editor started the topic Quantum theory is incompatible with relativity: A proof beyond Bell's theorem in the forum
2019 International Workshop: Beyond Bell's theorem 5 years, 2 months agohttp://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/16155/
It has been debated whether quantum mechanics and special relativity are incompatible and whether there is a preferred Lorentz frame if they are incompatible. Bell’s theorem is an important cornerstone, but it does not give us a definite positive answer due to the existence of supplementary assumptions or…[Read more]

Wayne C. Myrvold started the topic Ontology for Collapse Theories in the forum
2017 International Workshop: Collapse of the Wave Function 7 years, 2 months agoIn this chapter, I will discuss what it takes for a dynamical collapse theory to provide a reasonable description of the actual world. I will start with discussions of what is required, in general, of the ontology of a physical theory, and then apply it to the quantum case. One issue of interest is whether a collapse theory can be a quantum state…[Read more]

Ilja Schmelzer replied to the topic Three arguments for the reality of wave-function collapse in the forum
2017 International Workshop: Collapse of the Wave Function 7 years, 2 months agoDear Shan,
I would object to your claim (paper) about a problem of dBB with the Born rule. The point is that it is not the relative positions of the Bohm particles which matters, but their absolute positions.
Of course, what humans perceive as a measurement result would have to be, in principle, relative. But simply including the positions…[Read more]

Michael Devereux started the topic Reduction of the atomic wavefunction within the Stern-Gerlach magnetic field in the forum
2017 International Workshop: Collapse of the Wave Function 7 years, 3 months agoReduction of the atomic wavefunction within the Stern-Gerlach magnetic field.
Michael Devereux (Los Alamos National Lavoratory, retired)
It’s easy to show that the quantum wavefunction of an atom traversing a Stern-Gerlach magnet is immediately reduced to a single spin-direction eigenfunction when a magnetic field quantum is transferred to t…[Read more]

Robert Griffiths replied to the topic Three arguments for the reality of wave-function collapse in the forum
2017 International Workshop: Collapse of the Wave Function 7 years, 4 months ago5 June 2017
Dear Shan,
First me suggest you take a look at my contribution to this workshop under the heading of “Wavefunction Collapse Not Needed”, as then some of the following comments will make more sense. In particular, note the representation of physical properties by means of Hilbert subspaces or the corresponding projectors. This idea…[Read more]
