Abstract:
We attempt to review the development of physics in its historical order: classical dynamics; optics and electromagnetic theory followed naturally by the special theory of relativity; the general theory of relativity; from another direction, the kinetic theory of gases, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics which led to the discovery of the quantum theory; atomic physics that led to quantum mechanics; the theoretical and experimental studies of elementary particle physics. Some efforts were made to bring out the basic concepts in these theories and their changes, namely, the abandoning of the absolute time and simultaneity, simultaneous exact knowledge of position and momentum of a particle and determinism of Newtonian physics in the relativity theory and quantum mechanics; the concept of quantized field and unified fields. The interplay between experiments and theories in the development of physics was summarized by a table at the end of the article.

Abstract:
AbstractIn 1981, Takeuti introduced quantum set theory as the quantum counterpart of Boolean valued models of set theory by constructing a model of set theory based on quantum logic represented by the lattice of closed subspaces in a Hilbert space and showed that appropriate quantum counterparts of ZFC axioms hold in the model. Here, Takeuti's formulation is extended to construct a model of set theory based on the logic represented by the lattice of projections in an arbitrary von Neumann algebra. A transfer principle is established that enables us to transfer theorems of ZFC to their quantum counterparts holding in the model. The set of real numbers in the model is shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the set of self-adjoint operators affiliated with the von Neumann algebra generated by the logic. Despite the difficulty pointed out by Takeuti that equality axioms do not generally hold in quantum set theory, it is shown that equality axioms hold for any real numbers in the model. It is also shown that any observational proposition in quantum mechanics can be represented by a corresponding statement for real numbers in the model with the truth value consistent with the standard formulation of quantum mechanics, and that the equality relation between two real numbers in the model is equivalent with the notion of perfect correlation between corresponding observables (self-adjoint operators) in quantum mechanics. The paper is concluded with some remarks on the relevance to quantum set theory of the choice of the implication connective in quantum logic.

Abstract:
Usual interpretations of the quantum theory, beginning with Bohr's interpretation, consider that randomness in quanlum mechanics arises from (objeclive) restrictions to our capacity of making precise measurements of the corresponding state variables. I show that this assumption is problematic and leaves open important questions concerning the role and nature of quantum randomness. On the basis of a concept of state introduced elsewhere and on the basis of a distinction between the principles of separability and locality in quantum mechanics, I suggest in this paper a different sense in which quantum randomness is objective. In order to carry out the proposed task a distinction is made between two different types of objective randomness. Objective epistemic randomness arises from the limitations that the physical structure of the world imposes upon our possibilities of coming to know (measure) this structure. Objective non-epistemic randomness or systemic randomness is to be expressed in terms of a state description in a fundamental theory of physics. It is shown that the non-Boolean structure of properties of quantum theory, as this structure has been constructed and interpreted in Martínez 1991a, can be inlerpreled as an expression of the non-separability of the theory, Thus, the irreducibility of the transition probabilities that generate the non-Boolean structure of properties can be interpreted in this way as systemic randomness. In the case of quantum mechanics systemic randomness and non-separability are two sides of the same coin.

This article explores the relationships between the philosophical foundations of quantum field theory, the currently dominant form of quantum physics, and Deleuze's concept of the virtual, most especially in relation to the idea of chaos found in Deleuze and Guattari's What is Philosophy?. Deleuze and Guattari appear to derive this idea partly from the philosophical conceptuality of quantum field theory, in particular the concept of virtual particle formation. The article then goes on to discuss, from this perspective, the relationships between philosophy and science, and between their respective ways of confronting chaos, a great enemy but also a great friend of thought, and its greatest ally in its struggle against opinion.

Abstract:
The problem with quantum gravity is usually presented as if it would be difficult to construct even a single quantum theory of relativistic gravity. This is shown to be wrong. A straightforward approach using standard, well-studied methods allows to construct mathematically well-defined quantum theories which give, in a certain classical limit, the Einstein equations of GR: GR may be transformed into a field theory on a fixed background by breaking diffeomorphism symmetry using harmonic coordinates. The resulting field theory may be regularized using standard lattice approximation techniques. The result is a well-defined canonical theory with a finite number of degrees of freedom, which can be quantized without problems in a canonical way. Why such a straightforward way to quantize gravity is simply ignored? We identify missing explanation of relativistic symmetry as an important argument, and propose a solution. evaluate possible explanations why this simple possibility to construct a theory of quantum gravity is ignored. While a lot of different metaphysical and sociological reasons play a role, we identify as a main point a preference of the scientific community for the relational philosophy behind the spacetime interpretation of GR, in opposition to the Newtonian concept of absolute space and time (substantivalism). We conclude that the quantization of gravity is not a problem of physics, but a metaphysical problem. It is a problem of the relational philosophy of space and time in the tradition of Descartes and Leibniz, which is the base of the spacetime interpretation of GR, because this philosophy is incompatible with the known examples of theories of quantum gravity.

Quantum information theory, an interdisciplinary field that includes computer science, information theory, philosophy, cryptography, and entropy, has various applications for quantum calculus. Inequalities and entropy functions have a strong association with convex functions. In this study, we prove quantum midpoint type inequalities, quantum trapezoidal type inequalities, and the quantum Simpson’s type inequality for differentiable convex functions using a new parameterized q-integral equality. The newly formed inequalities are also proven to be generalizations of previously existing inequities. Finally, using the newly established inequalities, we present some applications for quadrature formulas.

Abstract:
Recent tremendous development of quantum information theory has led to a number of quantum technological projects, e.g. quantum random generators. This development had stimulated a new wave of interest in quantum foundations. One of the most intriguing problems of quantum foundations is the elaboration of a consistent and commonly accepted interpretation of a quantum state. Closely related problem is the clarification of the notion of quantum randomness and its interrelation with classical randomness. In this short review, we shall discuss basics of classical theory of randomness (which by itself is very complex and characterized by diversity of approaches) and compare it with irreducible quantum randomness. We also discuss briefly “digital philosophy”, its role in physics (classical and quantum) and its coupling to the information interpretation of quantum mechanics (QM).
