Alain Aspect's experiments on Bell's theorem: A turning point in the history of the research on the foundations of quantum mechanics
Olival Freire Junior
Alain Aspect's three experiments on Bell's theorem, published in the early 1980s, were a turning point in the history of the research on the foundations of quantum mechanics not on…
The Tausk Controversy in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: Politics, Mentorship and a Dissenter's Disappearance
Osvaldo Pessoa, Olival Freire, Alexis De Greiff
In 1966, the Brazilian physicist Klaus Tausk circulated a preprint from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, in Trieste, criticizing the theory put forward by Daneri,…
Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy in the Research on the Foundations of Quantum Physics: E. P. Wigner's Case
Olival Freire
Dealing with Eugene Wigner's ideas on the measurement procedure in quantum physics and unearthing the controversy that pitted him against supporters of the interpretation of comple…
Science and exile: David Bohm, the hot times of the Cold War, and his struggle for a new interpretation of quantum mechanics
Olival Freire
This article focuses on the reception among physicists of Bohm's 1952 papers on the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, which were poorly received at the time. I describe h…
Philosophy Enters the Optics Laboratory: Bell's Theorem and its First Experimental Tests (1965-1982)
Olival Freire
This paper deals with the ways that the issue of completing quantum mechanics was brought into laboratories and became a topic in mainstream quantum optics. It focuses on the perio…
