Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …

Environment-induced decoherence and superselection have been a subject of intensive
research over the past two decades, yet their implications for the foundational problems of …

Over the course of the past decade, decoherence has become a ubiquitous scienti? c term

I suggest that the common unease with taking quantum mechanics as a fundamental
description of nature (the “measurement problem”) could derive from the use of an incorrect …

This is a book about the interpretation of quantum mechanics, in particular how to resolve
the measurement problem introduced by the orthodox interpretation of the theory. The heart …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Any attempt to construct a realistinterpretation of quantum theory founders on theKochen–
Specker theorem, which asserts theimpossibility of assigning values to quantum quantitiesin …

The original" modal interpretation" of non-relativistic quantum theory was born in the early
1970s, and at that time the phrase referred to a single interpretation. The phrase now …
