Introduction—Epistemology and Probability in Quantum Theory: Physics, Mathematics, and Philosophy

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 1 –44

[The introduction offers an outline of, as I shall term it here, the “nonclassical” epistemology of quantum mechanics and the corresponding view of quantum probability, which, jointly, ground the argument of this study. It also discusses the relationships among physics, philosophy, and...

Quantum Phenomena and the Double-Slit Experiment

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 45 –75

[The aim of this chapter is to introduce, in concrete physical terms, quantum phenomena, by which I, again, mean those physical phenomena in considering which Planck’s constant h cannot be neglected. I shall do so by way of the double-slit experiment, a paradigmatic or, it is sometimes argued,...

Heisenberg’s Revolutions: New Kinematics, New Mathematics, and New Philosophy

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 77 –113

[This and the next chapter explore the physical, mathematical, and philosophical significance of Heisenberg’s discovery of quantum mechanics. This discovery was among the most momentous discoveries in the history of physics, comparable to that of classical mechanics by Newton, Maxwell’s discovery...

From Geometry to Algebra in Physics, with Heisenberg

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 115 –136

[This chapter considers the new relationships between physics and mathematics that emerge with Heisenberg’s discovery of matrix mechanics and its development in the work of Born, Jordan, and Heisenberg himself, and in Dirac’s version of the formalism. Taking as its point of departure Einstein’s...
Available

Schrödinger’s Waves: Propagation and Probability

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 137 –177

[This chapter offers a reassessment, from the perspective of this study, of Schrödinger’s work, especially of his concept idea of quantum waves, as it extended from Max Born’s 1926 interpretation of Schrödinger’s wave or ψ-function in terms of probability to Bohr’s complementarity and then to the...

Bohr’s Como Argument: Complementarity and the Problem of Causality

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 179 –217

[This and the following chapter consider Bohr’s new ways (plural) of thinking about quantum phenomena and quantum theory in terms of complementarity that emerged in the wake of Heisenberg’s discovery of quantum mechanics and then of the uncertainty relations. Bohr’s thought on these subjects...
Available

From Como to Copenhagen: Renunciations

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 219 –235

[This chapter is a discussion of a new approach to complementarity, developed by Bohr shortly after the Como lecture. This approach was marked by Bohr’s rethinking of the question of causality in quantum theory following his initial exchanges on quantum mechanics with Einstein and was based on a...
Available

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered both Complete and Local?

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 237 –277

[This chapter offers an analysis of Bohr’s exchanges with Einstein concerning the completeness and, then, locality of quantum mechanics, most especially Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen’s article and Bohr’s reply, both published under the same title—“Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical...
Available

Essential Ambiguity and Essential Influence: Reading Bohr’s Reply to EPR

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 279 –311

[This chapter offers a detailed reading of Bohr’s reply to EPR, which is one of the most important, and one of the most difficult and controversial of Bohr’s works. The present reading is arguably the first ever at this level of detail; and, in addition to supplementing the analysis given in...
Available

Mysteries Without Mysticism, Correlations Without Correlata, Epistemology Without Ontology, and Probability Without Causality

Plotnitsky, Arkady

Pages: 313 –352

[This chapter considers the nonclassical version of Bohr’s interpretation of quantum phenomena and quantum mechanics as complementarity, developed by him in terms of his concepts of phenomena and atomicity following his exchange with EPR, and the view of probability arising from this...
