Observability, Unobservability and the Copenhagen Interpretation in Dirac's Methodology of Physics
Andrea Oldofredi, Michael Esfeld
Paul A. M. Dirac has been undoubtedly one of the central figures of the last century physics, contributing in several and remarkable ways to the development of Quantum Mechanics (Q…
From the measurement problem to the primitive ontology programme
Michael Esfeld
The paper retraces the development from the measurement problem to the primitive ontology programme. It assesses the contribution of the GRW theory to this programme and discusses…
Against the disappearance of spacetime in quantum gravity
Michael Esfeld
This paper argues against the proposal to draw from current research into a physical theory of quantum gravity the ontological conclusion that spacetime or spatiotemporal relations…
Why determinism in physics has no implications for free will
Michael Esfeld
This paper argues for the following three theses: (1) There is a clear reason to prefer physical theories with deterministic dynamical equations: such theories are maximally rich i…
Observables and unobservables in quantum mechanics: How the no-hidden-variables theorems support the Bohmian particle ontology
Dustin Lazarovici, Andrea Oldofredi, Michael A. Esfeld
The paper argues that far from challenging - or even refuting - Bohm's quantum theory, the no-hidden-variables theorems in fact support the Bohmian ontology for quantum mechanics.…
On the possibility of a realist ontological commitment in quantum mechanics
A. Oldofredi, M. A. Esfeld
This paper reviews the structure of standard quantum mechanics, introducing the basics of the von Neumann-Dirac axiomatic formulation as well as the well-known Copenhagen interpret…
