Microphysical Reality and Quantum Formalism, Vol. 2 is a 1988 edited volume in the Fundamental Theories of Physics series, collecting the proceedings of a conference held in Urbino, Italy, from 25 September to 3 October 1985. It was edited by Alwyn Van der Merwe, Franco Selleri, and Gino Tarozzi and published by D. Reidel.
Overview
The two-volume proceedings gather contributions on the relationship between the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and physical ("microphysical") reality. Topics include the interpretation of the wave function, hidden-variable theories, Bell's inequalities and their experimental tests, the EPR argument, and realist versus orthodox readings of quantum theory — themes central to the foundations-of-physics community around Selleri and van der Merwe.
About the editors
