THE FOUNDATIONS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS
Cesena, Italy 4 - 9 October 2004
edited by Claudio Garola, Arcangelo Rossi & Sandro Sozzo (University of Lecce, Italy)
This volume provides a unique overview of recent Italian studies on the foundations of quantum mechanics and related historical, philosophical and epistemological topics. A gathering of scholars from diverse cultural backgrounds, the conference provided a forum for a fascinating exchange of ideas and perspectives on a range of open questions in quantum mechanics. The varied nature of the papers in this volume attests to the achievement of that aim with many contributions providing original solutions to established problems by taking into account recommendations from different disciplines.
