SUMMARY:Infinite Potential: Exploring the Life and Work of David Bohm - Summer Series
DESCRIPTION:Pari Center Online Summer Series\n\n\n\nJoin us for one or all of our two-hour sessionsSaturday and Sunday from July 12–August 239:00am (PDT)/12:00pm (EDT)/6:00pm (CEST) \n\n\n\nThis summer we are offering a unique opportunity to take part in an exploration of Bohm’s life and ideas. Join us online for a series of presentations by former colleagues of David Bohm and scholars of his work. Each session will allow time for audience participation in the form of dialogue\, discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\nThe presenters\, many of whom were interviewed in the Infinite Potential documentary\, will examine the many facets of Bohm’s life and work—physics\, philosophy\, wholeness\, implicate and explicate orders\, holomovement\, consciousness\, dialogue\, language and the rheomode\, interaction with the Blackfoot\, his relationship and dialogues with J. Krisnamurti. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSunday July 12Infinite Potential: A Filmmaker’s Journey into the World of David Bohmwith Paul Howard \n\n\n\nSaturday July 18David Bohm in the 1940s: Science\, Scientific Style\, and Political Engagementwith Olival Freire Jr. \n\n\n\nSunday July 19Quantum Trajectories and the Nature of Wholeness in David Bohm’s Quantum Theorywith Chris Dewdney \n\n\n\nSaturday July 25How does the Classical World Emerge from the Implicate Order?with Basil Hiley \n\n\n\nSunday July 26Laozi and the Implicate Order: Wholeness in Daoism and Quantum Physicswith Shantena Augusto Sabbadini \n\n\n\nSaturday August 1The Blackfoot Worldview\, Language and David Bohmwith Leroy Little Bear \n\n\n\nSunday August 2Recovering Coherency in Politics and Society Through Dialoguewith Glenn Aparicio Parry \n\n\n\nSaturday August 8Insight and Illusion in Bohmian Psychologywith David Moody \n\n\n\nSunday August 9Understanding Quantum Reality and Consciousnesswith Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSaturday August 15Tracing the Story of David Bohm and Dialogue with Beth Macy \n\n\n\nSunday August 16Beyond Dialoguewith Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nSaturday August 22Beyond the Known Dimension: A Journey into David Bohm’s Implicate Orderwith David Schrum \n\n\n\nSunday August 23Nonlocality\, Interconnectedness\, and the Quantum Observerwith Jan Walleczek

SUMMARY:Quantum Trajectories and the Nature of Wholeness in David Bohm’s Quantum Theory
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuantum Trajectories and the Nature of Wholeness in David Bohm’s Quantum Theory \n\n\n\nwith Chris Dewdney  \n\n\n\nJuly 19 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session   \n\n\n\nChris Dewdney will review a selection of the animations that he originated during the period from 1979\, when the Two-Slit calculations were first published\, up to the more recent field-matter interaction examples. The animations will be shown (many in the updated form seen in the documentary Infinite Potential) during his talk and he will explain in a non-technical way\, how they were produced and exactly what they show. For each animation\, the implications for our understanding of quantum mechanics and the nature of reality will be drawn out. In particular\, it will be argued that the fundamental nonlocality of quantum mechanics demands that we must transcend our common-sense perception that events are determined solely by processes taking place within ordinary space and time. The true arena in which Schödinger’s quantum mechanics plays out is ‘configuration space’ and these will illustrate\, using the animations\, how Bohm’s trajectories within this space give rise to nonlocal connections in our everyday space and to the wholeness that is seen in complex quantum systems (everything is a complex quantum system). Finally\, there will be discussion on the nature of quantum fields in David Bohm’s quantum field theory and the interaction between quantum fields and quantum matter\, hence revealing the nature of the photon. \n\n\n\nEach of the animations will be shown and discussed in turn\, allowing plenty of time for questions and answers after each. The animations considered will be: \n\n\n\n\nEinstein’s single slit experiment\n\n\n\nThe two-slit experiment\n\n\n\nQuantum measurement—the Stern Gerlach experiment and the measurement of quantum spin\n\n\n\nNonlocality in David Bohm’s version of the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen experiment\n\n\n\nThe nature of the field in David Bohm’s quantum field theory\n\n\n\nThe nature of the photon in the interaction between quantum fields and matter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Dewdney\, PhD. Reader in Theoretical Physics at the University of Portsmouth.  \n\n\n\nChris Dewdney obtained a joint degree in Physics and Philosophy from the University of Warwick in 1973. He then continued his interest in philosophy of physics\, at the postgraduate level\, studying History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge; there his dissertation was written on Niels Bohr’s Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. \n\n\n\nChris then obtained funding from the British Science Research Council to work towards a PhD in David Bohm’s group in the Physics Department at Birkbeck College in London. There\, Chris started to read Bohm’s papers on the notion of order in physics\, attended Bohm’s undergraduate lectures on quantum theory and the frequent postgraduate seminars. Initially\, Chris was the only full-time PhD student at that time working in Bohm’s group. At Birkbeck\, students had to find their own PhD topic\, the main thrust of the research was around formulating a mathematical description of Bohm’s notion of the holomovement and the processes of ‘becoming.’ Bohm’s 1952 hidden-variable theory was not discussed at the time and it was pure serendipity (browsing in the bookshop) that lead Chris to formulate his own PhD study demonstrating in detail how Bohm’s 1952 theory accounted for all of the ‘paradoxical’ features of quantum theory\, starting with the double-slit experiment. Whilst at Birkbeck\, Chris also produced the first computer-generated motion picture animations of quantum tunnelling. \n\n\n\nOn completion of his PhD in 1983\, Chris was awarded a Royal Society Fellowship which he held in Jean-Pierre Vigier’s group at the Insitut Henri Poincare in Paris. During the fellowship Chris extended the detailed de Broglie-Bohm theory calculations to include neutron interferometry and the processes of spin measurement and spin superposition. \n\n\n\nIn 1986\, Chris took up a permanent teaching and research position at The University of Portsmouth in the UK\, becoming a Reader in Theoretical Physics in 1992. At Portsmouth he extended his work in de Broglie-Bohm theory to give a detailed\, de Broglie-Bohm account of the nonlocal processes evident\, for example\, in the Einstein\, Podolsky and Rosen experiment. At Portsmouth\, working with George Horton\, and his own students\, Chris also developed detailed de Broglie-Bohm accounts of quantum chaos\, the motion of quantum fields and the quantized exchange of energy between matter and radiation. \n\n\n\nChris’s work in carrying out the detailed calculations of quantum mechanical processes helped transform the situation regarding interest in\, and acceptance of\, de Broglie-Bohm theory. Although at first\, he was almost alone in pursuing de Broglie-Bohm theory calculations\, today there is a small industry doing so for many different physical circumstances. Chris’s work helped put de Broglie-Bohm theory centre stage in the foundations of quantum theory context. When he started out\, Bohm’s approach was hardly considered\, and none had carried out detailed calculations within the interpretation of quantum theory community; today it is considered a viable theory\, and this is in some part due to Chris’s work. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here
