Quantum Measurement without Ontology
Richard Healey
Measurement is an important scientific activity. In most of science, including classical physics, is may be understood as a way of finding out about the physical world and represen…
A Pragmatist Understanding of Quantum Mechanics
Richard Healey
Applications of quantum mechanics have led to many successful predictions and explanations of puzzling phenomena, and we now apply quantum mechanics to gain, process, and communica…
Perspectives in and on Quantum Theory
Richard Healey
I take a pragmatist perspective on quantum theory. This is not a view of the world described by quantum theory. In this view quantum theory itself does not describe the physical wo…
Securing the Objectivity of Relative Facts in the Quantum World
Richard Healey
This paper compares and contrasts relational quantum mechanics (RQM) with a pragmatist view of quantum theory (DP). I'll first explain important points of agreement. Then I'll poin…
Scientific Objectivity and its Limits
Richard Healey
Measurement outcomes provide data for a physical theory. Unless they are objective they support no objective scientific knowledge. So the outcome of a quantum measurement must be a…
Reply to a comment on "Quantum theory and the limits of objectivity"
Richard Healey
In this short note I reply to criticisms of an argument in my paper [1] that appear in comment [2]. I refer the reader to section 4 of [1] in which I described the scenario of a Ge…
