[HTML][HTML] Identity and individuality in quantum theory

S French, T Bigaj - 2000 - plato.stanford.edu
What are the metaphysical implications of quantum physics? One way of approaching this
question is to consider the impact of the theory on our understanding of objects as …

On identity, indiscernibility and (non-) individuality in the quantum domain

D Krause - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The topics of identity, individuality and indiscernibility had already entered the domain of the
philosophy of physics, mainly in what respects the philosophy of quantum theories. In this …

The received view on quantum non-individuality: formal and metaphysical analysis

JRB Arenhart - Synthese, 2017 - Springer
Abstract The Received View on quantum non-individuality (RV) is, roughly speaking, the
view according to which quantum objects are not individuals. It seems clear that the RV finds …

Quantum mechanics and metaphysical indeterminacy

G Darby - Australasian Journal of Philosophy, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
There has been recent interest in formulating theories of non-representational
indeterminacy. The aim of this paper is to clarify the relevance of quantum mechanics to this …

[图书][B] The logical foundations of scientific theories: Languages, structures, and models

D Krause, JRB Arenhart - 2016 - taylorfrancis.com
This book addresses the logical aspects of the foundations of scientific theories. Even
though the relevance of formal methods in the study of scientific theories is now widely …

Identity, individuality and indistinguishability in physics and mathematics

G Catren - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In this brief survey, we discuss some of the scientific and philosophical problems and
debates that underlie the notions of identity, individuality and indistinguishability in physics …

Remarks on the theory of quasi-sets

S French, D Krause - Studia Logica, 2010 - Springer
Quasi-set theory has been proposed as a means of handling collections of indiscernible
objects. Although the most direct application of the theory is quantum physics, it can be seen …

Structural realism and the nature of structure

JRB Arenhart, O Bueno - European Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2015 - Springer
Abstract Ontic Structural Realism is a version of realism about science according to which by
positing the existence of structures, understood as basic components of reality, one can …

Is identity really so fundamental?

D Krause, JRB Arenhart - Foundations of Science, 2019 - Springer
We critically examine the claim that identity is a fundamental concept. According to those
putting forward this thesis, there are four related reasons that can be called upon to ground …

Indistinguishability and negative probabilities

JA de Barros, F Holik - Entropy, 2020 - mdpi.com
In this paper, we examined the connection between quantum systems' indistinguishability
and signed (or negative) probabilities. We do so by first introducing a measure-theoretic …
