Quantum Theory
built 644 days ago
Quantum Theory is never going to be an easy, non-mathematical subject to study. Having said that, the first part of Prof Bohm's work, consisting of some 170 pages, makes a concerted effort to not only explain the experimental basis of quantum theory, but ... to explain why it is reasonable compared to classical physics. Whilst all books claim to be able to pull off this feat using "the minimum of mathematics", Prof Bohm does a much better job than most.

Quantum Theory, Black Holes and Inflation will be of great interest to all those involved in these vibrant areas of research. Its combination of mathematical background and the most successful modern applications of the theory make it accessible and interesting to both postgraduate students and more experienced researchers in the field.

An important contribution to the Quantum Theory of Conciousness comes from the collaboration of Sir Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff. According to Penrose and Hameroff, conciousness appears during the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) of the Wave Function in the Microtubules of the brain's neurons. This definition, even though it seems to be limited to the brain... allows the possibility of conciousness to exists in the Quantum Field itself, outside the body.

From the beginning, the attitude towards the apparent paradoxes in quantum theory was characterized by the emphasis on the features of wholeness in the elementary processes, connected with the quantum of action. The element of wholeness [has] the consequence that, in the study of quantum processes, any experimental inquiry implies an interaction between the atomic object and the measuring tools which, although essential for the characterization of the phenomena, evades a separate account . . . (Bohr, 1963, pp. 78, 60).

Abstract: Quantum information theory is the study of the achievable limits of information processing within quantum mechanics. Many different types of information can be accommodated within quantum mechanics, including classical information, coherent quantum information, and entanglement. Exploring the rich variety of capabilities allowed by these types of information is the subject of quantum information theory, and of this Dissertation. (Update)

Why didn't Bohr attempt an interpretation of quantum theory directly in terms of new 'relational properties'? Bohr steadfastly denied, for some reason, the possibility for devising new non-classical descriptions of everyday objects. He held that 'all new experience makes its appearance within the frame of our customary points of view and forms of perception' (1934/1961, p. 1), and limited such points of view to classical conceptions, i.e. those taken over in pre-quantum theories (see, for example, 1934/1961, p. 16).
