The philosophy of quantum physics
The philosophy of quantum physics[electronic resource] /by Cord Friebe ... [et al.]. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xvii, 291 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Physical and mathematical foundations (Cord Friebe) -- The Measurement problem. Minimal and collapse interpretations (Cord Friebe) -- Quantum identity and indistinguishability (Holger Lyre) -- Entanglement and non-locality: EPR, Bell and their consequences (Paul Nager and Manfred Stockler) -- Non-collapse interpretations (Oliver Passon) -- Quantum field theory (Meinard Kuhlmann and Manfred Stockler) -- Chronology and outlook (Cord Friebe, Meinard Kuhlmann and Holger Lyre) -- Example solutions for the exercises.

This book provides a thorough and up-to-date introduction to the philosophy of quantum physics. Although quantum theory is renowned for its spectacular empirical successes, controversial discussion about how it should be understood continue to rage today. In this volume, the authors provide an overview of its numerous philosophical challenges: Do quantum objects violate the principle of causality? Are particles of the same type indistinguishable and therefore not individual entities? Do quantum objects retain their identity over time? How does a compound quantum system relate to its parts? These questions are answered here within different interpretational approaches to quantum theory. Finally, moving to Quantum Field Theory, we find that the problem of non-locality is exacerbated. Philosophy of quantum physics is aimed at philosophers with an interest in physics, while also serving to familiarize physicists with many of the essential philosophical questions of their subject.
