From the very beginning it was realised that quantum physics
involves radically new interpretative and epistemological
consequences. While hitherto there has been no satisfactory
philosophical analysis of these consequences, recent years have
witnessed the accomplishment of many experiments to test the
foundations of quantum physics, opening up vistas to a completely
novel technology: quantum technology. The contributions in the
present volume review the interpretative situation, analyze recent
fundamental experiments, and discuss the implications of possible
future technological applications. Readership: Analytic
philosophers (logical empiricists), scientists (especially
physicists), historians of logic, mathematics and physics,
philosophers of science, and advanced students and researchers in
these fields. Can be used for seminars on theoretical and
experimental physics and philosophy of science, and as
supplementary reading at advanced undergraduate and graduate
levels.
This self-contained essay collection is published to commemorate
half a century of Bell's theorem. Like its much acclaimed
predecessor "Quantum [Un]Speakables: From Bell to Quantum
Information" (published 2002), it comprises essays by many of the
worlds leading quantum physicists and philosophers. These revisit
the foundations of quantum theory as well as elucidating the
remarkable progress in quantum technologies achieved in the last
couple of decades. Fundamental concepts such as entanglement,
nonlocality and contextuality are described in an accessible manner
and, alongside lively descriptions of the various theoretical and
experimental approaches, the book also delivers interesting
philosophical insights. The collection as a whole will serve as a
broad introduction for students and newcomers as well as delighting
the scientifically literate general reader.
