Logic and Probability in Quantum Mechanics

Christopher John Isham

Published Jun 1, 1976• 7 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Patrick Suppes (ed) Dordrecht-Holland: D Reidel 1976 pp xv + 541 price Dfl 135, $54 Quantum mechanics is studied and employed at various levels of subtlety by a wide range of scientists. At one extreme are the molecular chemists, laser physicists, integrated circuit manufacturers etc, who are concerned solely with the predictions of the theory and who certainly do not question its logical consistency.

Logical and Epistemological Studies in Contemporary Physics

David L Hurd

Robert S Cohen and M W Wartofsky (eds) Dordrecht: D Reidel 1974 pp viii + 462 price Dfl 55 The contributions collected in this volume cover a varied range of topics from the philosophy of science, but special attention is given to foundational issues in quantum mechanics. In this latter field, particularly valuable are the several discussions which attempt to place in perspective those recent formal investigations which centre around the elaboration of some version of the idea of a 'quantum logic'.

The Quantum Principle

Maurice Ebison

Jagdish Mehra Dordrecht, Holland: D Reidel 1974 pp xii + 132 price Dfl 44, $16.50 For rather more than a decade there has been a welcome revival of interest in the philosophy of science. A good deal of this interest has centred upon discussions of the historical development of scientific theories and in particular of the quantum theory.

Introduction to the Quantum Theory

David L Hurd

David Park McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. Ltd. 1964. Pp. xv + 547. Price 83s. 6d. There are surely few branches of physics which have been so amply, and repetitively, documented as the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Suppressing an almost overwhelming impression of déjà vu, one opens this new entry to the field to find that the text is so organized as to present the discussion of the theory in Part I, and to segregate the applications to Part II, an arrangement for which there is much to be said and which, when as thoughtfully carried out as in the example under review, allows the student, and the lecturer, the opportunity to mix his own blend of theory and application.

The Logical Analysis of Quantum Mechanics

David L Hurd

E Scheibe Oxford: Pergamon 1973 pp viii + 204 price £6.50 With the aid of a meticulously detailed account of the formal basis of quantum mechanics, Professor Scheibe has provided a precise characterization of the orthodox interpretation of the theory. His penetrating analysis reveals subtle distinctions within the compass of orthodoxy and offers a framework within which to locate those issues that have provoked more drastic departures from the now traditional standpoint.
