The classical-quantum correspondence / Benjamin H. Feintzeig
Material type: TextSeries: Publisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2022Description: (112 pages) Illustrations 1 online resourceISBN: 9781009043557Subject(s): Physics | C*-algebras | Quantum theoryDDC classification: 530.01 Online resources: Click here to access online | Click here to access online Summary: This Element provides an entry point for philosophical engagement with quantization and the classical limit. It introduces the mathematical tools of C*-algebras as they are used to compare classical and quantum physics. It then employs those tools to investigate philosophical issues surrounding theory change in physics. It discusses examples in which quantization bears on the topics of reduction, structural continuity, analogical reasoning, and theory construction. In doing so, it demonstrates that the precise mathematical tools of algebraic quantum theory can aid philosophers of science and philosophers of physicsItem type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
