Bell's theorem rules out many potential reformulations of quantum mechanics, but within a
generalized framework it does not exclude all locally mediated models. Such models …

A century after the discovery of quantum mechanics, the meaning of quantum mechanics still
remains elusive. This is largely due to the puzzling nature of the wave function, the central …

In this book, Tim Maudlin, one of the world's leading philosophers of physics, offers a
sophisticated, original introduction to the philosophy of quantum mechanics. The briefest …

The introduction of control theory in quantum mechanics has created a rich, new
interdisciplinary scientific field, which is producing novel insight into important theoretical …

Bohmian mechanics, which is also called the de Broglie-Bohm theory, the pilot-wave model,
and the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, is a version of quantum theory …

The classical causal relations between a set of variables, some observed and some latent,
can induce both equality constraints (typically conditional independencies) as well as …

Bell inequalities rest on three fundamental assumptions: realism, locality, and free choice,
which lead to nontrivial constraints on correlations in very simple experiments. If we retain …

It is shown that when properly analyzed using principles consistent with the use of a Hilbert
space to describe microscopic properties, quantum mechanics is a local theory: one system …

Many people, including physicists, are confused about what the Second Law of
thermodynamics really means, about how it relates to the arrow of time, and about whether it …

These two sentences seem to be very simple, but they are major motivations to drive the
advances in science and technology of human history. However, modern cosmology tells us …
