Perspectival Quantum Realism

چکیده
Abstract The theories of pre-quantum physics are standardly seen as representing physical systems and their properties. Quantum mechanics in its standard form is a more problematic case: here, interpretational problems have led to doubts about the tenability realist views. Thus, QBists Pragmatists maintain that quantum should not be thought systems, but rather an agent-centered tool for updating beliefs such systems. It part parcel views different agents may assign states. What results collection perspectives than unique representation world. In this paper we argue identified by QBism Pragmatism do necessitate abandoning ideal We can avail ourselves same puzzle-solving strategies employed pragmatists adopting perspectival realism . According perspectivalism (close relational interpretation mechanics) objects possess different, equally objective properties with respect physically defined perspectives. discuss two options perspectivalism, local nonlocal one, apply them Wigner’s friend EPR scenarios. Finally, connect recently proposed philosophical position fragmentalism

متن کاملTopos Theoretic Quantum Realism
Topos Quantum Theory (TQT) is standardly portrayed as a kind of ‘neo-realist’ reformulation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we study the extent to which TQT can really be characterised as a realist formulation of the theory, and examine the question of whether the kind of realism that is provided by TQT satisfies the philosophical motivations that are usually associated with the search for...
متن کاملQuantum codewords contradict local realism
Quantum codewords are highly entangled combinations of two-state systems. The standard assumptions of local realism lead to logical contradictions similar to those found by Bell, Kochen and Specker, Greenberger, Horne and Zeilinger, and Mermin. The new contradictions have some noteworthy features that did not appear in the older ones. PACS: 03.65.Bz, 89.80.+h, 89.70.+c ∗Permanent address: Depar...
