Arkady Plotnitsky’s Epistemology & Probability examines the philosophical foundations of quantum mechanics through the works of Bohr, Heisenberg, and Schrödinger. By exploring concepts like complementarity, uncertainty, and probability, the book challenges classical determinism and highlights the interplay between physics and epistemology, offering profound insights into reality and knowledge in modern science.

Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics

In quantum mechanics, particles do not possess well-defined positions and speeds. Rather, these values are represented by something called a wave function

A wave function is a set of numbers, each one representing a different point of space. The size of the wave function ...

Dualities

Duality is a closely related idea to symmetry. Wave-particle duality has been around since the beginning of quantum mechanics. But newfound dualities have shown interesting relationships. For example, a three-dimensional world without gravity can be mathematically equivalent to a fou...

Erwin Schrödinger proposed a paradox

Erwin Schrödinger was a Nobel prize-winning physicist. Schrödinger proposed a paradox in 1935 to illustrate a point in quantum mechanics about the nature of wave particles.

At the center of quantum theory is the idea of a wave function. A wave-function describes all the possible states sub...
