About this book

In The Foundations of Quantum Mechanics - Historical Analysis and Open Questions, leading Italian researchers involved in different aspects of the foundations and history of quantum mechanics are brought together in an interdisciplinary debate. The book therefore presents an invaluable overview of the state of Italian work in the field at this moment, and of the open problems that still exist in the foundations of the theory.
Audience: Physicists, logicians, mathematicians and epistemologists whose research concerns the historical analysis of quantum mechanics.

Reviews

`I recommend the book to every physicist, mathematician, logician, epistemologist and philosopher whose research is in connection with the fundamental problems or history of quantum mechanics.'
Acta Sci. Mathematica (1996)
