Quantum Superpositions of Conscious States in a Minimal Integrated Information Model
Kelvin J. McQueen, Ian T. Durham, Markus P. Mueller
Could there be quantum superpositions of conscious states, as suggested by the Wigner's friend thought experiment? Mathematical theories of consciousness, notably Integrated Inform…
The Generative Programs Framework
Mordecai Waegell, Kelvin J. McQueen, Emily C. Adlam
Recently there has been significant interest in using causal modelling techniques to understand the structure of physical theories. However, the notion of `causation' is limiting -…
Have underground radiation measurements refuted the Orch OR theory?
Kelvin J McQueen
In [1] it is claimed that, based on radiation emission measurements described in [2], a certain "variant" of the Orch OR theory has been refuted. I agree with this claim. However,…
How the Many Worlds Interpretation brings Common Sense to Paradoxical Quantum Experiments
Kelvin J. McQueen, Lev Vaidman
The many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics (MWI) states that the world we live in is just one among many parallel worlds. It is widely believed that because of this commit…
Consciousness and the Collapse of the Wave Function
David J. Chalmers, Kelvin J. McQueen
Does consciousness collapse the quantum wave function? This idea was taken seriously by John von Neumann and Eugene Wigner but is now widely dismissed. We develop the idea by combi…
Reformulating Bell's Theorem: The Search for a Truly Local Quantum Theory
Mordecai Waegell, Kelvin J. McQueen
The apparent nonlocality of quantum theory has been a persistent concern. Einstein et. al. (1935) and Bell (1964) emphasized the apparent nonlocality arising from entanglement corr…
Is QBism the Future of Quantum Physics?
Kelvin J. McQueen
The purpose of this book is to explain Quantum Bayesianism ('QBism') to "people without easy access to mathematical formulas and equations" (4-5). Qbism is an interpretation of qua…
Mass Additivity and A Priori Entailment
Kelvin J. McQueen
The principle of mass additivity states that the mass of a composite object is the sum of the masses of its elementary components. Mass additivity is true in Newtonian mechanics bu…
Four Tails Problems for Dynamical Collapse Theories
Kelvin J. McQueen
The primary quantum mechanical equation of motion entails that measurements typically do not have determinate outcomes, but result in superpositions of all possible outcomes. Dynam…
