Description for The Quantum Labyrinth
Hardback. Deals with the question of whether quantum mechanics can provide a picture of physical reality. This book presents a 'contextual quantum process theory' as a general framework for further interpretation. It outlines several such interpretations, and discusses ensuing problems of completeness and (non)locality. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 297 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 17. Weight in Grams: 597.
