Consciousness and quantum mechanics are two great mysteries of our time—and recently scholars have postulated a deeper connection between them. Exploring this possible connection can be fruitful: an analysis of the conscious mind and psychophysical connection can be indispensable in understanding quantum mechanics and solving the notorious measurement problem, and there is also likely some kind of intimate connection between quantum mechanics—the most fundamental theory of the physical world—and our efforts to explain, naturalistically, the phenomenon of consciousness.  Meer

At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the wave function, a powerful but mysterious mathematical object which has been a hot topic of debate from its earliest stages.  Meer

This is the first single volume about the collapse theories of quantum mechanics, which is becoming a very active field of research in both physics and philosophy.  Meer

Protective measurements offer an intriguing method for measuring the wave function of a single quantum system. With contributions from leading physicists and philosophers of physics - including two of the original discoverers of this important method - this book explores the concept of protective measurement, investigating its broad applications and deep implications.  Meer
