Can the Decoherent Histories Description of Reality be Considered Satisfactory?
In this letter, we discuss some features of the Decoherent Histories approach; more specifically, we put forward four assumptions, the first three of which, according to us, are necessary for a sound interpretation of the theory, while the fourth one is accepted by the supporters of the DH approach. We then prove that such assumptions lead to a logical contradiction and thus cannot hold simulta...
متن کاملCan Classical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?
We propose a definition of physical objects that aims to clarify some interpretational problems in quantum mechanics. We claim that the transformations induced by an objective property of a physical system must leave invariant all the other objective properties of the same system. The uncertainty principle is understood as a natural consequence of the imbrication between objective properties an...
متن کامل6 Can quantum - mechanical description of physical reality be considered in complete ?
In loving memory of Asher Peres, we discuss a most important and influential paper written in 1935 by his thesis supervisor and mentor Nathan Rosen, together with Albert Einstein and Boris Podolsky. In that paper, the trio known as EPR questioned the completeness of quantum mechanics. The authors argued that the then-new theory should not be considered final because they believed it incapable o...
متن کاملBohmian Histories and Decoherent Histories
The predictions of the Bohmian and the decoherent (or consistent) histories formulations of the quantum mechanics of a closed system are compared for histories — sequences of alternatives at a series of times. For certain kinds of histories, Bohmian mechanics and decoherent histories may both be formulated in the same mathematical framework within which they can be compared. In that framework, ...
متن کاملCan General-relativistic Description of Gravitation Be Considered Complete?
The local galactic cluster, the Great attractor, embeds us in a dimensionless gravitational potential of about −3 × 10. In the solar system this potential is constant to about 1 part in 10. Consequently, planetary orbits, which are determined by the gradient in the gravitational potential, remain unaffected. However, this is not so for the recently introduced flavor-oscillation clocks where the...
