This title is a self-contained follow-up to Understanding Our
Unseen Reality: Solving Quantum Riddles (2015). Intended for the
general reader but including more advanced material and an appendix
of technical references for physics students and researchers, it
reviews the basics of the transactional interpretation of quantum
mechanics in its newer incarnation as a fully relativistic, realist
interpretation of quantum theory, while embarking on further
explorations of the implications of quantum theory. This
interpretation is applied to new experiments and alleged
'paradoxes' that are found to be fully explicable once various
misconceptions are identified.There is currently much disagreement
about the meaning of quantum theory, as well as confusion about the
implications of various experiments such as 'weak measurements,'
'quantum eraser,' and delayed choice. This book provides a clear
way forward, presenting new developments and elaborating a
promising interpretational approach that has completely nullified
earlier objections (such as the Maudlin objection). It also
explains why some prominent competing interpretations, such as
'decoherence' in an Everettian ('Many Worlds') approach, do not
work as advertised.Adventures in Quantumland: Exploring Our Unseen
Reality offers a fully relativistic interpretation of quantum
mechanics with no discontinuity between non-relativistic and
relativistic domains and shows how quantum theory allows for free
will and for reconciliation of science and spiritual
traditions.Related Link(s)
The structural aspects of composite quantum systems in the
foundation, interpretation and application of quantum theory is an
increasingly prominent topic of physics research. As an emerging
field, it seeks to understand the origins of the classical world of
experience from the quantum level.Quantum Structural Studies
presents conceptual fundamentals and mathematical methods for
investigating the structuring of quantum systems into subsystems.
Split into four sections, the topics covered include the historical
and philosophical aspects of quantum structures, specific
interpretive approaches and ontologies, and alternative
methodological approaches to quantum mechanics. Questions addressed
are: Specialists, graduate students and researchers seeking an
introduction to the field of emergent structures and new directions
for research and experimentation can use this book to find
up-to-date representative texts and reviews.
This captivating book presents a new, unified picture of the
everyday world around us. It provides rational, scientific support
for the idea that there may well be more to our reality than meets
the eye...Accessible and engaging for readers with no prior
knowledge of quantum physics, author Ruth Kastner draws on the
popular transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics to
explain our 'quantum reality.' Her book focuses on modern-day
examples and deals with big philosophical questions as well as
ideas from physics.If you have any interest in quantum physics,
this book is for you - whether you be a physics student or
academic, or simply an inquisitive reader who wants to delve deeper
into the reality of the world around you. Dr Ruth Kastner has
received two National Science Foundation awards for the study of
interpretational issues in quantum theory.

Providing a comprehensive exposition of the transactional
interpretation (TI) of quantum mechanics, this book sheds new light
on long-standing problems in quantum theory such as the physical
meaning of the 'Born Rule' for the probabilities of measurement
results, and demonstrates the ability of TI to solve the
measurement problem of quantum mechanics. It provides robust
refutations of various objections and challenges to TI, such as
Maudlin's inconsistency challenge, and explicitly extends TI into
the relativistic domain, providing new insight into the basic
compatibility of TI with relativity and the meaning of 'virtual
particles.' It breaks new ground in approaches to interpreting
quantum theory and presents a compelling new ontological picture of
quantum reality. This substantially revised and updated second
edition is ideal for researchers and graduate students interested
in the philosophy of physics and the interpretation of quantum
mechanics.
