Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this seminar, we will address fundamental questions about the meaning of quantum mechanics. More specifically, we will critically consider views according to which terms like “quantum states” and “quantum observables” are meaningful in virtue of their representation of physical reality, as well as views according to which such terms are meaningful in virtue of the rules or axioms of the theory or in virtue of the general principles from which these axioms can be derived.
