This is a list of this week’s papers on quantum foundations published in various journals or uploaded to preprint servers such as arxiv.org and PhilSci Archive. arXiv:1610.00671 [quant-ph] Dynamical collapse for photons Philip Pearle I suggest a simple alteration of my CSL (Continuous Spontaneous Localization) theory, replacing the mass density collapse-generating operators by relativistic energy density operators. Some consequences of the… Read more →
Heinrich Päs (Technische Universität Dortmund) A minimal approach to the measurement problem and the quantum-to-classical transition assumes a universally valid quantum formalism, i.e. unitary time evolution governed by a Schrödinger-type equation. As had been pointed out long ago, in this view the measurement process can be described by decoherence which results in a “Many-Worlds” or “Many-Minds” scenario according to Everett and Zeh. A silent… Read more →

Edward J. Gillis Wiseman has claimed that Bell was wrong in stating that determinism was inferred rather than assumed in the summary of the EPR argument in his 1964 paper. The reply of Wiseman and his co-authors to my comment misstates my reasons for disputing this point, and fails to address the central criticism that their claim is based on a seriously flawed… Read more →

“This is the paradox. The photon emerged from the box with energy much higher than it had inside, but the energy did not come from the opener, the only other system in the problem. Energy seems not to be conserved.” On conservation laws in quantum mechanics.
