图书简介：
 
Quantum theory underpins much of modern physics and its implications draw the attention of industry, academia and public funding agencies. However there are many unsettled conceptual and philosophical problems in the interpretation of quantum mechanics which are a matter of extensive debate. These hotly debated topics include the meaning of the wave function, the nature of the quantum objects, the role of the observer, the non-locality of the quantum world, and the emergence of classicality from the quantum domain. Containing chapters written by eminent researchers from the fields of physics and philosophy, this book provides interdisciplinary, comprehensive and up-to-date perspectives of the problems related to the interpretation of quantum theory. It is ideal for academic researchers in physics and philosophy working on the ontology of quantum mechanics.
• The chapters are self-contained, and do not require advanced mathematical knowledge
• Contains comprehensive coverage of the problems and interpretations of quantum mechanics providing non-specialised readers with an introduction to the subject matter
• Up-to-date information from experts in the field enables the reader to become acquainted with the current philosophical debate about quantum theory
