Abstract

The wave function, as the hardcore of quantum mechanics, consists in the quantum space. Consequently, the investigation for quantum space becomes an important part in both physics and philosophy, as well

REALISM IN QUANTUM WAVE FUNCTION.

Junqi Wang

Wave function, as both mathematical framework and conceptual framework involves objectivity and subjectivity, matter and consciousness, determinism and underdeterminism, locality and nonlocality, and so on.Therefore, it becomes the hardcore of quantum theory, which should be significantly explored in the framework of philosophy.The realism of wave function has significant influence on the interpretation of quantum measurement, the development of quantum private communication, and the construction of quantum space, which in turn helps us to understand the realism of wave function further.In this paper, we discuss the realism of wave function and its future possible roads.

REALISM IN SPACE-TIME THEORY.

Junqi Wang

The quantum space is both an important part of quantum mechanics and the core problem in the philosophy of quantum mechanics. Because the quantum objects, such as electron and photon, always moves at the speed close to that of light, it is inevitable to involve the inseparability between space and time and discuss the 4-dimensional space-time. In order to investigate the essence of space-time, we must approach to the realm of physical philosophy and discuss the core problem, i.e. the realism in the space-time theories. In this paper, we, combined the semantic and contextual analysis, analyze the development of realism in the development of quantum space-time theory.

The Nature of Space in the Quantum Wave-Function

Raj Bhakta

The quantum wave-function is at the heart of quantum mechanics. It is the physical state of a quantum system before a measurement is taken. This wave-function is described mathematically by the formulation of matrix mechanics and represents the evolution of the quantum wave-function. In contemporary philosophy of physics, the wave-function’s nature of space is hotly debated. Contemporaries such as David Albert, who posits an ontology which is based off the mathematical features of the wave-function, claim that the dimensionality of our physical space is proportional to 3N, where N is equal to the number of particles in the universe. Others such as Bradley Monton claim quantum mechanics to be a false theory from the outset due to its incompatibility with general relativity and posit a much more realist property-based-physics ontology. However, these ontologies have their problems. Albert’s ontology takes the mathematics of the quantum wave-function at face value and disregards the distance properties of metric space to misconstrue the phase space nature of the 3N-configuration space as a metric space. Monton, on the other hand, questionably grounds his thesis on the incompatibility of quantum mechanics with general relativity and on common sense rather than on observation and experimentation, as required by the scientific method. In this thesis, I discuss the viewpoints of Albert and Monton in detail and explore the nature of space in the quantum wave-function in an attempt to reach a better understanding of the fundamental nature of space in the quantum wave-function.

Philosophical Problems of Quantum Physics: Main Solutions and Beyond

Paolo Di Sia

We present a historical-epistemological analysis of the foundations of quantum mechanics, highlighting the relationships between quantum mechanics and scientific realism, as well as the influence of the neo-positivist philosophy of the first decades of the 20th century. The great significance of the measurement process in the context of quantum mechanics is underlined as an essential element in providing a coherent description of reality, moving from micro to macrocosm, as well as the role that the measurement apparatus and the consciousness of the observer assume during the act of measurement, the related ontological problems, the question of the objectification of the wave function, and that of the definition of discernibility. We consider also an overview of the most important alternative proposals to the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics (Copenhagen interpretation), with particular reference to hidden variable theories and other alternatives to standard quantum mechanics philosophical approach, that are modifying the vision of reality, such as the Everett’s many-worlds theory, the QBism and unified holistic approaches, such as the Primordial Dynamic Space.

The Meaning of the Wave Function

Shan Gao

At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the wave function, a powerful but mysterious mathematical object which has been a hot topic of debate from its earliest stages. Covering much of the recent debate and providing a comprehensive and critical review of competing approaches, this ambitious text provides new, decisive proof of the reality of the wave function. Aiming to make sense of the wave function in quantum mechanics and to find the ontological content of the theory, this book explores new ontological interpretations of the wave function in terms of random discontinuous motion of particles. Finally, the book investigates whether the suggested quantum ontology is complete in solving the measurement problem and if it should be revised in the relativistic domain. A timely addition to the literature on the foundations of quantum mechanics, this book is of value to students and researchers with an interest in the philosophy of physics.
