Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.A very clear explanation of what constitues the ontology of RQM, taken from this paper: "The standard objection to the epistemic... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.In fact, Rovelli developed the relational interpretation inspired by his work in loop quantum gravity. He discusses this in section 4(c)... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Hi @PeroK! Your objections relate to certain metaphysical assumptions that you take for granted, but which RQM rejects. First, I would... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.I'll make one last attempt! In any case, we may disagree and that's perfectly fine. :smile: Yes, that's true, but Rovelli mentions it... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Yes, absolutely! That's why it's a matter open to interpretation. I'm not entirely sure I understand this question. According to the... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.This idea can be found in several places throughout Rovelli's writings. As an example, in the book we mentioned earlier ("Reality is not... -

"Transition probability" is a somewhat misleading term, because it suggests a "thing" undergoing a transition. (Is time special?) We... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.Rovelli says: "The question of ‘what happens between quantum events’ is meaningless in the theory. The happening of the world is a very... -

What does it mean to exist? Does the letter A exist on your computer screen, even though it's just a pattern of pixels, possibly... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.It is consistent. In fact, this is the type of ontology on which the relational interpretation (https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2017.0312)... -

Exactly. Since charge is conserved, most physicists would say that an electron must have continuous existence. But this need not be... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.That was not the idea behind my comment and the reference to Schrödinger's text. See my previous post. As I said, this depends on the... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.That means that what we call a particle may not exist beyond measurements/observations/interactions. What is "real" are the detection... -

Do you think that the "basic principles" of quantum theory have reached their final form? I don't. Ballentine's two postulates depend... -
Sambuco replied to the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics.I would like to add that the idea that a quantum object exists at all times and possesses objective properties is nothing more than a...
