Consistent Quantum Mechanics Admits No Mereotopology

The Consistent Histories Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

The consistent histories (CH) reformulation of quantum mechanics (QM) was developed by Robert Griffiths, given a formal logical systematization by Roland Omnès, and under the label ‘decoherent histories’, was independently developed by Murray Gell-Mann and James Hartle and extended to quantum cosmology. Criticisms of CH involve issues of meaning, truth, objectivity, and coherence, a mixture of ...

Consistent quantum theory as a realistic formulation of quantum mechanics

The foundations of quantum mechanics have been plagued by controversy throughout the 85 year history of the field. It is argued that lack of clarity in the formulation of basic philosophical questions leads to unnecessary obscurity and controversy and an attempt is made to identify the main forks in the road that separate the most important interpretations of quantum theory. The consistent hist...

Consistent interpretation of quantum mechanics using quantum trajectories.

No contradictions between Bohmian and quantum mechanics

Two recent claims by A. Neumaier (quant-ph/0001011) and P. Ghose (quant-ph/0001024) that Bohmian mechanics is incompatible with quantum mechanics for correlations involving time are shown to be unfounded.

No-Cloning In Categorical Quantum Mechanics

The No-Cloning theorem is a basic limitative result for quantum mechanics, with particular significance for quantum information. It says that there is no unitary operation which makes perfect copies of an unknown (pure) quantum state. A stronger form of this result is the No-Broadcasting theorem, which applies to mixed states. There is also a No-Deleting theorem. Recently, the author and Bob Co...
