Quantum Physics Without Quantum Philosophy

Autor Detlef Dürr, Sheldon Goldstein, Nino Zanghì
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 dec 2014
It has often been claimed that without drastic conceptual innovations a genuine explanation of quantum interference effects and quantum randomness is impossible. This book concerns Bohmian mechanics, a simple particle theory that is a counterexample to such claims. The gentle introduction and other contributions collected here show how the phenomena of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, from Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to non-commuting observables, emerge from the Bohmian motion of particles, the natural particle motion associated with Schrödinger's equation. This book will be of value to all students and researchers in physics with an interest in the meaning of quantum theory as well as to philosophers of science.

Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“It is a book about an objective quantum description of nature and about quantum physics without quantum philosophy. … The book is divided into three parts. … The book is a self-contained presentation of the theory, accessible to mathematicians, physicists, and philosophers of physics with some basic knowledge of quantum mechanics.” (Andrew Bucki, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2014)

Notă biografică

Anne Froemel studierte Mathematik für das gymnasiale Lehramt und promoviert seit 2015 an der LMU München im Schnittbereich von mathematischer Physik und Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie. Detlef Dürr studierte Physik in Münster und promovierte dort 1978. Nach vier Jahren Post-Doc-Zeit an der Rutgers-Universität in New Jersey in der Gruppe von Joel Lebowitz erhielt er nach seiner Habilitation im Fach Mathematik an der Ruhr-Universität-Bochum ein Heisenberg-Stipendium für 6 Jahre und wurde danach an die LMU München auf eine Fiebiger-Professur berufen. Sein Arbeitsgebiet sind die Mathematische Physik sowie die Grundlagen der statistischen Physik und der Quantentheorie.
Martin Kolb studierte Mathematik in München und promovierte 2009 an der TU Kaiserslautern. Anschließend war er als Post-Doc am Department of Statistics der Universität Oxford, als Harrison Early Career Assistant Professor am Department of Statistics der Universität Warwick und als Lecturer am Department of Mathematics and Statistics der Universität Reading tätig, bevor er den Ruf auf eine Professur für Stochastik an der Universität Paderborn annahm.
