Understanding quantum mechanics: a review and synthesis in precise language

B Drummond - Open Physics, 2019 - degruyter.com
This review, of the understanding of quantum mechanics, is broad in scope, and aims to
reflect enough of the literature to be representative of the current state of the subject. To …

Ontological indistinguishability as a central tenet of quantum theory

JA de Barros, F Holik - Philosophical Transactions of the …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Quantum indistinguishability directly relates to the philosophical debate on the notions of
identity and individuality. They are crucial for our understanding of multipartite quantum …

Non-Kolmogorovian probabilities and quantum technologies

FH Holik - Entropy, 2022 - mdpi.com
In this work, we focus on the philosophical aspects and technical challenges that underlie
the axiomatization of the non-Kolmogorovian probability framework, in connection with the …

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 …

Non-deterministic semantics for quantum states

JP Jorge, F Holik - Entropy, 2020 - mdpi.com
In this work, we discuss the failure of the principle of truth functionality in the quantum
formalism. By exploiting this failure, we import the formalism of N-matrix theory and non …

Social laser model for the Bandwagon effect: generation of coherent information waves

A Khrennikov - Entropy, 2020 - mdpi.com
During recent years our society has often been exposed to coherent information waves of
high amplitudes. These are waves of huge social energy. Often they are of destructive …

Indistinguishability right from the start in standard quantum mechanics

F Holik, JP Jorge, C Massri - arXiv preprint arXiv:2011.10903, 2020 - arxiv.org
We discuss a reconstruction of standard quantum mechanics assuming indistinguishability
right from the start, by appealing to quasi-set theory. After recalling the fundamental aspects …

Indistinguishability and the origins of contextuality in physics

JA de Barros, F Holik, D Krause - … Transactions of the …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In this work, we discuss a formal way of dealing with the properties of contextual systems.
Our approach is to assume that properties describing the same physical quantity, but …

The elimination of metaphysics through the epistemological analysis: lessons (un) learned from metaphysical underdetermination

RW ARROYO, JRB ARENHART… - Probing the Meaning of …, 2024 - World Scientific
This chapter argues that the general philosophy of science should learn metaphilosophical
lessons from the case of metaphysical underdetermination, as it occurs in non-relativistic …

On a contextual model refuting Bell's theorem

E Muchowski - Europhysics Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Bell's theorem is refuted by presenting a counterexample that correctly predicts the
expectation values of QM. As Bell only ruled out non-contextual models, a contextual model …
