Journal ArticleDOI
Communication by EPR devices
TL;DR: In this article, a recent proposal to achieve faster-than-light communication by means of an EPR-type experimental set-up is examined, and it is shown that such superluminal communication is not possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overlap and distinguishability of quantum states
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that not | | 2 but rather | | plays the role of determining the measure of distinguishability of |p > and |q > if a classification with certainty is required.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Contextual Approach to Scientific Understanding
Henk W. de Regt,Dennis Dieks +1 more
TL;DR: This analysis provides a general account of how understanding is provided by scientific explanations of diverse types and reconciles conflicting views of explanatory understanding, such as the causal-mechanical and the unificationist conceptions.
BookDOI
The modal interpretation of quantum mechanics
Dennis Dieks,Pieter E. Vermaas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Dieks, P.E. Vermaas, R. Dickson, and R. Clifton give a personal evaluation of the Kochen-Dieks and the Atomic Modal Interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Formalism of Quantum Theory: An Objective Description of Reality?
TL;DR: In this paper, the formalism of quantum theory can be given an empirical interpretation (in the sense of a connection with observable phenomena) in the same way as in any other empirical theory, in particular, there is no need to supplement the unitary time evolution governed by a Schrodinger-type of equation with a projection postulate that applies only to measurements.
