Abstract: The extravagances of quantum mechanics never fail to enrich daily the debate around natural philosophy. Entanglement, non-locality, collapse, many worlds, many minds, and subjectivism have challenged generations of thinkers. Its approach can perhaps be placed in the stream of quantum logic, in which the "strangeness" of quantum mechanics is "measured" through the violation of Bell's inequalities and, from there, attempts an interpretative path that preserves realism yet ends up overturning it, restating the fundamental mechanisms of QM as a logical necessity for a strong realism.

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.

Causality and a possible interpretation of quantum mechanics [2.7398542529968477]
Based on quantum field theory, our work provides a framework that harmoniously integrates relativistic causality, quantum non-locality, and quantum measurement. We use reduced density matrices to represent the local information of the quantum state and show that the reduced density matrices cannot evolve superluminally. Unlike recent approaches that focus on causality by introducing new operators to describe detectors, we consider that everything--including detectors, environments, and humans--is composed of the same fundamental fields.

Understanding and Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics [0.65268245109828]
De Regt's contextual theory of understanding argues that recognizing qualitatively characteristic consequences of a theory T without performing exact calculations is a criterion for scientific understanding. If the task of understanding quantum mechanics has been finished already, there would be a conflict between the contextual theory of understanding of quantum mechanics and interpretations of quantum mechanics.

On quantum fundamentalism [0.0]
For N. Bohr, the measurement problem is a pseudo-problem because any quantum phenomenon presupposes the classical context of an experimental setup and the use of classical concepts to describe it. Our approach is consistent with H. Zinkernagels interpretation, according to which Bohr's position is not only anti-fundamentalism, but also ontological anti-fundamentalism.

Quantum Instability [30.674987397533997]
We show how a time-independent, finite-dimensional quantum system can give rise to a linear instability corresponding to that in the classical system. An unstable quantum system has a richer spectrum and a much longer recurrence time than a stable quantum system.

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.

Distinguishing between quantum and classical Markovian dephasing dissipation [15.175005339708768]
We consider n qubits subject to correlated Markovian dephasing and present a sufficient condition for when bath-induced dissipation can generate system entanglement. We find that the presence or absence of time-reversal symmetry plays a crucial role in dissipative entanglement generation.

Impossibility of creating a superposition of unknown quantum states [16.467540842571328]
We show that the existence of a protocol that superposes two unknown pure states with nonzero probability leads to violation of other no-go theorems. Such a protocol can be used to perform certain state discrimination and cloning tasks that are forbidden in quantum theory.

We extract the information of a quantum motion and decode it into a certain orbit via a single measurable quantity. We present a strategy to import classical chaos to a quantum system, revealing a connection between the classical and quantum worlds.
