Parameter Independence and Outcome Independence in Dynamical Collapse Theories
Travis Norsen
Ghirardi, Grassi, Butterfield, and Fleming have previously argued that two distinct formulations of dynamical reduction (GRW) theories have distinct non-local properties: one (the…
Wave Packets and Scattering Probabilities
Travis Norsen
We propose a simple, intuitive alternative method of deriving the rule for connecting asymptotic wave function amplitudes to scattering probabilities. This is illustrated using the…
Local Causality and Completeness: Bell vs. Jarrett
Travis Norsen
J.S. Bell believed that his famous theorem entailed a deep and troubling conflict between the empirically verified predictions of quantum theory and the notion of local causality t…
How and why to think about scattering in terms of wave packets instead of plane waves
Travis Norsen, Joshua Lande, S. B. McKagan
We discuss "the plane wave approximation" to quantum mechanical scattering using simple one-dimensional examples. The central points of the paper are that (a) plane waves should be…
Comment on ``Experimental realization of Wheeler's delayed-choice GedankenExperiment''
Travis Norsen
A shortcoming in the authors' interpretation of this beautiful new experiment is pointed out and briefly discussed.
Against `Realism'
Travis Norsen
We examine the prevalent use of the phrase ``local realism'' in the context of Bell's Theorem and associated experiments, with a focus on the question: what exactly is the `realism…
