A sideways look at faithfulness for quantum correlations
Peter W. Evans
Despite attempts to apply the lessons of causal modelling to the observed correlations typical of entangled bipartite quantum systems, Wood and Spekkens argue that any causal model…
On the Limits of Experimental Knowledge
Peter W. Evans, Karim P. Y. Thébault
To demarcate the limits of experimental knowledge we probe the limits of what might be called an experiment. By appeal to examples of scientific practice from astrophysics and anal…
What can bouncing oil droplets tell us about quantum mechanics?
Peter W. Evans, Karim P. Y. Thèbault
A recent series of experiments have demonstrated that a classical fluid mechanical system, constituted by an oil droplet bouncing on a vibrating fluid surface, can be induced to di…
Do Reichenbachian Common Cause Systems of Arbitrary Finite Size Exist?
Claudio Mazzola, Peter Evans
The principle of common cause asserts that positive correlations between causally unrelated events ought to be explained through the action of some shared causal factors. Reichenba…
-Epistemic Quantum Cosmology?
Peter W. Evans, Sean Gryb, Karim P. Y. Thébault
This paper provides a prospectus for a new way of thinking about the wavefunction of the universe: a -epistemic quantum cosmology. We present a proposal that, if successfully im…
Quantum causal models, faithfulness and retrocausality
Peter W. Evans
Wood and Spekkens (2015) argue that any causal model explaining the EPRB correlations and satisfying no-signalling must also violate the assumption that the model faithfully reprod…
Causal Symmetry and the Transactional Interpretation
Peter W. Evans
Cramer's (1986) transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics posits retrocausal influences in quantum processes in an attempt to alleviate some of the interpretational difficu…
Relativistic Constraints for a Naturalistic Metaphysics of Time
Peter W. Evans
The traditional metaphysical debate between static and dynamic views in the philosophy of time is examined in light of considerations concerning the nature of time in physical theo…
New Slant on the EPR-Bell Experiment
Peter Evans, Huw Price, K. B. Wharton
The best case for thinking that quantum mechanics is nonlocal rests on Bell's Theorem, and later results of the same kind. However, the correlations characteristic of EPR-Bell (EPR…
