The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2016
Abstract/Sommario: This book presents the deterministic view of quantum mechanics developed by Nobel Laureate Gerard 't Hooft. Dissatisfied with the uncomfortable gaps in the way conventional quantum mechanics meshes with the classical world, 't Hooft has revived the old hidden variable ideas, but now in a much more systematic way than usual. In this, quantum mechanics is viewed as a tool rather than a theory. The book presents examples of models that are classical in essence, but can be analysed by the ...; [leggi tutto]
