The Point of Primitive Ontology
Dustin Lazarovici, Paula Reichert
Bohmian mechanics grounds the predictions of quantum mechanics in precise dynamical laws for a primitive ontology of point particles. In an appraisal of the de-Broglie-Bohm theory,…
Position Measurements and the Empirical Status of Particles in Bohmian Mechanics
Dustin Lazarovici
The paper addresses the debate about the empirical status of particles versus wave functions in Bohmian quantum mechanics. It thereby clarifies questions and misconceptions about t…
Against Fields
Dustin Lazarovici
Using the example of classical electrodynamics, I argue that the concept of fields as mediators of particle interactions is fundamentally flawed and reflects a misguided attempt to…
How Quantum Mechanics can consistently describe the use of itself
Dustin Lazarovici, Mario Hubert
We discuss the no-go theorem of Frauchiger and Renner based on an "extended Wigner's friend" thought experiment which is supposed to show that any single-world interpretation of qu…
Arrow(s) of Time without a Past Hypothesis
Dustin Lazarovici, Paula Reichert
The paper discusses recent proposals by Carroll and Chen, as well as Barbour, Koslowski, and Mercati to explain the (thermodynamic) arrow of time without a Past Hypothesis, i.e., t…
On Boltzmann vs. Gibbs and the Equilibrium in Statistical Mechanics
Dustin Lazarovici
In a recent article, Werndl and Frigg discuss the relationship between the Boltzmannian and Gibbsian framework of statistical mechanics, addressing in particular the question when…
