The program of reconstructing quantum theory based on information-theoretic principles enjoys much popularity in the foundations of physics. Surprisingly, this endeavor has only received very little attention in philosophy.

The superposition principle is one of the most fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. According to the Schrödinger equation, a physical system can be in any linear combination of its possible states.

Workshop

It is well known that the Schrödinger equation can be transformed into the form of a Newton equation, and you get Bohmian dynamics. The Bohmian form can be further transformed and the particle appears as a special, probabilistic fluid. The fluid form…

In this talk, I will give an overview on the 40 years’ long history of quantum communications and show how this field has evolved from a pure theoretical idea into an emerging technology.

In this talk I will briefly review quantum biology, the synthesis of quantum information with biological systems.

The quantum symmetrization procedure used to handle systems of identical quantum particles brings into question whether the elementary constituents of matter, such as electrons, have the fundamental characteristics of persistence and…

Quantum technology employs the ‘spooky’ phenomena of quantum physics such as superposition, randomness and entanglement to process information in a novel way. Quantum optics provides a promising path for both delivering quantum-enhanced technologies…
