| Copenhagen Interpretation | Genz | II 116 Copenhagen interpretation/Bohr/Genz: the Copenhagen interpretation was an interpretation not as a physical, but as a logical theory. Thesis: no object can have a certain location and speed at the same time. >Quantum meachanics, >Uncertainty principle. II 117 Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen/EPR/EPRVsQuantum Mechanics/Genz: it is possible to determine both the location and the speed. Genz: today VsEPR: the EPR was refuted by Bell. >Bell's inequality. EPR: supplementation of the microscope with a thought device which, at any distance from the device, determines location and speed individually and independently of each other, so to speak, by remote investigation using quantum mechanics. Reality/EPR/Genz: thesis: if one can predict the value of a physical quantity without disturbing the observed system, then an element exists in reality that corresponds to this quantity. >Measurements, >Predictions. GenzVs: it turned out that this is not the case. |

| Quantum Mechanics | Esfeld | I 253 Quantum Mechanics: quantum mechanics violates the separability (independent existence). Local effect: the local effect is a principle, which excludes interaction between 1st and 2nd measurement. >Non-Locality, >Quantum mechanics/Genz. I 256 Reality/EPR/Einstein-Podolski-Rosen: reality is the prediction of a size without intervention. Incompleteness of the quantum mechanics: something must correspond to the size, regardless of whether the second measurement is carried out. Hidden parameters/quantum mechanics: hidden parameters are over-light speed, backward causality and common cause (deterministic or stochastic). >Hidden parameters. I 260 Bell's theorem: there are no hidden parameters in Bell's theorem. Bell's inequation: the upper limit for correlations is violated - this shows that no common cause is possible. I 281f Quantum Holism/quantum mechanics/Esfeld: the reason for it should not be purely epistemic: otherwise hidden parameters would be excluded only because of a lack of recognizability (too weak) (epistemic/ontological). Non-locality: non-locality is not holism. It is a whole matter holistic system, because a quantum system has the properties that make it into a quantum system only with all the other quantum systems together. >Holism. I 283 Hidden parameters/Bohm: hidden parameters are compatible with holism. Bohm: thesis: a quantum system has a definite value of the location at all times, all other observables are context dependent. Measurement updates the properties. Properties are dispositional - a potential (quantum field) determines the path of the quantum system causally. This is a violation of the parameter independence and the local effect but non-local interaction is not holism. I 286 Ontology/quantum mechanics/Esfeld: minimal ontological interpretation: this means to recognize definite numerical properties as properties of the system. I 293 Quantum-Holism/Esfeld: most quantum holisms show an absence of supervenience: both systems are together in a state with properties. >Supervenience. Singulett state/plate: the singulett state is a relation, not supervenience on non-relational properties (but it is also not a substrate: you do not need any individuals). Also, the state is no realism with regard to universals. >Universals. |

| Quantum Mechanics | Genz | II 118 Quantum Mechanics/Genz: quantum mechanics denies the simultaneous possibility of these three principles: 1. location, 2. possibility of independent coincidences in separate areas and 3. induction. II 235 Observation/principle/formula/equation/Genz: at the beginning of quantum mechanics there were two purely mathematical observations which could not be traced back to any principle: 1. Planck's formula for heat radiation and 2. the formula for the hydrogen spectrum. Justification: justification consisted solely of delivering correct results. Quantum Mechanics/principles/Genz: 1. principle of quantum mechanics: the first principle is entanglement. Thesis: nearly everything is interwoven with anything. Even more profoundly: there are no localizable quantum states. II 236 Remote effect/QWM/message/information/Genz: due to the "remote effect" (from the interconnection) no messages can be transmitted. 2. Principle of quantum mechanics: no message can be transmitted instantaneously. The two principles together are very close to a contradiction. It follows from this that both together are very powerful. >Stronger/weaker. Derivation/principle/Genz: so far, it has not been possible to derive quantum mechanics as the only possible realization of its two principles. >Derivation, >Derivability. II 238 John Bell/quantum mechanics/Genz: John Bell has shown that quantum mechanics does not allow a choice of the frequencies that result in what is observed. The relative frequencies come out wrong. The predictions of quantum mechanics contradict what Bell derived from principles. Quantum mechanics, however, is the best confirmed theory that exists. >Bell's inequation. II 241 Effects/transmission/transfer of effects/energy/quantum mechanics/Genz: a special feature of the transfer of effects in quantum mechanics, through which no messages (information) can be transmitted, is that no energy is transmitted. >Information, >Energy. II 245 Effect/non-locality/Genz: in quantum mechanics, effects (no messages) can be transmitted instantaneously. II 246 Principles/quantum mechanics/Genz: quantum mechanics can be derived entirely from principles that contradict everyday experience. So far, we only know which principles cannot exist together. II 286 Quantum Mechanics/classical physics/Genz: it is mainly the variables describing the states that are different: In quantum mechanics it is the: wave function In classical physics it is: places and velocities. This is not about deterministic or non-deterministic. >Determinism, >Wave function. |
