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…
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…
Relativistically Invariant Markovian Dynamical Collapse Theories Must Employ Nonstandard Degrees of Freedom
Wayne C. Myrvold
The impossibility of an indeterministic evolution for standard relativistic quantum field theories, that is, theories in which all fields satisfy the condition that the generators…
On the Debate Concerning the Proper Characterisation of Quantum Dynamical Evolution
Michael E. Cuffaro, Wayne C. Myrvold
There has been a long-standing and sometimes passionate debate between physicists over whether a dynamical framework for quantum systems should incorporate not completely positive…
