On the Relative Nature of Quantum Individuals
Christian de Ronde, Raimundo Fernández Mouján, César Massri
In this work we argue against the interpretation that underlies the "Standard" account of Quantum Mechanics (SQM) that was established during the 1930s by Niels Bohr and Paul Dirac…
Everything is Entangled in Quantum Mechanics: Are the Orthodox Measures Physically Meaningful?
Christian de Ronde, Raimundo Fernandez Moujan, Cesar Massri
Even though quantum entanglement is today's most essential concept within the new technological era of quantum information processing, we do not only lack a consistent definition o…
Equivalence Relations in Quantum Theory: An Objective Account of Bases and Factorizations
Christian de Ronde, Raimundo Fernandez Moujan, Cesar Massri
In orthodox Standard Quantum Mechanics (SQM) bases and factorizations are considered to define quantum states and entanglement in relativistic terms. While the choice of a basis (i…
Bohr's Anti-Realist Realism in Contemporary (Quantum) Physics and Philosophy
Christian de Ronde
We discuss the influential role of Niels Bohr's work in the anti-realist realist re-foundation of physics that took place during the 20th century. We will focus in how, developing…
The Many Inconsistencies of the Purity-Mixture Distinction in Standard Quantum Mechanics
Christian de Ronde, César Massri
The distinction between pure states and mixed states is a kernel ingredient of what is considered to be the standard formulation of quantum mechanics and plays today a kernel role…
Mythical Thought in Bohr's Anti-Realist Realism (Or: Lessons on How to Capture and Defeat Smoky Dragons)
Christian de Ronde
In this work we argue that the power and effectiveness of the Bohrian approach to quantum mechanics is essentially grounded on an inconsistent form of anti-realist realism which su…
The Logos Categorical Approach to QM: II. Quantum Superpositions
Christian de Ronde, César Massri
In this paper we attempt to consider quantum superpositions from the perspective of the logos categorical approach presented in [26]. We will argue that our approach allows us not…
The Logos Categorical Approach to Quantum Mechanics: I. Kochen-Specker Contextuality and Global Intensive Valuations
Christian de Ronde, César Massri
In this paper we present a new categorical approach which attempts to provide an original understanding of QM. Our logos categorical approach attempts to consider the main features…
Revisiting the Applicability of Metaphysical Identity in Quantum Mechanics
Newton da Costa, Christian de Ronde
We discuss the hypothesis that the debate about the interpretation of the orthodox formalism of quantum mechanics (QM) might have been misguided right from the start by a biased me…
QBism, FAPP and the Quantum Omelette. (Or, Unscrambling Ontological Problems from Epistemological Solutions in QM)
Christian de Ronde
In this paper we discuss the so called "quantum omelette" created by Bohr and Heisenberg through the mix of (ontic) objective accounts and (epistemic) subjective ones within the an…
Unscrambling the Omelette of Quantum Contextuality (PART 1): Preexistent Properties or Measurement Outcomes?
Christian de Ronde
In this paper we attempt to analyze the physical and philosophical meaning of quantum contextuality. We will argue that there exists a general confusion within the foundational lit…
Quantum Superpositions and the Representation of Physical Reality Beyond Measurement Outcomes and Mathematical Structures
Christian de Ronde
In this paper we intend to discuss the importance of providing a physical representation of quantum superpositions which goes beyond the mere reference to mathematical structures a…
Representational Realism, Closed Theories and the Quantum to Classical Limit
Christian de Ronde
In this paper we discuss the representational realist stance as a pluralist ontic approach to inter-theoretic relationships. Our stance stresses the fact that physical theories req…
Probabilistic Knowledge as Objective Knowledge in Quantum Mechanics: Potential Powers Instead of Actual Properties
Christian de Ronde
In classical physics, probabilistic or statistical knowledge has been always related to ignorance or inaccurate subjective knowledge about an actual state of affairs. This idea has…
Hilbert Space Quantum Mechanics is Contextual (Reply to R. B. Griffiths)
Christian de Ronde
In a recent paper Griffiths [38] has argued, based on the consistent histories interpretation, that Hilbert space quantum mechanics (QM) is noncontextual. According to Griffiths th…
Epistemological and Ontological Paraconsistency in Quantum Mechanics: For and Against Bohrian Philosophy
Christian de Ronde
We interpret the philosophy of Niels Bohr as related to the so called "linguistic turn" and consider paraconsistency in the light of the Bohrian notion of complementarity. Followin…
Physical properties as modal operators in the topos approach to quantum mechanics
Hector Freytes, Graciela Domenech, Christian de Ronde
In the framework of the topos approach to quantum mechanics we give a representation of physical properties in terms of modal operators on Heyting algebras. It allows us to introdu…
Kochen-Specker Theorem, Physical Invariance and Quantum Individuality
Christian de Ronde, Cesar Massri
In this paper we attempt to discuss what has Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem to say about physical invariance and quantum individuality. In particular, we will discuss the impossibilit…
Quantum mechanics and the interpretation of the orthomodular square of opposition
Christian de Ronde, Hector Freytes, G. Domenech
In this paper we analyze and discuss the historical and philosophical development of the notion of logical possibility focusing on its specific meaning in classical and quantum mec…
The square of opposition in orthomodular logic
Hector Freytes, Christian de Ronde, Graciela Domenech
In Aristotelian logic, categorical propositions are divided in Universal Affirmative, Universal Negative, Particular Affirmative and Particular Negative. Possible relations between…
Interpreting the modal Kochen-Specker theorem: possibility and many worlds in quantum mechanics
Christian de Ronde, Hector Freytes, Graciela Domenech
In this paper we attempt to physically interpret the Modal Kochen- Specker (MKS) theorem. In order to do so, we analyze the features of the possible properties of quantum systems a…
A Defense of the Paraconsistent Approach to Quantum Superpositions (Answer to Arenhart and Krause)
Christian de Ronde
In (da Costa and de Ronde, 2014), Newton da Costa together with the author of this paper argued in favor of the possibility to consider quantum superpositions in terms of a paracon…
Two-valued states on Baer -semigroups
Hector Freytes, Graciela Domenech, Christian de Ronde
In this paper we develop an algebraic framework that allows us to extend families of two-valued states on orthomodular lattices to Baer -semigroups. We apply this general appro…
Representing Quantum Superpositions: Powers, Potentia and Potential Effectuations
Christian de Ronde
In this paper we attempt to provide a physical representation of quantum superpositions. For this purpose we discuss the constraints of the quantum formalism to the notion of possi…
