Its key elements — namely, quantum superposi- tions and entanglement — are being used with great success at the fore- front of today’s most powerful and challenging technological innovations, such as quantum computation, quantum information, quantum sensoring and quantum cryptography. Its formalism is systematically giving rise to new multidisciplinary theoretical domains like quantum biology, quantum cognition, quantum natural language processing and quantum economics. However, regardless of this amazing productive capacity, it is still consid- ered by the majority of the scientific community as a theory which has not been yet properly understood. It is for this reason that till today, its foundational aspects continue to raise passionate debates and discussions not only within physical, but also within philosophical, mathematical and logical circles. This book is part of a series which addresses foundational questions about quantum mechanics and its applications in an interdisciplinary manner considering simultaneously physical, philosophical, mathematical and logical perspectives and analysis. Going from philosophy of quantum mechanicstoquantumlogic,fromcategoricalapproachestoquantuminfor- mationprocessing,the originalityofthis book residesinthe multiplicity of approaches which contribute to the common aim to grasp the meaning of thetheoryofquanta.Webelievethattheadvancementofsuchunderstand- ing will be possible notby fragmentingthe theory into smaller andsmaller separatedtopicsofresearch,butontheverycontrary,throughthecommon sharinganddiscussionofmultiple perspectivescoming fromdifferentfields and disciplines. Asinthepreviouseditions,thenoveltyofthebookcomesfromthemul- tiple perspectives put forward by top researchers in quantum mechanics, from Europe as well as North and South America, discussing the meaning and structure of the theory of quanta. The book comprises in a balanced October17,2018 10:19 ProbingtheMeaningofQuantumMechanics 9inx6in b3421-fm pagevi vi manner physical, philosophical, logical and mathematical approaches to quantum mechanics and quantum information. From quantum superposi- tionsandentanglementtodynamicsandtheproblemofidentity,fromquan- tum logic, computationandquasi-settheoryto categoricalapproachesand teleportation, from realism and empiricism to operationalism and instru- mentalism, the book touches from different viewpoints some of the most intriguing questions about quanta. From Buenos Aires to Brussels and Cagliari, from Florence to Floriano´polis, the interaction between different groupsisreflectedinthe many articlesapproachingdifferentquestionsand problems.Thisbookisinterestingnotonlytothespecialistsbutalsotothe general public attempting to get a graspon some of the most fundamental questions of present quantum physics.
