How are Entanglement Entropies Related to Entropy Bounds?
Emily Adlam
In this paper we seek to understand what current knowledge of entanglement entropies suggests about the appropriate way to interpret the covariant entropy bound. We first begin by…
What Does '(Non)-Absoluteness of Observed Events' Mean?
Emily Adlam
Recently there have emerged an assortment of theorems relating to the 'absoluteness of emerged events,' and these results have sometimes been used to argue that quantum mechanics m…
Do We Have Any Viable Solution to the Measurement Problem?
Emily Adlam
Wallace (2022) has recently argued that a number of popular approaches to the measurement problem can't be fully extended to relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory…
Is There Causation in Fundamental Physics? New Insights from Process Matrices and Quantum Causal Modelling
Emily Adlam
In this article we set out to understand the significance of the process matrix formalism and the quantum causal modelling programme for ongoing disputes about the role of causatio…
Tabletop Experiments for Quantum Gravity Are Also Tests of the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Emily Adlam
Recently there has been a great deal of interest in tabletop experiments intended to exhibit the quantum nature of gravity by demonstrating that it can induce entanglement. We argu…
Watching the Clocks: Interpreting the Page-Wootters Formalism and the Internal Quantum Reference Frame Programme
Emily Adlam
We discuss some difficulties that arise in attempting to interpret the Page-Wootters and Internal Quantum Reference Frames formalisms, then use a 'final measurement' approach to de…
Does Science need Intersubjectivity? The Problem of Confirmation in Orthodox Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
Emily Adlam
Any successful interpretation of quantum mechanics must explain how our empirical evidence allows us to come to know about quantum mechanics. In this article, we argue that this vi…
Two Roads to Retrocausality
Emily Adlam
In recent years the quantum foundations community has seen increasing interest in the possibility of using retrocausality as a route to rejecting the conclusions of Bell's theorem…
Operational Theories as Structural Realism
Emily Adlam
We undertake a reconstruction of the epistemic significance of research on operational theories in quantum foundations. We suggest that the space of operational theories is analogo…
Contextuality, Fine-Tuning, and Teleological Explanation
Emily Adlam
I assess various proposals for the source of the intuition that there is something problematic about contextuality, ultimately concluding that contextuality is best thought of in t…
Determinism Beyond Time Evolution
Emily Adlam
Physicists are increasingly beginning to take seriously the possibility of laws outside the traditional time-evolution paradigm; yet our understanding of determinism is still predi…
Laws of Nature as Constraints
Emily Adlam
The laws of nature have come a long way since the time of Newton: quantum mechanics and relativity have given us good reasons to take seriously the possibility of laws which may be…
