Heating the coffee by looking at it. Or why quantum measurements are physical processes
Pablo Echenique-Robba
Using a very simple Gedankenexperiment, I remind the reader that (contrary to what happens in classical mechanics) the energy of a quantum system is inevitably increased just by pe…
The relevance of ontological commitments
Pablo Echenique-Robba
In this introductory note, I describe my particular view of the notion of ontological commitments as honest and pragmatic working hypotheses that assume the existence (out there) o…
Some lessons for us scientists (too) from the "Sokal affair"
Pablo Echenique-Robba
In this little non-technical piece, I argue that some of the lessons that can be learnt from the bold action carried out in 1996 by the physicist Alan Sokal and typically known as…
Reducing the standard deviation in multiple-assay experiments where the variation matters but the absolute value does not
Pablo Echenique-Robba, María Alejandra Nelo-Bazán, José A. Carrodeguas
You measure the value of a quantity x for a number of systems (cells, molecules, people, chunks of metal, DNA vectors, etc.). You repeat the whole set of measures in different occa…
Shut up and let me think. Or why you should work on the foundations of quantum mechanics as much as you please
Pablo Echenique-Robba
If you have a restless intellect, it is very likely that you have played at some point with the idea of investigating the meaning and conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. I…
Comment on "Correlated electron-nuclear dynamics: Exact factorization of the molecular wavefunction" [J. Chem. Phys. 137, 22A530 (2012)]
J. L. Alonso, J. Clemente-Gallardo, P. Echenique-Robba +1
In spite of the relevance of the proposal introduced in the recent work A. Abedi, N. T. Maitra and E. K. U. Gross, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 22A530, 2012, there is an important ingredien…
