Interpreting Quantum Entanglement: Steps towards Coherentist Quantum Mechanics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We put forward a new, ‘coherentist’ account of quantum entanglement, according to which entangled systems are characterized by symmetric relations ontological dependence among the component particles. compare this coherentist viewpoint with two most popular alternatives currently on offer—structuralism and holism—and argue that it is essentially different from, preferable to, both. In course article, we point out how coherentism might be extended beyond case entanglement further articulated.

Some Steps towards a Transcendental Deduction of Quantum Mechanics
My purpose in this paper is to show that the two major options on which the current debate on the interpretation of quantum mechanics relies, namely realism and empiricism (or instrumentalism), are far from being exhaustive. There is at least one more position available; a position which has been widely known in the history of philosophy during the past two centuries but which, in spite of some...
متن کاملInterpreting Probabilities in Quantum Field Theoryand Quantum Statistical Mechanics
In ordinary nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (QM), the observables pertaining to a system typically form the self-adjoint part of the algebra B(H) of bounded operators acting on a Hilbert space H.1 B(H) is an algebra of the genus von Neumann and the species Type I factor.2 Here we consider quantum systems whose observable-algebras belong to the same genus, but correspond to more exotic species...
متن کاملVoltage-Controlled Entanglement between Quantum- Dot Molecule and its Spontaneous Emission Fields via Quantum Entropy
The time evolution of the quantum entropy in a coherently driven threelevel quantum dot (QD) molecule is investigated. The entanglement of quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission field is coherently controlled by the gat voltage and the intensity of applied field. It is shown that the degree of entanglement between a three-level quantum dot molecule and its spontaneous emission fields...
متن کاملEntanglement and the Linearity of Quantum Mechanics
Optimal universal entanglement processes are discussed which entangle two quantum systems in an optimal way for all possible initial states. It is demonstrated that the linear character of quantum theory which enforces the peaceful coexistence of quantum mechanics and relativity imposes severe restrictions on the structure of the resulting optimally entangled states. Depending on the dimension ...
متن کاملTowards Adelic Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics
A motivation of using noncommutative and nonarchimedean geometry on very short distances is given. Besides some mathematical preliminaries, we give a short introduction in adelic quantum mechanics. We also recall to basic ideas and tools embedded in q-deformed and noncommutative quantum mechanics. A rather fundamental approach, called deformation quantization, is noted. A few relations between ...
