the aim of the present paper is to sbo» that anti-realism in science, 1vhich has a1;guab/y become more fashionable in recentyears, contrary to tuha: its proponents assert, cannot make use of quantum mechanics and its impressiue achievements as a frump card in justifying its claims. i will argue that scientific anti-realism far from providing scientific communiry with a progressive methodologica...

a noninteracting quantum-dot arrays side coupled to a quantum wire is studied. transport through the quantum wire is investigated by using a noninteracting anderson tunneling hamiltonian. the conductance at zero temperature develops an oscillating band with resonances and antiresonances due to constructive and destructive interference in the ballistic channel, respectively. moreover, we have fo...

The framework of entropic dynamics (ED) allows one to derive quantum mechanics as an application of entropic inference. In this work we derive the classical limit of quantum mechanics in the context of ED. Our goal is to find conditions so that the center of mass (CM) of a system of N particles behaves as a classical particle. What is of interest is that ~ remains finite at all steps in the cal...

Supersymmetry is an idea that has played a critical role in many of the recent developments in theoretical physics of interest to mathematicians. The third volume of The quantum theory of fields by Steven Weinberg [1] is an introduction to supersymmetric field theory and supergravity. The first two volumes of the series treat the essentials of quantum field theory. In this third volume, Weinber...

In this comment we bring attention to the fact that when we apply the ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics, we must be sure to use it in the coordinate representation. This is particularly important when canonical tranformations that mix momenta and coordinates are present. This implies that some of the results obtained by A. B laut and J. Kowalski-Glikman are incorrect.

We formulate according to the quantum mechanical uncertainty relation new quantum electrodynamical uncertainty relation ∆A m ·∆x m ∼ ¯ h e where A m and ∆x m ≥ l B are the pure electromagnetic potential, the position uncertainty and the magnetic length, respectively. Then we show that the observed potential drops on the edge of QHE samples are varifications of this uncertainty relation, where t...

The deuteron is described as a quantum state on a ten-dimensional manifold M 10 of Skyrme fields of degree two, which are obtained by calculating the holonomy of SU (2) instantons. The manifold M 10 includes both toroidal configurations of minimal energy and configurations which are approximately the product of two Skyrmions in the most attractive relative orientation. The quantum Hamiltonian i...
