Science Between Myth and History
Science Between Myth and History explores scientific storytelling and its implications on the teaching, practice, and public perception of science. In communicating their science, scientists tend to use historical narratives for important rhetorical purposes. This text explores the implications of doing this.
A Reexamination of Early Debates on the Interpretation of Quantum Theory
"The following dissertation reexamines the emergence and development of alternate formulations and interpretations of quantum theory from the 1920s to the early 1950s. Specifically, Louis de Broglie's alternate wave mechanical interpretation (1923 - 1927) and David Bohm's hidden variables program (1951 - 1952) are examined within their respective contexts of innovation. By presenting a more balanced and nuanced narrative of these 20th century physicists, and their work, subtleties within the scientific exchanges between those engaged in early quantum interpretational debates begin to emerge which can serve to dispel some of the myths that have persisted in the overall historical quantum narr...
Quantum Legacies
The ideas at the root of quantum theory remain stubbornly, famously bizarre: a solid world reduced to puffs of probability; particles that tunnel through walls; cats suspended in zombielike states, neither alive nor dead; and twinned particles that share entangled fates. For more than a century, physicists have grappled with these conceptual uncertainties while enmeshed in the larger uncertainties of the social and political worlds around them, a time pocked by the rise of fascism, cataclysmic world wars, and a new nuclear age. In Quantum Legacies, David Kaiser introduces readers to iconic episodes in physicists’ still-unfolding quest to understand space, time, and matter at their most fun...

Beyond Chance and Credence
Beyond Chance and Credence introduces a new way of thinking of probabilities in science that combines physical and epistemic considerations. Myrvold shows that conceiving of probabilities in this way solves puzzles associated with the use of probability and statistical mechanics.
The Oxford Handbook of the History of Quantum Interpretations
Crucial to most research in physics, as well as leading to the development of inventions such as the transistor and the laser, quantum mechanics approaches its centenary with an impressive record. However, the field has also long been the subject of ongoing debates about the foundations and interpretation of the theory, referred to as the quantum controversy. This Oxford Handbook offers a historical overview of the contrasts which have been at the heart of quantum physics for the last 100 years. Drawing on the wide-ranging expertise of several contributors working across physics, history, and philosophy, the handbook outlines the main theories and interpretations of quantum physics. It goes ...
