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…
