Abstract: The Kochen-Specker theorem is one of the fundamental no-go theorems in quantum theory. It has far-reaching consequences for all attempts trying to give an interpretation of the quantum formalism. In this work, we examine the hypotheses that, at the ontological level, lead to the KochenSpecker contradiction. We emphasize the role of the assumptions about identity and distinguishability of quantum objects in the argument.

Some mathematical issues regarding a new approach towards quantum foundation [0.0]
The weakest possible theorem giving a foundation behind the Hilbert space formalism of quantum theory is stated. The necessary postulates are formulated, and the mathematics is spelled out in details.

Quantum Entanglement Through the Lens of Paraconsistent Logic [0.0]
This paper presents an alternative approach to quantum entanglement, one that effectively resolves the logical inconsistencies without leading to logical contradictions. By addressing some of the inconsistencies within quantum mechanics, such as state superposition and non-locality, our method is constructed on the principles of paraconsistent logic.

A new interpretation of quantum theory, based on a bundle-theoretic view of objective idealism [0.0]
The 'weirdness' of quantum theory can be understood to derive from a vanishing distinguishability of indiscernible particles. The claim is made that quantum theory can be interpreted in an intelligible way by positing a bundle-theoretic view of objective idealism instead of materialism.

On the Interpretation of Quantum Indistinguishability : a No-Go Theorem [0.0]
Physicists are yet to reach a consensus on the interpretation of a quantum wavefunction. We show that quantum mechanical prediction of maximal violation of Mermin inequality is incompatible with all ontological interpretations for quantum theory.

Quantum realism: axiomatization and quantification [77.34726150561087]
We build an axiomatization for quantum realism -- a notion of realism compatible with quantum theory. We explicitly construct some classes of entropic quantifiers that are shown to satisfy almost all of the proposed axioms.

Observers of quantum systems cannot agree to disagree [55.41644538483948]
We ask whether agreement between observers can serve as a physical principle that must hold for any theory of the world. We construct examples of (postquantum) no-signaling boxes where observers can agree to disagree.

Experimental Validation of Fully Quantum Fluctuation Theorems Using Dynamic Bayesian Networks [48.7576911714538]
Fluctuation theorems are fundamental extensions of the second law of thermodynamics for small systems. We experimentally verify detailed and integral fully quantum fluctuation theorems for heat exchange using two quantum-correlated thermal spins-1/2 in a nuclear magnetic resonance setup.

Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.

The (Quantum) Measurement Problem in Classical Mechanics [0.0]
We show why this is not an "obvious" nor "self evident" problem for the theory of quanta. We discuss a representational realist account of both physical 'theories' and'measurement' We show how through these same set of presuppositions it is easy to derive a completely analogous paradox for the case of classical mechanics.
