Relativistic Constraints on Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
Wayne C. Myrvold
This chapter, from the Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Physics (Eleanor Knox and Alastair Wilson, eds., 2021), is an overview of the constraints that relativity places on…
Shakin' All Over: Proving Landauer's Principle without neglect of fluctuations
Wayne C. Myrvold
Landauer's principle is, roughly, the principle that there is an entropic cost associated with implementation of logically irreversible operations. Though widely accepted in the li…
The Science of
Wayne C. Myrvold
There is a long tradition of thinking of thermodynamics, not as a theory of fundamental physics (or even a candidate theory of fundamental physics), but as a theory of how manipula…
Subjectivists about Quantum Probabilities Should be Realists about Quantum States
Wayne C. Myrvold
There is a significant body of literature, which includes Itamar Pitowksy's "Betting on Outcomes of Measurements," that sheds light on the structure of quantum mechanics, and the w…
On the Status of Quantum State Realism
Wayne C. Myrvold
I argue that we have good reason for being realist about quantum states. Though a research programme of attempting to construct a plausible theory that accounts for quantum phenome…
A -Ontology Result without the Cartesian Product Assumption
Wayne C. Myrvold
We introduce a weakening of the Preparation Independence Postulate of Pusey, Barrett, and Rudolph that does not presuppose that the space of ontic states resulting from a product s…
