oddity restricted to the realm of thought
experiments. However, Bell's inequality delimiting local-havior and the experimental …

Most modern physicists and philosophers would agree that a decent interpretation of
