Abstract

This volume gathers together ground-breaking work on the foundations and philosophy of quantum physics, by one of the most brilliant and productive researchers in the field. Rob Clifton died tragically in 2002 at the age of 38; two of his colleagues, themselves leading philosophers of physics, present fourteen of his finest papers here, all of which combine exciting philosophical discussion with rigorous mathematical results. Quantum Entanglements offers inspiration and substantial reward to anyone working on the foundations of quantum theory, with backgrounds in philosophy, physics, or mathematics.
