John S. Bell on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Electronic book text)

This book is the most complete collection of John S Bell''s research papers, review articles and lecture notes on the foundations of quantum mechanics. Some of this material has hitherto been difficult to access. The book also appears in a paperback edition, aimed at students and young researchers. This volume will be very useful to researchers in the foundations and applications of quantum mechanics. Contents: (1) On the Problem of Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics; (2) On the EinsteinOCoPodolskyOCoRosen Paradox; (3) The Moral Aspect of Quantum Mechanics; (4) Introduction to the Hidden-Variable Question; (5) The Measurement Theory of Everett and de Broglie''s Pilot Wave; (6) Subject and Object; (7) On Wave Packet Reduction in the ColemanOCoHepp Model; (8) The Theory of Local Beables; (9) How to Teach Special Relativity; (10) EinsteinOCoPodolskyOCoRosen Experiments; (11) Free Variables and Local Causality; (12) AtomicOCoCascade Photons and QuantumOCoMechanical Nonlocality; (13) de BroglieOCoBohm, DelayedOCoChoice, DoubleOCoSlit Experiment, and Density Matrix; (14) Quantum Mechanics for Cosmologists; (15) Bertlmann''s Socks and the Nature of Reality; (16) On the Impossible Pilot Wave; (17) Beables for Quantum Field Theory; (18) EPR Correlations and EPW Distributions; (19) Are There Quantum Jumps?; (20) Six Possible Worlds of Quantum Mechanics; (21) Against ''Measurement'' (22) La Nouvelle Cuisine; (23) In Memory of George Francis FitzGerald.
