Overview

Italian researchers involved in different aspects of the foundations and history of quantum mechanics are brought together in an interdisciplinary debate in this text. The book presents an overview of the state of Italian work in the field and of the open problems that still exist in the foundations of the theory. Physicists, logicians, mathematicians and epistemologists whose research concerns the historical analysis of quantum mechanics may find this text to be useful reading.
