There is no sharp dividing line between the foundations of physics and philosophy of physics. This is especially true for quantum mechanics. The debate on the interpretation of quantum mechanics has raged in both the scientific and philosophical communities since the 1920s and continues to this day. (We shall understand the unqualified term ‘quantum mechanics’ to mean the mathematical formalism, i. e. laws and rules by which empirical predictions and theoretical advances are made. ) There is a popular rendering of quantum mechanics which has been publicly endorsed by some well known physicists which says that quantum mechanics is not ...

Reviews for Quantum Causality
From the reviews: “This text on the derivation of both the time dependent and time independent Schrodinger equations is breaking new ground concerning the single, 2D, and 3D quantum mechanical systems. It is very well written and superbly written for both student and expert … . the text will be of great value for future physicists, chemists, and other ... Read more
