GianCarlo Ghirardi: Passing the Torch on Collapse Models

Adler, Stephen L.

Pages: 3 –4

[I describe how I became interested in the quantum measurement problem, and how I learned about the important work of Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber and of Pearle. I first met Ghirardi in Trieste in 1999, and through him met Angelo Bassi, with whom I have had a long and fruitful friendship and...

EPR-Bell-Schrödinger Proof of Nonlocality Using Position and Momentum

Bricmont, Jean; Goldstein, Sheldon; Hemmick, Douglas

Pages: 5 –33

[Based on his extension of the classical argument of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, Schrödinger observed that, in certain quantum states associated with pairs of particles that can be far away from one another, the result of the measurement of an observable associated with one particle is...

Typicality in the Foundations of Statistical Physics and Born’s Rule

Dürr, Detlef; Struyve, Ward

Pages: 35 –43

[Typicality has always been in the minds of the founding fathers of probability theory when probabilistic reasoning is applied to the real world. However, the role of typicality is not always appreciated. An example is the article “Foundations of statistical mechanics and the status of Born’s...

Presentation of Collapse Models

Ferialdi, Luca

Pages: 45 –54

[The Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) model of wave function collapse was successful in giving a solution to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. Despite this, it lacked two desirable features—one mathematical and one physical—for a collapse model. The mathematical aspect of the GRW model...

Appreciating What He Did

Maudlin, Tim

Pages: 55 –61

[In 1989, a NATO summer school organized by Arthur Miller was held in Erice, Sicily. By a rather unexpected set of circumstances I managed to horn my way into attending that conference, and therein lies a tale I have often told. It bears repeating here.]

The GRW Theory and the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics

Albert, David

Pages: 65 –72

[Giancarlo Ghirardi, along with Alberto Rimini and Tullio Weber, first showed the world that there could be a scientifically respectable theory of the collapse of the quantum–mechanical wave-function. It is primarily and rightfully for that, that they will always be remembered. In this paper I...

Spontaneous Localization Theories with a Particle Ontology

Allori, Valia

Pages: 73 –93

[Spontaneous localization theory is a quantum theory proposed by GianCarlo Ghirardi, together with Alberto Rimini and Tullio Weber in 1986. However, soon it became clear to Ghirardi that his work was more than just one theory: he actually developed a framework, a family of theories in which the...

From the Measurement Problem to the Primitive Ontology Programme

Esfeld, Michael

Pages: 95 –108

[The paper retraces the development from the measurement problem to the primitive ontology programme. It assesses the contribution of the GRW theory to this programme and discusses the pros and cons of the GRWm matter density ontology and the GRWf flash ontology in comparison to the Bohmian...

Might Laws of Nature ‘Ground’ Phenomena?

Laudisa, Federico

Pages: 109 –119

[The present paper focuses on the connection between grounding and laws of nature or, better, on the meaning that the grounding relation might assume if considered by a nomological point of view. In particular, the working hypothesis is that the grounding relation might used to implement the...

On Closing the Circle

Lewis, Peter J.

Pages: 121 –132

[Ghirardi sought to “close the circle”—to find a place for human experience of measurement outcomes within quantum mechanics. I argue that Ghirardi’s spontaneous collapse approach succeeds at this task, and in fact does so even without the postulation of a particular account of “primitive...
