| Title | A New Foundation of Physical Theories |
| Author(s) | Ludwig, G??nther;Thurler, G??rald |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006. |
| Description | XI, 178 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Written in the tradition of G. Ludwig???s groundbreaking works, this book aims to clarify and formulate more precisely the fundamental ideas of physical theories. By introducing a basic descriptive language of simple form, in which it is possible to formulate recorded facts, ambiguities of physical theories are avoided as much as possible. In this approach the field of physics that should be described by a theory is determined by basic concepts only, i.e. concepts that can be explained without a theory. In this context the authors introduce a new concept of idealization and review the process of discovering new concepts. They believe that, when the theories are formulated within an axiomatic basis, solutions can be found to many difficult problems such as the interpretation of physical theories, the relations between theories as well as the introduction of physical concepts. The book addresses both physicists and philosophers of science and should encourage the reader to contribute to the understanding of the lasting core of physical knowledge about the real structures of the world |

| Title | An Axiomatic Basis for Quantum Mechanics : Volume 2 Quantum Mechanics and Macrosystems |
| Author(s) | Ludwig, G??nther |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1987. |
| Description | X, 244 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In the first volume we based quantum mechanics on the objective description of macroscopic devices. The further development of the quantum mechanics of atoms, molecules, and collision processes has been described in [2]. In this context also the usual description of composite systems by tensor products of Hilbert spaces has been introduced. This method can be formally extrapolated to systems composed of "many" ele?? mentary systems, even arbitrarily many. One formerly had the opinion that this "extrapolated quantum mechanics" is a more comprehensive theory than the objec?? tive description of macrosystems, an opinion which generated unsurmountable diffi?? culties for explaining the measuring process. With respect to our foundation of quan?? tum mechanics on macroscopic objectivity, this opinion would mean that our founda?? tion is no foundation at all. The task of this second volume is to attain a compatibility between the objective description of macrosystems and an extrapolated quantum mechanics. Thus in X we establish the "statistical mechanics" of macrosystems as a theory more compre?? hensive than an extrapolated quantum mechanics. On this basis we solve the problem of the measuring process in quantum mechan?? ics, in XI developing a theory which describes the measuring process as an interaction between microsystems and a macroscopic device. This theory also allows to calculate "in principle" the observable measured by a device. Neither an incorporation of consciousness nor a mysterious imagination such as "collapsing" wave packets are necessary |
