SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around the peculiar arXiv paper titled "Would Bohr be born if Bohm were born before Born?" which has been highlighted as one of the weirdest titles of the year. Participants also reference related works by Harvey Nikolic, including "Quantum nonlocality without hidden variables: An algorithmic approach," which explores the local versus nonlocal interpretations of quantum mechanics. The discussion emphasizes the significance of different formulations of quantum mechanics and their implications for understanding locality and nonlocality in quantum theory.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with arXiv and academic paper referencing
  • Knowledge of different formulations and interpretations of quantum mechanics
  • Basic grasp of algorithmic approaches in theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of locality and nonlocality in quantum mechanics
  • Explore the concept of hidden variables in quantum theory
  • Study algorithmic approaches to quantum mechanics interpretations
  • Examine other notable arXiv papers with unusual titles for insights into academic discourse
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, quantum mechanics researchers, and students interested in theoretical physics and the nuances of academic paper titles and their implications in scientific discussions.

for the weirdest arXiv title of the year, so far:
"Would Bohr be born if Bohm were born before Born?"

Not only weird, it is a great tongue-twistor. Try to say it fast.

I saw that Harvey Nikolic paper too and thought about starting a thread, but didn't know whether DeMyst'er liked to remain anonymous
so that we shouldn't mention it. I guess not.

Thanks!
I uncoverd my identity several times on this forum, so do I not have a reason to hide my identity.

Quantum nonlocality without hidden variables: An algorithmic approach
H. Nikolic
4 pages

"Is quantum mechanics (QM) local or nonlocal? Different formulations/interpretations (FI) of QM, with or without hidden variables, suggest different answers. Different FI's can be viewed as different algorithms, which leads us to propose an algorithmic definition of locality according to which a theory is local if and only if there exists at least one FI in which all irreducible elements of that FI are local. The fact that no such FI of QM is known strongly supports quantum nonlocality."
