Quantum Haecceity
Ruth E. Kastner
There is an extensive philosophical literature on the interrelated issues of identity, individuality, and distinguishability in quantum systems. A key consideration is whether quan…
Is There Really "Retrocausation" in Time-Symmetric Approaches to Quantum Mechanics?
R. E. Kastner
Time-symmetric interpretations of quantum theory are often presented as featuring "retrocausal" effects in addition to the usual forward notion of causation. This paper examines th…
de Broglie waves as the "Bridge of Becoming" between quantum theory and relativity
R. E. Kastner
It is hypothesized that de Broglie's 'matter waves' provide a dynamical basis for Minkowski spacetime in an antisubstantivalist or relational account. The relativity of simultaneit…
Better than "flashes": Transactions
R. E. Kastner
I discuss Gisin's result showing that sets of quantum-correlated spacelike events cannot be described by a covariant probability distribution over hidden variables, and his conclus…
