After a self-contained introduction to the essential ideas of vector spaces and linear operators, a bridge is built between the concepts and mathematics of classical physics, and the new mathematical framework employed in quantum mechanics. The axioms of nonrelativistic quantum theory are introduced, and shown to lead to a variety of new conceptual problems. Subjects discussed include state-vector reduction, the problem of measurement, quantum entanglement, the Kochen-Specker theorem, and the Bell inequalities. The book includes twenty-five problems with worked solutions.

Is Consciousness a Quantum Phenomenon? There is now a more satisfactory range of ideas available [in the field of consciousness studies]... They involve mostly quantum objects called Bose-Einstein condensates (see Marshall , or Zohar ), which may be capable of forming ephemeral but extended structures in the brain ( Pessa ). Marshall's original idea (based on the work of ) was that the condensates which comprise the physical basis of mind, form from activity of vibrating molecules (dipoles) in nerve cell membranes. One of us ( Clarke ) has found theoretical evidence that the distribution of energy levels for such arrays of molecules prevents this happening in the way that Marshall first thought. However, the occurrence of similar condensates centring around the microtubules that are an important part of the structure of every cell, including nerve cells, remains a theoretical possibility ( del Giudice et al. Hameroff has pointed out that single-cell organisms such as 'paramecium' can perform quite complicated actions normally thought to need a brain. He suggests that their 'brain' is in their microtubules. Shape changes in the constituent proteins (tubulin) could subserve computational functions and would involve quantum phenomena of the sort envisaged by del Giudice et al.

Quantum Theory of Immortality Discussions of QTI and related topics 1. The paper "Does the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics imply immortality?" 2. Is the Quantum Theory of Immortality valid? Discussions with Rainer Plaga, Jacques Mallah, Vic Stenger, Bruno Marchal, Max Tegmark, Gilles Henri, Wei Dai, Russell Standish and others. Looks at the assumptions behind, and problems with, the theory and identifies areas for future research: How does consciousness flow under MWI? What is the nature of 'self' - can it be eroded and regenerated? 3. The Quantum Theory of Immortality and the Self Sampling Assumption James Higgo, Bruno Marchal, Russell Standish and George Levy attempt to persuade Jacques Mallah of the validity of QTI and the inapplicability of the SSA in the circumstances where the S is unique and very unusual. 4. Discussions about the Many Worlds Interpretation Discussions, links to papers by Tegmark, Deutsch and Plaga, plus an overview of other areas of interest: How does MWI compare with other interpretations in the simplicity with which it resolves paradoxes? Does the theory of computation lend evidence to MWI? Are there other philosophical paradoxes which could be resolved using MWI? What could the physics community learn from Lewis's Plurality of Worlds 5. A modest proposal

91. Karl Popper, 1902--1994 Philosopher of science, author of quantum theory and the Schism in Physics http://www.santafe.edu/~shalizi/notebooks/popper.html

Notebooks Karl Popper, 19021994 14 Apr 2003 14:00 Austrian-English philosopher, dead, alas, just as I began these notebooks. Popper was primarily a philosopher of science; his system, that of "conjectures and refutations," of falsification, was elegant, coherent, and basically right-headed. Similar to that of such earlier methodologists as William Whewell and Claude Bernard (as Popper was among the first to admit), it was one of only three which, in this century, actual scientists have bothered to pay attention to, and easily the best of them, both in its intellectual quality and its effects. (The other two were the system of Kuhn, who set out to turn Popper upside down; and Machian positivism and its descendants, including the Vienna Circle of logical positivists , who Popper hung out with, but on many important points disagreed with. Positivism was restrictive but, aside from encouraging the behaviorists, mostly harmless; the latter, through no fault of Kuhn's own, has led to no good at all. - Of course, many scientists have been forced to pay attention to dialectical materialism, but on purely prudential, not intellectual, grounds; that doesn't count.) Even now, querying scientists about what they're up to is very likely to provoke more or less Popperian responses. That said, there are enough problems with it that I, for one, can't really accept it, and there are very few proper Popperians left among professional philosophers of science. On the other hand, his critism of such pretenders to scientific status as Marxism, the "sociology of knowledge" and, especially

th November, 1998 Does the 'many-worlds' interpretation of quantum mechanics imply immortality? James Higgo 18 Harcourt Terrace London SW10 9JR e-mail j@higgo.com Abstract The 'Many-Worlds' Interpretation of Quantum Physics The weirdness of quantum physics can be seen in the famous parallel-slit experiment. This shows that individual photons seem to split into two particles which can nevertheless interfere with each other as if they were waves. The 'Copenhagen Interpretation' of the phenomena and the equations which describe them, agreed at the 1927 Solvay conference, essentially says that the 'wave packet' somehow associated with a particle 'collapses' when it is observed - this necessitates a relationship between the observer's consciousness and the particle. The MWI, on the other hand, holds that the equations used to predict quantum mechanical events continue to hold after observation - it is just that all things happen simultaneously, but due to 'decoherence' we do not actually see, for example, a radioactive source both decay and not decay. For an explanation of how this implies parallel universes, see Vaidman (1996). There is one way of proving that the MWI is true and the Copenhagen and other interpretations are wrong. Unfortunately, the experimenter can only prove it to himself, and never persuade anyone else of its validity.

Home Contact Us Site Map Search Canada's magazine on higher education April 2005 Why nobody understands quantum theory by Sheilla Jones Quantum theory can accurately be described as the most successful theory of modern science. It spawned the technological marvels we now take very much for granted, from nuclear power to DVD players to magnetic resonance imaging. Yet behind all this progress lurks a dark shadow because there is no rational, sensible explanation for why the quantum world behaves as it does. The physics of our everyday or macroscopic world has quite clear rules that are well understood. A table, for instance, cannot exist simultaneously in two different locations. And a person can drive from the condo to the supermarket; he or she cannot be in the condo checking the grocery list and then appear instantaneously at the deli counter in the supermarket. "Under the new rules of scientific inquiry, scientists reserved the right to declare certain questions as illegitimate." The microscopic and macroscopic worlds operate with very different sets of rules, but the physics community has never been able to reconcile the quantum world with the everyday world.

Anarchist Meditations on N. Herbert's Quantum Reality: Beyond the New Physics By Hakim Bey 1. Scientific worldviews or "paradigms" can influence or be influenced by social reality. Clearly the Ptolemaic universe mirrors theocentric & monarchic structures. The Newtonian/Cartesian/mechanical universe mirrors rationalistic social assumptions, which in turn underlie nationalism, capitalism, communism, etc. As for Relativity Theory, it has only recently begun to reflect or be reflected by certain social realities. But these relations are still obscure, embedded in multinational conspiracies, the metaphysics of modern banking, international terrorism, & various newly emergent telecommunications-based technologies. 3. Quantum Mechanics (QM), considered as the source of such a paradigm, at first seems to lack any social ramifications or parallels, almost as if its very weirdness deprives it of all connnections with "everyday" life or social reality. However, a few authors (like F. Capra, or Science-Fictioneers like R. Rucker or R. Anton Wilson) have seen Quantum Theory both as a vindication of certain "oriental philosophies" & also as prophetic of certain social changes which might loosely & carelessly be lumped under the heading "Aquarian." 4. The "mystical" systems evoked by our contemplation of Quantum facts tend to be non-dualist and non-theocentric, dynamic rather than static: Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, Tantra (both Hindu & Buddhist), alchemy, etc. Einstein, who opposed Quantum theory, believed in a God who refused to play dice with the universe, a basically Judeo-Protestant deity who sets up a cosmic speed limit for light. The Quantum enthusiasts, by contrast, prefer a dancing Shiva, a principle of cosmic

web hosting domain names photo sharing Quantum Philosophy by John Horgan New experiments - real and imagined - are probing ever more deeply into the surreal quantum realm COSMIC THOUGHT EXPERIMENT calls for measuring individual photons from a quasar whose image has been split in two by a galaxy acting as a "gravitational lens." In a sense, the way the experiment is carried out now determines whether each photon -billions of years ago - acted like a particle, going one way or the other around the galaxy and ending up in one of the two detectors (a and b),or like a wave, going both ways around the galaxy and generating an interference pattern (c). In ancient Greece, Plato tried to think an talk his way to the truth in extended dialogues with his disciples.Today physicists such as Leonard Mandel of the University of Rochester operate in a somewhat different fashion.He and his students,who are more likely to wear t-shirts and laser proof goggles than robes and sandals,spend countless hours bent over a large metal table trying to align a laser with a complex network of mirrors,lenses, beam splitters and light detectors. Plato Yet the questions they address in their equipment-jammed laboratory are no less profound than those contemplated by Plato in his grassy glade.What are the limits of human knowledge? Is the physical world shaped in some sense by our perception of it? Is there an element of randomness in the universe,or are all events predetermined?
