Electron charge density: A clue from quantum chemistry for quantum foundations

CT Sebens - Foundations of Physics, 2021 - Springer
Within quantum chemistry, the electron clouds that surround nuclei in atoms and molecules
are sometimes treated as clouds of probability and sometimes as clouds of charge. These …

[HTML][HTML] An elementary proof that Everett's quantum multiverse is nonlocal: Bell-locality and branch-symmetry in the many-worlds interpretation

A Drezet - Symmetry, 2023 - mdpi.com
Everett's many-worlds or multiverse theory is an attempt to find an alternative to the standard
Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Everett's theory is often claimed to be …

[HTML][HTML] Set Theory and Many Worlds

P Tappenden - Quantum Reports, 2023 - mdpi.com
The 2022 Tel Aviv conference on the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics

Multiplicity in Everett׳ s interpretation of quantum mechanics

L Marchildon - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B …, 2015 - Elsevier
Everett׳ s interpretation of quantum mechanics was proposed to avoid problems inherent in
the prevailing interpretational frame. It assumes that quantum mechanics can be applied to …

A Set-Theoretic Metaphysics for Quantum Mechanics

P Tappenden - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.14004, 2023 - arxiv.org
Set theory brought revolution to philosophy of mathematics and it can bring revolution to
philosophy of physics too. All that stands in the way is the intuition that sets of physical …

Making sense of Born's rule with the many-minds interpretation

A Drezet - Quantum Studies: Mathematics and Foundations, 2021 - Springer
This work is an attempt to justify Born's rule within the framework of the many-minds
interpretation seen as a development of the many-worlds interpretation of Everett. More …

Epistemic Uncertainty from an Averaged Hamilton–Jacobi Formalism

MJ Kazemi, SY Rokni - Foundations of Physics, 2022 - Springer

Collapse of the many-worlds interpretation: Why Everett's theory is typically wrong

A Drezet - arXiv preprint arXiv:2109.10646, 2021 - arxiv.org
We analyze the objective meaning of probabilities in the context of the many-worlds
interpretation of Everett. For this purpose we study in details the weak law of large numbers …

Non-quantum behaviors of configuration-space density formulations of quantum mechanics

P Roser, MT Scoggins - Advances in Pilot Wave Theory: From Experiments …, 2023 - Springer
The trajectories of the pilot-wave formulation of quantum mechanics and hence its empirical
predictions may be recovered via the dynamics of a density function on the configuration …
