Indeterminacy and entanglement: the challenge of quantum mechanics
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 51 (4):597-615 (2000)
| Abstract | I explore the nature of the problem generated by the transition from classical to quantum mechanics, and I survey some of the different responses to this problem. I show briefly how recent work on quantum information over the past ten years has led to a shift of focus, in which the puzzling features of quantum mechanics are seen as a resource to be developed rather than a problem to be solved | |||||||||
