This book provides an interdisciplinary approach to one of the most
fascinating and important open questions in science: What is
quantum mechanics really talking about? In the last decades quantum
mechanics has given rise to a new quantum technological era, a
revolution taking place today especially within the field of
quantum information processing; which goes from quantum
teleportation and cryptography to quantum computation. Quantum
theory is probably our best confirmed physical theory. However, in
spite of its great empirical effectiveness it stands today still
without a universally accepted physical representation that allows
us to understand its relation to the world and reality.The novelty
of the book comes from the multiple perspectives put forward by top
researchers in quantum mechanics, from Europe as well as North and
South America, discussing the meaning and structure of the theory
of quanta. The book comprises in a balanced manner physical,
philosophical, logical and mathematical approaches to quantum
mechanics and quantum information. Going from quantum
superpositions and entanglement to dynamics and the problem of
identity; from quantum logic, computation and quasi-set theory to
the category approach and teleportation; from realism and
empiricism to operationalism and instrumentalism; the book
considers from different angles some of the most intriguing
questions in the field.From Buenos Aires to Brussels and Cagliari,
from Florence to Florianopolis, the interaction between different
groups is reflected in the many different articles. This book is
interesting not only to the specialists but also to the general
public attempting to get a grasp on some of the most fundamental
questions of present quantum physics.
