Fifty years ago—in 1963, to be precise—the British physicist Trevor Marshall published a
paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society under the short title Random Electrodynamics …

This review, of the understanding of quantum mechanics, is broad in scope, and aims to
reflect enough of the literature to be representative of the current state of the subject. To …

Peter Byrne tells the story of Hugh Everett III (1930-1982), whose" many worlds" theory of
multiple universes has had a profound impact on physics and philosophy. Using Everett's …

For two decades, the formalism of quantum mechanics has been successfully used to
describe human decision processes, situations of heuristic reasoning, and the contextuality …

There Are No Such Things as Theories considers the fundamental question: what is a
scientific theory? It presents a range of options-from theories are sets of propositions, to …

Quantum physics describes light as having both particle and wave properties; however,
there is no consensus about how to interpret this duality on an ontological level. This article …

In 1956, Hugh Everett, then a PhD student at Princeton, proposed his “relative state”
formulation of quantum mechanics. John Wheeler, who was Everett's advisor, recognized …

Wikipedia has claimed for over 3 years now that John von Neumann was the 'first quantum
Bayesian'. In context, this reads as stating that von Neumann inaugurated QBism, the …
