Niels Bohr as a Physicist of Principle
Mauro Dorato, Jan Faye
Our main claim is that Bohr adopted a principle-theoretic approach to quantum mechanics in order to reconcile two principles: the distinction principle, which asserts the necessity…
Collapse Models: a theoretical, experimental and philosophical review
Angelo Bassi, Mauro Dorato, Hendrik Ulbricht
n this paper, we review and connect the three essential conditions needed by the collapse model to achieve a complete and exact formulation, namely the theoretical, the experimenta…
Bohr meets Rovelli: a dispositionalist account of the quantum limits of knowledge
Mauro Dorato
I begin by examining the question of the quantum limits of knowledge by briefly presenting the constraints of the theory that derive from its mathematical structure (in particular…
The nature of representation in Feynman diagrams
Mauro Dorato, Emanuele Rossanese
After a brief presentation of Feynman diagrams, we criticizise the idea that Feynman diagrams can be considered to be pictures or depictions of actual physical processes. We then s…
Bohr's Relational Holism and the classical-quantum Interaction
Mauro Dorato
In this paper I present and critically discuss the main strategies that Bohr used and could have used to fend off the charge that his interpretation does not provide a clear-cut di…
Events and the Ontology of Quantum Mechanics
Mauro Dorato
In the first part of the paper I argue that an ontology of events is precise, flexible and general enough so as to cover the three main alternative formulations of quantum mechanic…
Laws of Nature and the Reality of the Wave Function
Mauro Dorato
In this paper I review three different positions on the wave function, namely: nomological realism, dispositionalism, and configuration space realism by regarding as essential thei…
The metaphysics of laws: dispositionalism vs. primitivism
Mauro Dorato, Michael Esfeld
The paper compares dispositionalism about laws of nature with primitivism. It argues that while the distinction between these two positions can be drawn in a clear-cut manner in cl…
Realism and instrumentalism about the wave function. How should we choose?
Mauro Dorato, Federico Laudisa
The main claim of the paper is that one can be 'realist' (in some sense) about quantum mechanics without requiring any form of realism about the wave function. We begin by discussi…
Rovelli' s relational quantum mechanics, monism and quantum becoming
Mauro Dorato
In this paper I present and defend Rovelli's relation quantum mechanics from some foreseeable objections, so as to clarify its philosophical implications vis a vis rival interpreta…
