Variable real number for quantum particles; an application of topos theory to quantum mechanics

John Corbett (14/10/09)

Certain apparently paradoxical features of the standard theory of quantum mechanics: e.g., two slit experiment, non-locality in tests of Bell's theorem, are resolved by using the object of Dedekind real numbers in a spatial topos of sheaves on a quantum state space for the numerical values that physical quantities can take. In this talk, the quantum theory of Galilean relativistic particles of positive mass is discussed.

Back to titles of seminars.
