TLDR
In this paper, the authors show that an epistemic perspective can be consistently complemented by Einstein's ontically oriented position, which is consistent with Weizsacker's view of quantum theory as a theory of knowledge.Abstract:
Quantum theory has provoked intense discussions about its interpretation since its pioneer days. One of the few scientists who have been continuously engaged in this development from both physical and philosophical perspectives is Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker [44]. The questions he posed were and are inspiring for many, including the authors of this contribution. Weizsacker developed Bohr’s view of quantum theory as a theory of knowledge. We show that such an epistemic perspective can be consistently complemented by Einstein’s ontically oriented position.read more

A pre-quantum classical statistical model with infinite-dimensional phase space
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that it is possible to construct a natural pre-quantum classical statistical model on the phase space R 2n, which is not the conventional classical statistical mechanics on the R2n, but its infinite-dimensional analogue.

The Principle of Supplementarity: A Contextual Probabilistic Viewpoint to Complementarity, the Interference of Probabilities and Incompatibility of Variables in Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, a contextual statistical model of the probabilistic description of physical reality is presented, where contexts (complexes of physical conditions) are considered as basic elements of reality.

Generalizations of Quantum Mechanics Induced by Classical Statistical Field Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the Dirac-von Neumann formalism for quantum mechanics can be obtained as an approximation of classical statistical field theory based on the Taylor expansion of classical physical variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complementarity in Classical Dynamical Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the complementarity concept was extended to classical dynamical systems with a partitioned phase space and it was shown that such observables are complementary to each other with respect to particular partitions unless those partitions are generating.

On the Problem of Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics
TL;DR: The demonstrations of von Neumann and others, that quantum mechanics does not permit a hidden variable interpretation, are reconsidered in this article, and it is shown that their essential axioms are unreasonable.

Die gegenwärtige Situation in der Quantenmechanik
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the effect of the Verschrgnkung on the performance of the experimentators in terms of the results of the experiments they conducted, and present an analysis of the verifiability of their results.
