This collection of essays is above all intended to pay tribute to
the fact that while QM today is a refined and incredibly successful
instrument, many issues concerning the internal consistency and the
interpretation of this theory are still not nearly as well
understood as they ought to be. In addition, whenever possible
these essays take the opportunity to link foundational issues to
the many exciting developments that are often linked to major
experimental and technological breakthroughs in exploiting the
electromagnetic field and in particular, its quantum properties and
its interactions with matter, as well as to advances in solid state
physics (such as new quantum Hall liquids, topological insulators
and graphene). The present volume also focuses on various areas,
including new interference experiments with very large molecules
passing through double-slits, which test the validity of the
Kochen-Specker theorem; new tests of the violation of Bell's
inequalities and the consequences of entanglement; new
non-demolition measurements and tests of "wave-function collapse"
to name but a few. These experimental developments have raised many
challenging questions for theorists, leading to a new surge of
interest in the foundations of QM, which have puzzled physicists
ever since this theory was pioneered almost ninety years ago. The
outcome of a seminar program of the same name on foundational
issues in quantum physics (QM), organized by the editors of this
book and addressing newcomers to the field and more seasoned
specialists alike, this volume provides a pedagogically inspired
snapshot view of many of the unresolved issues in the field of
foundational QM.
