Comment on "The Free Will Theorem"
Roderich Tumulka
In a recent paper [quant-ph/0604079], Conway and Kochen claim to have established that theories of the GRW type, i.e., of spontaneous wave function collapse, cannot be made relativ…
Reduced coherence in double-slit diffraction of neutrons
R. Tumulka, A. Viale, N. Zanghi
In diffraction experiments with particle beams, several effects lead to a fringe visibility reduction of the interference pattern. We theoretically describe the intensity one can m…
The "Unromantic Pictures" of Quantum Theory
Roderich Tumulka
I am concerned with two views of quantum mechanics that John S. Bell called ``unromantic'': spontaneous wave function collapse and Bohmian mechanics. I discuss some of their merits…
Determinate Values for Quantum Observables
Roderich Tumulka
This is a comment on J. A. Barrett's article ``The Preferred-Basis Problem and the Quantum Mechanics of Everything'' in Brit. J. Phil. Sci. 56 (2005), which concerns theories postu…
The Message of the Quantum?
Martin Daumer, Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein +3
We criticize speculations to the effect that quantum mechanics is fundamentally about information. We do this by pointing out how unfounded such speculations in fact are. Our analy…
Collapse and Relativity
Roderich Tumulka
Ever since we have been in the possession of quantum theories without observers, such as Bohmian mechanics or the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) theory of spontaneous wave function co…
On the Common Structure of Bohmian Mechanics and the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber Theory
Valia Allori, Sheldon Goldstein, Roderich Tumulka +1
Bohmian mechanics and the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber theory provide opposite resolutions of the quantum measurement problem: the former postulates additional variables (the particle pos…
Topological Factors Derived From Bohmian Mechanics
Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, James Taylor +2
We derive for Bohmian mechanics topological factors for quantum systems with a multiply-connected configuration space Q. These include nonabelian factors corresponding to what we c…
