Evidence for the epistemic view of quantum states: A toy theory

RW Spekkens - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2007 - APS
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 …

Modal interpretations of quantum mechanics

OI Lombardi, D Dieks - 2017 - ri.conicet.gov.ar
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 …

[BOOK][B] Quantum chance and non-locality: Probability and non-locality in the interpretations of quantum mechanics

WM Dickson - 1998 - books.google.com

Quantum superpositions and the representation of physical reality beyond measurement outcomes and mathematical structures

C De Ronde - Foundations of Science, 2018 - Springer
In this paper we intend to discuss the importance of providing a physical representation of
quantum superpositions which goes beyond the mere reference to mathematical structures …

The paraconsistent logic of quantum superpositions

N da Costa, C De Ronde - Foundations of physics, 2013 - Springer
Physical superpositions exist both in classical and in quantum physics. However, what is
exactly meant by 'superposition'in each case is extremely different. In this paper we discuss …

[HTML][HTML] Action at a distance in quantum mechanics

J Berkovitz - 2007 - plato.stanford.edu

Dynamics for modal interpretations

G Bacciagaluppi, M Dickson - Foundations of Physics, 1999 - Springer
An outstanding problem in so-called modal interpretations of quantum mechanics has been
the specification of a dynamics for the properties introduced in such interpretations. We …
