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

SUMMARY:David Bohm in the 1940s: Science\, Scientific Style and Political Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Bohm in the 1940s: Science\, Scientific Style and Political Engagement \n\n\n\nwith Olival Freire Jr.  \n\n\n\nJuly 18 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session   \n\n\n\nWhen David Bohm arrived in California in the early 1940s for graduate studies he had already consolidated two intellectual trends which would characterize his whole life. He knew what kind of physics he enjoyed working on; while he was attracted to theoretical physics and had exhibited skills in mathematics\, he had no patience for the solving problem style of physics he had found at Caltech. Instead he looked for speculative and conceptual science. Bohm\, however\, was not only concerned with science\, for him science was part of a larger picture involving society as a whole. During the Great Depression he had shifted from a strong commitment to individualism along the lines of the American Dream to a more socially inclined\, even sympathetic\, social view. As for physics subjects\, he began to work on a subject\, plasma\, which was inherited from the war effort and he moved to the subject to which he would dedicate his entire life: the quest to understand the quantum world. Olival will present and reflect on Bohm’s early stage of his mature life looking for elements of continuity we may find in his whole life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Olival Freire Jr.\, professor of physics and history of science \n\n\n\nOlival Freire Jr. is Professor of Physics and History of Physics at the Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil. In Brazil\, he was trained in Physics (UFBA)\, he earned a PhD in History (USP) in 1995 and is fellow at the CNPq in History of Science. \n\n\n\nHe founded the Graduate Program in Science Teaching\, History and Philosophy of Science at UFBA\, in Brazil. He served as President of the Sociedade Brasileira de História da Ciência\, the Commission on the History of Physics at DHST and as a member of the council of History of Science Society. \n\n\n\nHe was researcher at the Dibner Institute for the History of Science\, MIT\, Harvard\, Université de Paris VII\, University of Maryland\, and Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics. \n\n\n\nHe has published a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as books and book chapters. He wrote The Quantum Dissidents—Rebuilding the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics 1950-1990\, Springer\, 2015\, and David Bohm—A Life Dedicated to Understanding the Quantum World\, Springer\, 2019. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:Infinite Potential: A Filmmaker's Journey into the World of David Bohm
DESCRIPTION:Infinite Potential: A Filmmaker’s Journey into the World of David Bohm \n\n\n\nwith Paul Howard  \n\n\n\nJuly 12 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session  \n\n\n\nHaving just completed a film on David Bohm’s life\, his incredible work in physics\, philosophy and the nature of consciousness\, the question that Paul asked himself was\, how come I never before heard about this extraordinary man and his work? \n\n\n\nHe was the man Einstein called his ‘spiritual son’ and the Dalai Lama his ‘science guru\,’ so why is it that the world hardly knows his name? \n\n\n\nPaul Howard’s film is an attempt to answer that question\, to shine a light into the world of Bohm and how making the film changed his life. \n\n\n\nIt’s a film he believes has the potential to change the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Howard\, Film and Television Producer and Director\, Ireland \n\n\n\nA Producer\, Director\, Executive Producer of International repute with an enviable track record in documentary\, television series and more recently in feature film production.He has just completed work on the documentary titled Infinite Potential—The Life and Ideas of David Bohm for release in 2020. \n\n\n\nPaul has worked across most disciplines in the film/television industry over the past 30 years in Ireland and overseas as a director\, producer\, writer\, covering genres such as biography\, natural history\, wildlife. He has directed many critically acclaimed documentaries. He has worked for RTE (Ireland’s Public Service Broadcaster)\, Imagine Limited (Independent Film Company)\, Nine Network (Sydney\, Australia)\, Nomad Films International (Melbourne\, Australia). \n\n\n\nSome recent successes include 21st Century Railway\, a modern history of railways; Waiting for Houlihan\, an arts documentary nominated for an IFTA award; Marsh to the Skies\, the secret Irish/American alliance that gave American access to Shannon Airport during the ‘Cold War’; The Irish in Hollywood\, a documentary ‘special’ on the cultural impact that the Irish have had on the famous Film Town; Bloomsday\, a documentary celebrating James Joyce’s Ulysses\, broadcast internationally. \n\n\n\nIn Australia\, Paul completed Triumph of the Nomads\, a history of Australia prior to the arrival of European white settlement; and The Pintubi\, a series about the last remaining tribe of Aborigines who roamed the outback of Australia up until 1935. Also\, Breakthroughs\, a series on the latest developments in science and medicine. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here
