Collapse or no collapse? What is the best ontology of quantum mechanics in the primitive ontology framework?
Michael Esfeld
Recalling the state of the art in the interpretation of quantum physics, this paper emphasizes that one cannot simply add a collapse parameter to the Schrödinger equation in order…
Primitive ontology and quantum state in the GRW matter density theory
Matthias Egg, Michael Esfeld
The paper explains in what sense the GRW matter density theory (GRWm) is a primitive ontology theory of quantum mechanics and why, thus conceived, the standard objections against t…
How to account for quantum non-locality: ontic structural realism and the primitive ontology of quantum physics
Michael Esfeld
The paper has two aims: (1) it sets out to show that it is well motivated to seek for an account of quantum non-locality in the framework of ontic structural realism (OSR), which i…
The primitive ontology of quantum physics: guidelines for an assessment of the proposals
Michael Esfeld
The paper seeks to make progress from stating primitive ontology theories of quantum physics, notably Bohmian mechanics, the GRW matter density theory and the GRW flash theory, to…
