A realistic model for completing Quantum Mechanics

Venerdì 13 giugno alle 11, nell'aula conferenze del Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia, il dott. Marcello Baldo tiene il seminario "A realistic model for completing Quantum Mechanics" organizzato congiuntamente da INFN Sezione di Catania, Laboratori Nazionali del Sud e Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia dell'Università di Catania.

Abstract:
Quantum Mechanics (QM) is probably the most successful theory in the history of physics. It is usually stated that its mathematical formalism is based on the Schrödinger equation, which is assumed to describe all the physical phenomena (at least at non-relativistic level). However, there are physical processes, notably the measurements, where the Schrödinger equation is violated. To overcome these difficulties, the standard formulation of QM includes a set of postulates suggested by phenomenology. It is legitimate to ask if it would be possible to extend the formalism to incorporate these postulates. Many proposals in this direction have been presented in the literature, with limited success. In the seminar, a model will be presented where these postulates and the 'paradoxes' of QM find a natural explanation.

Il seminario è rivolto in particolare a ricercatori, studenti di laurea magistrale e di dottorato, ma è aperto a tutte e tutti coloro che desiderano approfondire questo affascinante argomento.
