Thermodynamic Limit for Polydisperse Fluids
S. Banerjee, R. B. Griffiths, M. Widom
We examine the thermodynamic limit of fluids of hard core particles that are polydisperse in size and shape. In addition, particles may interact magnetically. Free energy of such s…
Consistent Quantum Realism: A Reply to Bassi and Ghirardi
Robert B. Griffiths
A recent claim by Bassi and Ghirardi that the consistent (decoherent) histories approach cannot provide a realistic interpretation of quantum theory is shown to be based upon a mis…
Optimal Eavesdropping in Quantum Cryptography. I
Christopher A. Fuchs, Nicolas Gisin, Robert B. Griffiths +2
We consider the Bennett-Brassard cryptographic scheme, which uses two conjugate quantum bases. An eavesdropper who attempts to obtain information on qubits sent in one of the bases…
Consistent Quantum Reasoning
Robert B. Griffiths
Precise rules are developed in order to formalize the reasoning processes involved in standard non-relativistic quantum mechanics, with the help of analogies from classical physics…
Review of R. Omnes, THE INTERPRETATION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS
Robert B. Griffiths
Omnes' interpretation of quantum mechanics is summarized, and compared with other consistent-history approaches by Gell-Mann and Hartle, and by Griffiths.
