A quantum mechanical analysis of time and motion in relativity theory
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024)An operational approach to quantum mechanics has been developed in the past decades in our group in Brussels. A similar operational approach is taken in this work, to show that the construction of spacetime is specific to ... -
A way to see the interplay between theory and reality with a look at the quantum case
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024)The purpose of this paper is to argue that neither mathematics nor logic can be applied ‘directly’ to reality, but to our rational representations (or reconstructions) of it, and this is extended to scientic theories in ... -
Hidden variables and Bell’s theorem: local or not?
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024)Bell’s inequality is an empirical constraint on theories with hidden variables, which Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen argued are needed to explain observed perfect correlations if keeping locality. One way to deal with the ... -
Introduction to “Quantum mechanics and reality”
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024)This paper introduces the Special Issue of Theoria entitled “Quantum mechanics and reality”. We first comment on its origins related to the VIII International Workshop on Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information, promoted ... -
Quantum ontology de-naturalized: what we can’t learn from quantum mechanics
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024)Los filósofos de la ciencia suelen conectar ontología y ciencia, afirmando que estas dos disciplinas mantienen una relación en dos direcciones: por un lado, podemos extraer ontología de las teorías científicas; por otro ... -
Remarks on quantum mechanics and non-reflexive logic
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024)In this paper, we discuss and outline a version of non-relativistic quantum mechanics based on a new non-reflexive logic, where the basic entities (elementary particles) lack identity condi-tions. Some relationships with ... -
The miracles argument meets quantum mechanics: toward a locavore philosophy of physics
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024)It’s a mistake to afflict upon on our best theories a single, uniform interpretation meant to apply in all circumstance. It’s a mistake because it impedes the capacity of those theories to function as science. To refrain ...
