Quantum Theory: Reconsideration of Foundations - 3

The main aim of this Conference is to reconsider foundations of quantum theory. The following problems will be discussed during the Conference:

1. Analysis of the creation of the quantum formalism: quantum probability; quantum logic, quantum information.
2. Interpretations of wave function, relation to foundations of probability theory. Superposition principle.
3. Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment. Bell's inequality: realism/nonlocality/contextualism?
4. Quantum information and teleportation, computing and cryptography
5. Quantum thermodynamics.
6. Pilot-wave theory, nonlocality. De Broglie double-solution theory.
7. Local realistic models, hidden variables.
8. Evidences of violations of quantum mechanical description?
9. Contextual approach to quantum probability.
10. Macroscopic quantum and quantum-like systems.
11. Quantum-like statistics in biology and cognitive sciences.

Special session:

• Fundamental problems of quantum thermodynamics.
