This volume provides a sample of the present research on the
foundations of quantum mechanics and related topics by collecting
the papers of the Italian scholars who attended the conference
entitled "The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics -- Historical
Analysis and Open Questions" (Lecce, 1998). The perspective of the
book is interdisciplinary, and hence philosophical, historical and
technical papers are gathered together so as to allow the reader to
compare different viewpoints and cultural approaches. Most of the
papers confront, directly or indirectly, the objectivity problem,
taking into account the positions of the founders of QM or more
recent developments. More specifically, the technical papers in the
book pay special attention to the interpretation of the experiments
on Bell's inequalities and to decoherence theory, but topics on
unsharp QM, the consistent-history approach, quantum probability
and alternative theories are also discussed. Furthermore, a number
of historical and philosophical papers are devoted to Planck's
Weyl's and Pauli's thought, but topics such as quantum ontology,
predictivity of quantum laws, etc., are also treated.
In The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics - Historical Analysis and
Open Questions, leading Italian researchers involved in different
aspects of the foundations and history of quantum mechanics are
brought together in an interdisciplinary debate. The book therefore
presents an invaluable overview of the state of Italian work in the
field at this moment, and of the open problems that still exist in
the foundations of the theory. Audience: Physicists, logicians,
mathematicians and epistemologists whose research concerns the
historical analysis of quantum mechanics.
