  • Quantum Reality

    The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

    by Jim Baggott ...
    Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we ... Read more

    by Wassim M. Haddad, VijaySekhar Chellaboina, Sergey G. Nersesov ...
    Series series Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics
    This book places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics.

  • Quantum Ontology

    A Guide to the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics

    by Peter J. Lewis ...
    Metaphysicians should pay attention to quantum mechanics. Why? Not because it provides definitive answers to many metaphysical questions-the theory itself is remarkably silent on the nature of the physical world, and the various interpretations of the theory on offer present conflicting ontological pictures. Rather, quantum mechanics is essential to the metaphysician because it reshapes standard ... Read more
