Directly computing Wigner functions for open quantum systems
Nick Huggett, Christian Käding, Mario Pitschmann +1
The Wigner function is a well-known phase space distribution function with many applications in quantum mechanics. In this article, we consider an open quantum system consisting of…
On the Quantum Theory of Molecules: Rigour, Idealization, and Uncertainty
Nick Huggett, James Ladyman, Karim P. Y. Thébault
Philosophers have claimed that: (a) Born-Oppenheimer approximation methods for solving molecular Schrödinger equations violate the Heisenberg uncertainty relations; therefore, (b)…
Everettian Branching in the World and of the World
Nadia Blackshaw, Nick Huggett, James Ladyman
This paper investigates the formation and propagation of wavefunction `branches' through the process of entanglement with the environment. While this process is a consequence of un…
Finding Time for Wheeler-DeWitt Cosmology
Nick Huggett, Karim P. Y. Thébault
We conduct a case study analysis of a proposal for the emergence of time based upon the approximate derivation of three grades of temporal structure within an explicit quantum cosm…
