Probing The Meaning Of Quantum Mechanics: Information, Contextuality, Relationalism And Entanglement - Proceedings Of The Ii International Workshop On Quantum Mechanics And Quantum Information. Physical, Philosophical And Logical Approaches e-bog

This book provides an interdisciplinary perspective on one of the most fascinating and important open questions in science: What is quantum mechanics talking about? Quantum theory is perhaps our best confirmed physical theory. However, despite its great empirical effectiveness and the subsequent technological developments that it gave rise to in the 20th century, from the interpretation of the periodic table of elements to CD players, holograms and quantum state teleportation, it stands even today without a universally accepted interpretation. The novelty of the book comes from the multiple viewpoints and subjects investigated by a group of researchers from Europe and North and South America.
