Can the ontology of Bohmian mechanics consists only in particles? The PBR theorem says no
Shan Gao
The meaning of the wave function is an important unresolved issue in Bohmian mechanics. On the one hand, according to the nomological view, the wave function of the universe or the…
A no-go result for QBism
Shan Gao
In QBism the wave function does not represent an element of physical reality external to the agent, but represent an agent's personal probability assignments, reflecting his subjec…
A puzzle for the field ontologists
Shan Gao
It has been widely thought that the wave function describes a real, physical field in a realist interpretation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, I present a new analysis of the…
The measurement problem revisited
Shan Gao
It has been realized that the measurement problem of quantum mechanics is essentially the determinate-experience problem, and in order to solve the problem, the physical state repr…
Protective Measurements and the Reality of the Wave Function
Shan Gao
It has been debated whether protective measurement implies the reality of the wave function. In this paper, I present a new analysis of the relationship between protective measurem…
The Meaning of the Wave Function: In Search of the Ontology of Quantum Mechanics
Shan Gao
The meaning of the wave function has been a hot topic of debate since the early days of quantum mechanics. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in this long-standing ques…
