Understanding Quantum Theory: An Operational Reconstructive Approach
Philip Goyal
One hundred years after the creation of quantum theory, there is no consensus on the kind of reality that is described by the theory. Here, I attribute the lack of progress to the…
From Complementarity to Quantum Properties: An Operational Reconstructive Approach
Philip Goyal
Quantum theory brings into question the compatibility of the twin desiderata of exact knowability of the present state of the physical world and perfect predictability of its futur…
Identical Quantum Particles as Potential Parts
Philip Goyal
The mathematical rules used to handle systems of identical quantum particles bring into question whether the elementary constituents of matter, such as electrons, have the fundamen…
Systematizing the Interpretation of Quantum Theory via Reconstruction
Philip Goyal
For a century, quantum theory has posed a fundamental challenge to philosophical thinking. On its face, it repudiates many of the key features of the mechanical conception of physi…
Operational reconstruction of Feynman rules for quantum amplitudes via composition algebras
Jens Köplinger, Michael Habeck, Philip Goyal
This article explores an operational model for transition amplitudes between measurements proposed by Goyal et al. within the quantum reconstruction program. To classify suitable a…
The Structure of Quantum Questions
Yang Yu, Philip Goyal
In classical physics, a single measurement can in principle reveal the state of a system. However, quantum theory permits numerous non-equivalent measurements on a physical system,…
