I'm kind of rambling here since I'm not sure how to formulate what I'm trying to say. Is there an interpretation of quantum mechanics that uses topos theory? As in is there a way to fix some of the logical paradoxes of QM interpretations, by using a many valued logic system?

Since they first started making noises about this, I've been wondering whether there's anything of genuinely physics-relevant substance in this, or is it just maths and reformulation? Have you (or anyone else) formed an opinion about that?

I have wondering the same thing.
 

Thread 'Why Entangled Photon-Polarization Qubits Violate Bell’s Inequality'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...

Thread 'Question about discussions around quantum interpretations'

I understand that the world of interpretations of quantum mechanics is very complex, as experimental data hasn't completely falsified the main deterministic interpretations (such as Everett), vs non-deterministc ones, however, I read in online sources that Objective Collapse theories are being increasingly challenged. Does this mean that deterministic interpretations are more likely to be true? I always understood that the "collapse" or "measurement problem" was how we phrased the fact that...
