Defending many worlds via case discrimination: An attempt to showcase the conceptual incoherence of anti-realist interpretations and relational quantum mechanics

M Huber - Quantum Reports, 2023 - mdpi.com
In this work, an alternative attempt to motivate the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) is
undertaken. The usual way of arguing for MWI mostly revolves around how it might solve the …

On Bohmian mechanics, particle creation, and relativistic space-time: happy 100th birthday, David Bohm!

R Tumulka - Entropy, 2018 - mdpi.com
The biggest and most lasting among David Bohm's (1917–1992) many achievements is to
have proposed a picture of reality that explains the empirical rules of quantum mechanics …

A proposal for a minimalist ontology

M Esfeld - Synthese, 2020 - Springer
This paper seeks to answer the following question: What is a minimal set of entities that form
an ontology of the natural world, given our well-established physical theories? The proposal …

D Lazarovici - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B …, 2018 - Elsevier
The paper provides a critical discussion of the Super-Humean view of spacetime (Huggett's
regularity account) and the “minimalist ontology” in terms of Leibnizian relations and …

Bohmian mechanics, also known as pilot-wave theory or de Broglie–Bohm theory, is a
formulation of quantum mechanics whose fundamental axioms are not about what observers …

[图书][B] Local quantum measurement and relativity

C Beck - 2021 - Springer
In this chapter, we shall derive and examine (in a novel way) a class of results in relativistic
quantum theory which have been in the center of lively and controversial debates during the …

technique of avoiding the problem of ultraviolet divergence in non-relativistic quantum field …

Against the disappearance of spacetime in quantum gravity

M Esfeld - Synthese, 2021 - Springer
This paper argues against the proposal to draw from current research into a physical theory
of quantum gravity the ontological conclusion that spacetime or spatiotemporal relations are …

Collapse or no collapse? What is the best ontology of quantum mechanics in the primitive ontology framework?

M Esfeld - Collapse of the wave function, Cambridge University …, 2018 - books.google.com

M Esfeld - The foundation of reality: Fundamentality, space, and …, 2020 - books.google.com
Metaphysics, we said, is about what there is and what it is like. But of course it is concerned
not with any old shopping list of what there is and what it is like. Metaphysicians seek a …
