Einstein’s Oxford Blackboard: A Unique Historical Artefact. (arXiv:2205.02539v1 [physics.hist-ph]) 上午9:34 | physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org Authors: Cormac O’Raifeartaigh Einstein’s blackboard is a well-known exhibit at the History of Science Museum at Oxford University. However, it is much less well known that the writing on the board provides a neat summary of a work of historic importance, Einstein’s 1931 model of the… Read more →

It is a standard view in quantum mechanics that two wave functions that differ only in the global phase represent the same physical state. In this paper, I argue that this standard view is wrong and the global phase is real in psi-ontic theories such as the de Broglie Bohm theory, the many-worlds interpretation and collapse theories of quantum mechanics.

Entanglement, Complexity, and Causal Asymmetry in Quantum Theories. (arXiv:2204.06742v1 [physics.hist-ph]) 上午8:51 | Porter Williams | quant-ph updates on arXiv.org It is often claimed that one cannot locate a notion of causation in fundamental physical theories. The reason most commonly given is that the dynamics of those theories do not support any distinction between the past and the future, and this… Read more →
