Quantum Reconstruction and Phenomenology per the Relativity Principle
W. M. Stuckey, Timothy McDevitt
We use the relativity principle to complete axiomatic reconstructions of quantum mechanics (QM) via information-theoretic principles that are based on Darrigol's "discreteness" req…
Review of "Just Plain Wrong: The Dalliance of Quantum Theory with the Defiance of Bell's Inequality"
W. M. Stuckey, Timothy McDevitt, Michael Silberstein
This is a review of Frank Lad's book "Just Plain Wrong: The Dalliance of Quantum Theory with the Defiance of Bell's Inequality" (Austin Macauley Publishers, 2024).
Completing the Quantum Reconstruction Program via the Relativity Principle
W. M. Stuckey, Michael Silberstein, Timothy McDevitt
We explain how the disparate kinematics of quantum mechanics (finite-dimensional Hilbert space of QM) and special relativity (Minkowski spacetime from the Lorentz transformations o…
"Mysteries" of Modern Physics and the Fundamental Constants , , and
W. M. Stuckey, Timothy McDevitt, Michael Silberstein
We review how the kinematic structures of special relativity and quantum mechanics both stem from the relativity principle, i.e., "no preferred reference frame" (NPRF). Essentially…
The Relativity Principle at the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics
W. M. Stuckey, Timothy McDevitt, Michael Silberstein
Quantum information theorists have created axiomatic reconstructions of quantum mechanics (QM) that are very successful at identifying precisely what distinguishes quantum probabil…
Why the Tsirelson Bound? Bub's Question and Fuchs' Desideratum
W. M. Stuckey, Michael Silberstein, Timothy McDevitt +1
To answer Wheeler's question "Why the quantum?" via quantum information theory according to Bub, one must explain both why the world is quantum rather than classical and why the wo…
Concerning Quadratic Interaction in the Quantum Cheshire Cat Experiment
W. M. Stuckey, Michael Silberstein, Timothy McDevitt
In a July 2014 Nature Communications paper, Denkmayr et al. claim to have instantiated the so-called quantum Cheshire Cat experiment using neutron interferometry. Crucial to this c…
Being, Becoming and the Undivided Universe: A Dialogue between Relational Blockworld and the Implicate Order Concerning the Unification of Relativity and Quantum Theory
Michael Silberstein, W. M. Stuckey, Timothy McDevitt
In this paper two different approaches to unification will be compared, Relational Blockworld (RBW) and Hiley's implicate order. Both approaches are monistic in that they attempt t…
Gauge Invariance from a Graphical Self-Consistency Criterion
W. M. Stuckey, Timothy McDevitt, Michael Silberstein
We propose that quantum physics is the continuous approximation of a more fundamental, discrete graph theory (theory X). Accordingly, the Euclidean transition amplitude Z provides…
An Adynamical, Graphical Approach to Quantum Gravity and Unification
W. M. Stuckey, Michael Silberstein, Timothy McDevitt
We use graphical field gradients in an adynamical, background independent fashion to propose a new approach to quantum gravity and unification. Our proposed reconciliation of gener…
Relational Blockworld: Towards a Discrete Graph Theoretic Foundation of Quantum Mechanics
W. M. Stuckey, Timothy McDevitt, Michael Silberstein
We propose a discrete path integral formalism over graphs fundamental to quantum mechanics (QM) based on our interpretation of QM called Relational Blockworld (RBW). In our approac…
