Foundations and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics In the Light of a Critical-Historical Analysis of the Problems and of a Synthesis of the Results

The aim of this book is twofold: to provide a comprehensive account of the foundations of the theory and to outline a theoretical and philosophical interpretation suggested from the results of the last twenty years.There is a need to provide an account of the foundations of the theory because recent experience has largely confirmed the theory and offered a wealth of new discoveries and possibilities. On the other side, the following results have generated a new basis for discussing the problem of the interpretation: the new developments in measurement theory; the experimental generation of "Schrodinger cats"; recent developments which allow, for the first time, the simultaneous measurement of complementary observables; quantum information processing, teleportation and computation.To accomplish this task, the book combines historical, systematic and thematic approaches.Parisi, Giorgio is the author of 'Foundations and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics In the Light of a Critical-Historical Analysis of the Problems and of a Synthesis of the Results' with ISBN 9789810240394 and ISBN 9810240392.
