Foundations Of Quantum Theory Revisited

A. N. Mitra

abstract: After giving a panoramic view of the " text-book " interpretation of the new quantum mechanics, as a sequel to the old quantum theory, the conceptual basis of quantum theory since the Copenhagen Interpretation is reviewed in the context of various proposals since Einstein and Niels Bohr, designed to throw light on possible new facets bearing on its foundations, the key issues to its inherent "incompleteness" being A) measurement, and B) quantum non-locality. A related item on measurement, namely Quantum Zeno (as well as anti-Zeno) effect is also reviewed briefly. The inputs for the new facets are from some key Indian experts : S.M. Roy, V. Singh ; D. Home; B. Misra; C.S. Unnikrishnan
