1. 1. The Collapse of Decoherence : Can Decoherence Theory Solve The Problems of Measurement?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

   Author : Karl Herlin; [2023]
   Keywords : quantum mechanics; quantum physics; philosophy of physics; interpretation of quantum mechanics; measurement problem; problem of preferred basis; problem of non-observability of interference; problem of definite outcomes; environment induced superselection rules; copenhagen interpretation; decoherence; irreducibility of classical concepts;

   Abstract : In this review study, we ask ourselves if decoherence theory can solve the problems of measurement in quantum mechanics. After an introduction to decoherence theory, we present the problem of preferred basis, the problem of non-observability of interference and the problem of definite outcomes. READ MORE

3. 2. On quantum systems and the measurement problem

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

   Author : Nicolas Boulle; [2023]
   Keywords : Quantum physics; the measurement problem; quantum information; Hilbert spaces; physical systems; unitary; collapse; Euler angles parametrization; Copenhagen interpretation; many- world; measure;

   Abstract : We focus on the Tensor Product Structure (TPS) of the Hilbert space and the fact that a choice in the TPS has an impact on the representation of the studied quantum system. We define the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and present some theories about quantum mechanics, each of them highlighting a different approach to quantum measurements. READ MORE

4. 3. TikTok Risk or Threat? Competing narratives about risk and threats in the US case

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Author : Stephanie Scatton; [2023]
   Keywords : TikTok; USA; social media; securitization; riskification; case study; risk; threat; content analysis.;

   Abstract : TikTok a Chinese-based social media application, in the last five years has reached global success. It became the first non-American application to reach such massive popularity. This has sparked controversy in the US. Recent studies have highlighted the benefits and disadvantages of this social media app. READ MORE

5. 4. A Current Need for Continuity

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudier

   Author : Nils Patrik Svensson; [2022]
   Keywords : agential realism; Karen Barad; new materialism; math; infinitesimals; complexity; quantum physics; Copenhagen interpretation; phenomenology; Merleau-Ponty; continuity; Rawls; binary;

   Abstract : Throughout these last few decades, phenomenology and modern physics have slowly started to approach each other in order to bridge the gap between the subjective and objective. In this thesis I aim to show an approach done with the help of Karen Barad's agential realism; a quantum interpretation enabling us to better understand and analyse our complex world, as well as our perception of it.

6. 5. Fiat lux: An analysis of light art through objecthood and embodied simulation, reflecting on the conceptuality and corporeality of the artistic medium

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för konsthistoria och visuella studier

   Author : Amanda Johansson; [2022]
   Keywords : Light art; space; illumination; atmospheres; embodiment; Cultural Sciences;

   Abstract : Though established as a movement and recognised as artistic form, light art remains elusive and somewhat enigmatic in its definitions and categorisations. This thesis aims to contribute to the current discourse on light art by exploring the application of objecthood and embodied simulation whilst acknowledging the contextual, three-dimensional, spectacular, and anti-art qualities of the art form.
