Speakable in quantum mechanics

Abstract: At the 1927 Como conference Bohr spoke the now famous words "It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about nature." However, if the Copenhagen interpretation really holds on to this motto, why then is there this feeling of conflict when comparing it with realist interpretations? Surely what one can say about nature should in a certain sense be interpretation independent. In this paper I take Bohr's motto seriously and develop a quantum logic … Show more

“…And as a guide to such a logic one may take into account Bohr's demand that all well-defined experimental evidence, even if it cannot be analyzed in terms of classical physics, must be expressed in ordinary language making use of common logic. -Bohr [4] In this paper I continue the work done in [14] to meet this demand. Specifically, in section 2 I first introduce a lattice of experimental propositions S QM which is then extended to an intuitionistic logic L QM in section 3.…”

“…Specifically, in section 2 I first introduce a lattice of experimental propositions S QM which is then extended to an intuitionistic logic L QM in section 3. These results comprise a summary of some of the results in [14]. Then, also in section 3, this logic is extended to a classical logic CL QM for experimental propositions.…”

“…3. Specific logical frameworks and analyses can -highlight features of the formalism [548], -contribute to understanding how that formalism relates to independent reality [481,549], and -assess whether or not quantum mechanics necessarily requires new notions of truth [550][551][552][553][554].…”
