2. Realism with Quantum Faces: The Leggett–Garg Inequalities as a Case Study for Feyerabend's Views.

Abstract

In this paper I attempt to broaden Feyerabend scholarship by asking whether and how Feyerabend's philosophy of science, in particular his commitments to realism and pluralism about scientific theories as well as anarchism about scientific methods, is borne out in multidisciplinary research concerning the Leggett–Garg inequalities. These inequalities were derived explicitly to be a temporal analogue to Bell's inequalities: the viability of macroscopic realism is tested against the predictions of quantum mechanics by performing a series measurements on a macroscopic variable of one system at different time intervals, then evaluating correlations among resultant values. In the nearly forty years since Leggett and Garg's paper, questions continue to be raised whether common tests of these inequalities reveal genuine violations or merely experimental disturbances. There is also much debate about what genuine violations in fact signify, if (as most agree) they are not straight-forwardly analogous to Bell tests. Taking this fascinating and as yet largely unsettled episode from physics as a case study, I derive three Feyerabendian lessons that demonstrate the relevance of his views even today.

14. Review of Konrad Kleinnecht's Werner Heisenberg: Reality and Its Order.

Author

Subjects
*LIFE sciences, *PHILOSOPHY of science, *PHYSICAL sciences, *QUANTUM theory, *QUANTUM mechanics
Abstract

The life sciences must stand in a complementary relation to the physical sciences and cannot be subsumed by or reduced to them because there is a notion of complementarity also at play I within i the first-order life science (biology) as well as the first-order physical science (quantum mechanics). But any parallel one might see between Heisenberg's ordering of scientific disciplines and the old familiar intertheoretic reduction exercises stop here: Heisenberg does not proceed from the quantum-grounded physical sciences to biology, psychology, and so on. Konrad Kleinnecht, ed., Werner Heisenberg: Reality and Its Order, with introduction by H. Rechenberg and commentary by E. P. Fischer, translated by M. B. Rumscheidt, N. Lukens, and I. Heisenberg.

20. Jordan’s Derivation of Blackbody Fluctuations

Author

Bacciagaluppi, G., Crull, Elise, Maroney, Owen, Sub History and Philosophy of Science, and History of Science

Abstract

The celebrated Dreimännerarbeit by Born, Heisenberg and Jordan contains a matrix-mechanical derivation by Jordan of Planck’s formula for blackbody fluctuations. Jordan appears to have considered this to be one of his finest contributions to quantum theory, but the status of his derivation is puzzling. In our Dreimenschenarbeit, we show how to understand what Jordan was doing in the double context of a Boltzmannian approach to statistical mechanics and of the early ‘statistical interpretation’ of matrix mechanics.

22. Yes, More Decoherence: A Reply to Critics

Author

Crull, Elise and Crull, Elise

Abstract

A few years ago I published an article titled "Less interpretation and more decoherence in quantum gravity and inflationary cosmology" (Crull, 2015) which generated replies from three pairs of authors: Vassallo and Esfeld (2015), Okon and Sudarsky (2016), and Fortin and Lombardi (forth). Here I respond to criticisms raised by these authors.

Abstract

Translation and brief introduction in cooperation with Elise Crull.; The publication of the EPR paper in 1935 prompted Heisenberg to draft a manuscript on the question of the completability of quantum mechanics (which was published only posthumously). We give here the English translation of this manuscript with a brief introduction and bibliography.

27. Epistemic Structural Realism and Poincare's Philosophy of Science

Author

Brading, Katherine, Crull, Elise, Brading, Katherine, and Crull, Elise

Abstract

Recent discussions of structuralist approaches to scientific theories have stemmed primarily from Worrall's (1989), in which he defends a position (since characterized `epistemic structural realism') whose historical roots he attributes to Poincare. In the renewed debate inspired by Worrall, it is thus not uncommon to find Poincare's name associated with various structuralist positions. However, Poincare's structuralism is deeply entwined with both his conventionalism and his idealism, and in this paper we explore the nature of these dependencies. What comes out in the end is not only a clearer picture of Poincare's position regarding structuralism, but also two arguments for versions of epistemic structuralism different in kind from that given by Worrall.
