The Evolution of the Bell Notion of Beable: from Bohr to Primitive Ontology
Federico Laudisa
John S. Bell introduced the notion of beable, as opposed to the standard notion of observable, in order to emphasize the need for an unambiguous formulation of quantum mechanics. I…
The Information-Theoretic View of Quantum Mechanics and the Measurement Problem(s)
Federico Laudisa
Until recently Jeffrey Bub and Itamar Pitowsky, in the framework of an information theoretic view of quantum mechanics, claimed first that to the measurement problem in its ordinar…
Open Problems in Relational Quantum Mechanics
Federico Laudisa
The Rovelli relational interpretation of quantum mechanics (RQM) is based on the assumption according to which the notion of observer-independent state of a physical system is to b…
Counterfactual Reasoning, Realism and Quantum Mechanics: Much Ado About Nothing?
Federico Laudisa
I purport to show why old and new claims on the role of counterfactual reasoning for the EPR argument and the Bell theorem are unjustified: once the logical relation between locali…
Stop making sense of Bell's theorem and nonlocality? A reply to Stephen Boughn
Federico Laudisa
In a recent paper [arXiv:1703.11003] on this journal Stephen Boughn argued that quantum mechanics does not require nonlocality of any kind and that the common interpretation of Bel…
Realism and instrumentalism about the wave function. How should we choose?
Mauro Dorato, Federico Laudisa
The main claim of the paper is that one can be 'realist' (in some sense) about quantum mechanics without requiring any form of realism about the wave function. We begin by discussi…
Against the No-Go Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics
Federico Laudisa
In the area of the foundations of quantum mechanics a true industry appears to have developed in the last decades, with the aim of proving as many results as possible concerning wh…
Non-local Realistic Theories and the Scope of the Bell Theorem
Federico Laudisa
According to a widespread view, the Bell theorem establishes the untenability of so-called 'local realism'. On the basis of this view, recent proposals by Leggett, Zeilinger and ot…
Non-Locality and Theories of Causation
Federico Laudisa
The aim of the paper is to investigate the characterization of an unambiguous notion of causation linking single space-llike separated events in EPR-Bell frameworks. This issue is…
The EPR Argument in a Relational Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Federico Laudisa
It is shown that in the Rovelli relational interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the notion of absolute or observer independent state is rejected, the conclusion of the ord…
