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…
Quantum Theory and the Limits of Objectivity
Richard A. Healey
Three recent arguments seek to show that the universal applicability of unitary quantum theory is inconsistent with the assumption that a well-conducted measurement always has a de…
Quantum decoherence in a pragmatist view: Resolving the measurement problem
Richard Healey
This paper aims to show how adoption of a pragmatist interpretation permits a satisfactory resolution of the quantum measurement problem. The classic measurement problem dissolves…
How to use quantum theory locally to explain "non-local" correlations
Richard Healey
J.S. Bell's work has convinced many that correlations in violation of CHSH inequalities show that the world itself is non-local, and that there is an apparently essential conflict…
Quantum decoherence in a pragmatist view: Part I
Richard Healey
The quantum theory of decoherence plays an important role in a pragmatist interpretation of quantum theory. It governs the descriptive content of claims about values of physical ma…
