- Abstract summary: The main objective of this work is to analyze the relations that are existing between wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle and the concepts of phase space and microstates considered in statistical mechanics.
The possibility of using these concepts of quantum phase space and phase space representations of quantum mechanics to help in a deeper description of the wave-particle duality and in the study of some current issues related to foundational problems of quantum mechanics like quantum decoherence and the measurement problem is also discussed.

- Abstract: Wave-particle duality is often considered as the modern answer to the problem
of the nature of light after more than 2000 years of questioning. It is also
the answer given by quantum physics concerning the nature of matter particles
and any other radiations. The main objective of this work is to analyze the
relations that are existing between this concept of wave-particle duality, the
uncertainty principle and the concepts of phase space and microstates
considered in statistical mechanics. It is mainly highlighted that while the
concepts of phase space and microstates were already introduced in classical
physics before the discovery of the wave-particle duality, a correct
understanding of them cannot be achieved without the use of the concept of
quantum phase space and phase space representation of quantum mechanics which
are directly related to the uncertainty principle. The possibility of using
these concepts of quantum phase space and phase space representations of
quantum mechanics to help in a deeper description of the wave-particle duality
and in the study of some current issues related to foundational problems of
quantum mechanics like quantum decoherence and the measurement problem is also
discussed.

- Causality and a possible interpretation of quantum mechanics [3.236774847052122]
We propose a framework based on quantum field theory to integrate relativistic causality, quantum non-locality, and quantum measurement.
We utilize reduced density matrices to characterize the local information of the quantum state and demonstrate that they cannot evolve superluminally.
It is precisely these renormalization that prompts us to question the validity of the derivation of quantum paradoxes and lead us to propose a very natural and relativistically compatible interpretation of quantum mechanics.

This work investigates the philosophical implications of causal nonseparability, especially for the notion oftemporal relations.
A preliminary discussion will study the formal connection between quantum and causal nonseparability.
It will be shown that, depending on the interpretative framework, causal nonseparability suggests some kind of indeterminacy oftemporal relations.

This text begins with a series of critical considerations on the initial interpretation of quantum phenomena observed in atomic systems.
Arguments are given in favour of the random zero-point radiation field (ZPF) as the element needed to complete the quantum process.
The permanent presence of the field drastically affects the dynamics of the particle, which eventually falls under the control of the field.
