Characterizing quantum theory in terms of information-theoretic constraints

Rob Clifton, Jeffrey Bub, Hans Halvorson

We show that three fundamental information-theoretic constraints--the impossibility of superluminal information transfer between two physical systems by performing measurements on…

Reconsidering Bohr's reply to EPR

Hans Halvorson, Rob Clifton

Although Bohr's reply to the EPR argument is supposed to be a watershed moment in the development of his philosophy of quantum theory, it is difficult to find a clear statement of…

Are Rindler Quanta Real? Inequivalent particle concepts in quantum field theory

Rob Clifton, Hans Halvorson

Philosophical reflection on quantum field theory has tended to focus on how it revises our conception of what a particle is. However, there has been relatively little discussion of…

Entanglement and Open Systems in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory

Rob Clifton, Hans Halvorson

Entanglement has long been the subject of discussion by philosophers of quantum theory, and has recently come to play an essential role for physicists in their development of quant…

Revised Proof of the Uniqueness Theorem for 'No Collapse' Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

Jeffrey Bub, Rob Clifton, Sheldon Goldstein

We show that the Bub-Clifton uniqueness theorem for 'no collapse' interpretations of quantum mechanics (Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics 27, 181-219 (1996))…

Counting Marbles with 'Accessible' Mass Density: A Reply to Bassi and Ghirardi

Rob Clifton, Bradley Monton

In a previous article (cf. quant-ph/9905065) we argued that, while Lewis is correct that the enumeration principle fails in dynamical wavepacket reduction theories, one need not fo…
