About the Book

Quantum theory underpins much of modern physics and its implications draw the attention of industry, academia and public funding agencies. However there are many unsettled conceptual and philosophical problems in the interpretation of quantum mechanics which are a matter of extensive debate. These hotly debated topics include the meaning of the wave function, the nature of the quantum objects, the role of the observer, the non-locality of the quantum world, and the emergence of classicality from the quantum domain. Containing chapters written by eminent researchers from the fields of physics and philosophy, this book provides interdisciplinary, comprehensive and up-to-date perspectives of the problems related to the interpretation of quantum theory. It is ideal for academic researchers in physics and philosophy working on the ontology of quantum mechanics.

Table of Contents:

The Modal-Hamiltonian interpretation: measurement, invariance and ontology Olimpia Lombardi; 3. Quantum mechanics and perspectivalism Dennis Dieks; 4. Quantum physics grounded on Bohmian mechanics Nino Zanghi; 5. Ontology of the wave function and the many-worlds interpretation Lev Vaidman; 6. Generalized contexts for quantum histories Marcelo Losada, Leonardo Vanni and Roberto Laura; Part II. Realism, Wavefunction and Primitive Ontology: 7. What is the quantum face of realism? James Ladyman; 8. To be a realist about quantum theory Hans Halvorson; 9. Locality and wave function realism Alyssa Ney; Part III. Individuality, Distinguishability and Locality: 10.
