Causal modelling provides a powerful set of tools for identifying causal structure from
observed correlations. It is well known that such techniques fail for quantum systems, unless …

If quantum theories of the world are true-and empirical evidence suggests they are-what do
they tell us about us, and the world? How should quantum theories make us reevaluate our …

It is known that the classical framework of causal models is not general enough to allow for
causal reasoning about quantum systems. While the framework has been generalized in a …

There is a deeply entrenched view in philosophy and physics, the closed systems view,
according to which isolated systems are conceived of as fundamental. On this view, when a …

What role, if any, do causal notions play in physics? On the one hand, it might appear
intuitively obvious that physics aims to provide us with causal knowledge of the world and …

We study the relationship between assumptions of state separability and both preparation
and measurement contextuality, and the relationship of both of these to the frame problem …

We abandon the notion of classical causal models for quantum variables, and focus on
quantum causal models for quantum events. Using the process matrix formalism, one can …

Putnam coined what is now known as the no miracles argument “[t] he positive argument for
realism”. In its opposition, he put an argument that by his own standards counts as negative …

Network explanations raise foundational questions about the nature of scientific explanation.
The challenge discussed in this article comes from the fact that network explanations are …

In what sense are the special sciences autonomous of fundamental physics? Autonomy is
an enduring theme in discussions of the relationship between the special sciences and …
