Quantum Uncertainties: Recent and Future Experiments and Interpretations is a 1988 edited volume (NATO ASI Series B: Physics, vol. 162) arising from a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Quantum Violations" held in 1986 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was edited by William M. Honig, David W. Kraft, and Emilio Panarella and published by Plenum Press (Springer).

Overview

The volume collects research papers on the foundations and interpretation of quantum mechanics, with an emphasis on experiments (recent and proposed) that probe the limits of standard quantum theory. Topics include tests of particle distinguishability via laser interference, causal and quantum-potential interpretations of relativistic quantum mechanics, EPR-type experiments and Bell's theorem, nonlinear behaviour of light, and the "effective photon" hypothesis.

About the editors

William M. Honig, David W. Kraft, and Emilio Panarella were physicists active in the foundations-of-physics community; Panarella is known for his work on the effective-photon hypothesis and nonlinear optics.
