Born rule and Schrödinger equation from first principles
Robert Oeckl
A concise review of the derivation of the Born rule and Schrödinger equation from first principles is provided. The starting point is a formalization of fundamental notions of meas…
A local and operational framework for the foundations of physics
Robert Oeckl
We discuss a novel framework for physical theories that is based on the principles of locality and operationalism. It generalizes and unifies previous frameworks, including the sta…
A first-principles approach to physics based on locality and operationalism
Robert Oeckl
Starting from the guiding principles of spacetime locality and operationalism, a general framework for a probabilistic description of nature is proposed. Crucially, no notion of ti…
A positive formalism for quantum theory in the general boundary formulation
Robert Oeckl
We introduce a new "positive formalism" for encoding quantum theories in the general boundary formulation, somewhat analogous to the mixed state formalism of the standard formulati…
Reverse Engineering Quantum Field Theory
Robert Oeckl
An approach to the foundations of quantum theory is advertised that proceeds by "reverse engineering" quantum field theory. As a concrete instance of this approach, the general bou…
