Titre : The Oxford Handbook of the History of Quantum Interpretations Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Olival Freire, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2022 Importance : XIV-1296 P. Présentation : broche : couv.ill. en coul Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-898907-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : (03.65) Mecanique quantique et theorie quantique des champs Mots-clés : History of science Quantum mechanics Index. décimale : 03.65 Résumé : Quantum mechanics approaches its centenary with an impressive record. It became the backbone of most research in physics, led to applications such as the transistor and laser, and prompted an upheaval in the philosophy of science. Its scope and its precision have been constantly growing, and it is now promising more powerful computers and safer cryptography. This century of conquests has also been a time of ongoing debates about the foundations and interpretation of the theory, which has been referred to as the quantum controversy. The controversy has been unusually long and remains open. Jammer called it “a story without an ending” and Laloë described this coexistence of successes and doubts with the metaphor of the colossus with feet of clay. This Handbook is a survey on this history. Some of the so-called “interpretations” are not interpretations of a fixed formalism, they are different theories, thus it has been a debate about the interpretations and the foundations of quantum mechanics. In this volume, the “history of interpretations” is used for the sake of brevity. The successive parts of the Handbook deal with the scientific and philosophical issues under debate, historical landmarks, places and contexts, historical and philosophical theses, and the proliferation of interpretations. This Handbook may serve those interested in the history of quantum mechanics and those who are engaged with, or attracted by current research on quantum information, as it may give them a flavor of the history that led to or lay the groundwork for the current investigations.

Titre : The Philosophy and Physics of Duality Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sebastian Haro De, Auteur ; Jeremy Butterfield, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2025 Importance : XV-599 P. Présentation : Relié, couv. illus. en coul. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-884633-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : (01.65) Histoire et philosophie des sciences Mots-clés : History of science Index. décimale : 01.65 Résumé : This monograph discusses dualities in physics: what dualities are, their main examples—from quantum mechanics and electrodynamics to statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and string theory—and the philosophical questions that they raise. Part I first conceptualises dualities and discusses their main roles and themes, including how they are related to familiar notions like symmetry and interpretation. It also discusses the main simple examples of dualities: position-momentum, wave-particle, electric-magnetic and Kramers-Wannier dualities. Part II discusses advanced examples and their inter-relations: particle-soliton dualities, electric-magnetic dualities in quantum field theories, dualities in string theory, and gauge-gravity duality. This Part ends with discussions of the hole argument, and how string theory counts the microstates of a black hole. Part III is an in-depth discussion of general philosophical issues on which dualities bear: theoretical equivalence (two theories ‘saying the same thing, in different words’), scientific realism and the under-determination of theories by data, theory succession and the M-theory programme, explanation and scientific understanding. It proposes a view of scientific theories that it dubs the geometric view of theories. The book’s treatment of the examples is at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level, starting from elementary and progressing to more advanced examples. The discussions of philosophical topics, such as referential semantics, theoretical equivalence, scientific realism and scientific understanding, are both self-contained and in-depth. Thus the book is aimed at students and researchers with an interest in the physical examples and philosophical questions about dualities, and also in how physics and philosophy can fruitfully interact with each other.
