A. Neumaier's latest activity
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread I Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about real….See, e.g., the discussion in the last two sections of D. Wallace, The quantum theory of fields, and his Reading List in Philosophy of...
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread A Universal quantum physics.I tried to define everything that is not in typical textbooks. For a single field ##\phi##, the N-point function is simply the map (and...
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread A Universal quantum physics.A (classical or quantum) particle is a quantum field concentrated at each time in a small region of space. I tried to avoid the use of...
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread A Universal quantum physics.It is finished for submission, and I put it online to get some early feedback before actually submitting it (in a few weeks). So the...
-
A. Neumaier posted the thread A Universal quantum physics in Quantum Interpretations and Foundations.Based on the thermal interpretation, I developed a quantum version of the classical, mechanical universe suggested by Laplace over 200...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread A Understanding Barandes' microscopic theory of causality.Possibly of interest: Albert, David Z. (2025) NOTES ON JACOB BARANDES’ VERSION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS. - Preprint...
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.But his book is nearly as far as possible from the consensus textbook orthodoxy; see the last paragraph of p.20 in Beck's paper!
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Orthodoxy is what is (by most textbooks) imparted to students when they have to learn quantum mechanics. That automatically excludes...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.By the paper cited, we now know much better than we used to know....

A. Neumaier posted the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics in Quantum Interpretations and Foundations.Beck, G. (2025). How to be an orthodox quantum mechanic. https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.20597 From the abstract: From the conclusion:
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Good theories (of which good models are anintegral part) have a high explanatory power, revealed by appropriate computations (that...
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.I fully agree with that. But it has nothing to do with what I wrote. Calculations produce the predictions. But they have no causal...
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.It is generally assumed to be in a plane wave state with with low uncertainty in momentum. This is very far from a classical particle...
-
A. Neumaier replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.All have their own interpretation in mind, unless they specifically mention a particular interpretation. Even in that case, they have...

A. Neumaier replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Actually only the first half is part of the Copenhagen interpretation. The second half is not, since an integral part of the Copenhagen...
