Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Schommers introduces the foundations, mostly from a histori-cal point of view. Eberhard gives an introductory account ofthe Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and Bell's celebratedinequalities. D'Espagnat discusses realism andseparabilityand concludes that contemporary physics does not lead to adefinite conception of the world. Eberhard shows how a modelconsistent with Bell's theorem can be constructed by ad-mitting faster-than-light action at a distance. Schommersdiscusses the structure ofspace-time and argues that physi-cally real processes do not take place in but are projectedon space-time. Selleri discusses the idea that objectivelyreal quantum waves exist and could in principle be detected.; Although the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics was established by Heisenberg und Schrödinger as early as 1925/26 and soon led to dramatic progress in atomic, molecular and solid-state physics, the interpretation of the theory remains to this day by far the most controversial problem in the foundations of physics. This book deals with the more philosophical question of how the formalism of quantum theory should be interpreted. The book has two parts. Part 1 is concerned with the usual view of quantum theory.
