Probing the Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - Christian de Ronde - Bog

Quantum theory is perhaps our best confirmed theory for a description of the physical properties of nature. On top of demonstrating great empirical effectiveness, many technological developments in the 20th century (such as the interpretation of the periodic table of elements, CD players, holograms, and quantum state teleportation) were only made possible with Quantum theory.
Despite its success in the past decades, even today it still remains without a universally accepted interpretation.
This book provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the question; "What is Quantum Mechanics talking about?", a question which continues to be one of the most fascinating and important questions in science.
Using an interdisciplinary approach to foundational problems in Quantum Mechanics (QM), ranging from philosophical questions about the interpretation of QM to technical problems in quantum computation, this book explores quantum mechanics from different perspectives (physical, logical, philosophical and mathematical), by researchers from Europe, North America, and South America.
