Modality, Potentiality and Contradiction in Quantum Mechanics
In [9], Newton da Costa together with the author of this paper argued in favor of the possibility to consider quantum superpositions in terms of a paraconsistent approach. We claimed that, even though most interpretations of quantum mechanics (QM) attempt to escape contradictions, there are many hints that indicate it could be worth while to engage in a research of this kind. Recently, Arenhart...
متن کاملPotentiality and Contradiction in Quantum Mechanics
Following J.-Y.Béziau in his pioneer work on non-standard interpretations of the traditional square of opposition, we have applied the abstract structure of the square to study the relation of opposition between states in superposition in orthodox quantum mechanics in [1]. Our conclusion was that such states are contraries (i.e. both can be false, but both cannot be true), contradicting previou...
متن کاملQuantum Erasure: Quantum Interference Revisited
It may be somewhat surprising that Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment a staple in the freshman physics laboratory would be such an invaluable testing ground for the foundations of quantum physics. Yet the quantum version of the double-slit experiment has been at the center of many debates over the fundamentals of quantum physics since the theory was born, nearly a century ago. In fact, Young...
متن کاملNonseparability, Potentiality and the Context-dependence of Quantum Objects
ion of their entangled correlations with the chosen context of investigation. Thus, the resulting contextual object is the quantum object exhibiting a particular property with respect to a certain experimental situation. The contextual character of property-ascription implies, however, that a state-dependent property of a quantum object is not a welldefined property that has been possessed prio...
متن کاملA quantum model of exaptation: incorporating potentiality into evolutionary theory.
The phenomenon of preadaptation, or exaptation (wherein a trait that originally evolved to solve one problem is co-opted to solve a new problem) presents a formidable challenge to efforts to describe biological phenomena using a classical (Kolmogorovian) mathematical framework. We develop a quantum framework for exaptation with examples from both biological and cultural evolution. The state of ...
