From No-signaling to Spontaneous Localization Theories
International Journal of Quantum Foundations 5:1-10 (2019)
Abstract
GianCarlo Ghirardi passed away on June 1st, 201. He would have turned 83 on October 28, 2018. He was without any doubt one of the most prominent theoretical physicists working on the foundation and the philosophy of quantum mechanics. In this paper I review some of his achievements and underline how his research influenced the philosophy of physics community.Author's Profile
