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: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:How does the Classical World Emerge from the Implicate Order?
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow does the Classical World Emerge from the Implicate Order? \n\n\n\nwith Basil Hiley  \n\n\n\nJuly 25 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session  \n\n\n\nExperimental evidence clearly shows classical physics is wrong. Sure\, it works at the classical level\, but there is some deeper order necessary to understand the new physics. Nevertheless this deeper process must approximate to the macroscopic world we experience. David Bohm suggested that the algebraic quantum formalism should be understood in terms of the implicate order. For him this was the order that we directly perceive and from our experiences we abstract an array classical orders\, the explicate orders from which we construct the an order which allows us to find a way to survive. The deeper implicate order contains an array of what appears to be contradictory possible explicate orders. Why? We find classical rigidity is replaced by a new notion of dynamical rigid forms which gives rise to what is known as quantum non-locality.  I will try to explain how these novel ideas arise from our physics and how they provide another way of looking at the world that David Bohm was developing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Basil Hiley\, collaborator and colleague of David Bohm for over 30 years \n\n\n\nBasil J. Hiley is a British quantum physicist and professor emeritus of the University of London. He received the Majorana Prize ‘Best Person in Physics’ in 2012. A long-time co-worker of David Bohm\, Hiley is known for his work with Bohm on the implicate order and for his work on algebraic descriptions of quantum physics in terms of underlying symplectic and orthogonal Clifford algebras. Hiley co-authored the book The Undivided Universe with David Bohm\, which is considered the main reference for Bohm’s interpretation of quantum theory. \n\n\n\nThe work of Bohm and Hiley has been characterized as primarily addressing the question ‘whether we can have an adequate conception of the reality of a quantum system\, be this causal or be it stochastic or be it of any other nature’ and meeting the scientific challenge of providing a mathematical description of quantum systems that matches the idea of an implicate order. \n\n\n\nIn 1961 Hiley was appointed assistant lecturer at Birkbeck College\, where Bohm had taken the chair of Theoretical Physics shortly before. Hiley wanted to investigate how physics could be based on a notion of process\, and he found that David Bohm held similar ideas. He reports that during the seminars he held together with Roger Penrose he was particularly fascinated by John Wheeler’s ‘sum over three geometries’ ideas that he was using to quantize gravity. \n\n\n\nHiley worked with David Bohm for many years on fundamental problems of theoretical physics. Initially Bohm’s model of 1952 did not feature in their discussions; this changed when Hiley asked himself whether the ‘Einstein-Schrödinger equation\,’ as Wheeler called it\, might be found by studying the full implications of that model. They worked together closely for three decades. Together they wrote many publications\, including the book The Undivided Universe: An Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Theory\, published 1993\, which is now considered the major reference for Bohm’s interpretation of quantum theory. \n\n\n\n In 1995\, Basil Hiley was appointed to the chair in physics at Birkbeck College at the University of London. He was awarded the 2012 Majorana Prize in the category The Best Person in Physics for the algebraic approach to quantum mechanics and furthermore in recognition of ‘his paramount importance as natural philosopher\, his critical and open minded attitude towards the role of science in contemporary culture.’ \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:Laozi and the Implicate Order: Wholeness in Daoism and Quantum Physics
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaozi and the Implicate Order: Wholeness in Daoism and Quantum Physics \n\n\n\nwith Shantena Augusto Sabbadini  \n\n\n\nJuly 26 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session   \n\n\n\nBohm’s notion of implicate order resonates with the Eastern notion of Dao. Dao is the invisible current that brings the ‘ten thousand things’ to manifestation\, but it is also described as the attractor that calls them back to return to their root\, to no-thingness\, to the unmanifest. And ultimately these two states\, the manifest\, the explicate\, that which can be named\, and the unmanifest\, the implicate\, that which has no name\, are one and the same. Holding them together in our awareness is\, Laozi tells us\, the ultimate secret\, the door of all mysteries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Shantena Augusto Sabbadini\, quantum physicist and philosopher \n\n\n\nShantena graduated from the University of Milan in 1968 and was awarded his PhD in physics from the University of California in 1976. In Milan he researched the foundations of quantum physics\, laying the base for what is currently known as the decoherence interpretation of quantum physics. At the University of California\, he contributed to the theoretical work behind the first identification of a black hole\, the X-ray source Cygnus X-1. In the 1990s he was scientific consultant for the Eranos Foundation\, an East-West research center founded under the auspices of C.G. Jung in the 1930s. In that context he produced various translations and commentaries of Chinese classics in Italian and English\, including the Yijing and the trilogy of Daoist classics\, the Laozi\, the Zhuangzi and the Liezi. From 2002 onwards he collaborated with F. David Peat running the Pari Center for New Learning and in 2017 he succeeded his friend and colleague as director of the center. \n\n\n\nShantena leads workshops and courses on the philosophical implications of quantum physics\, on Daoism\, and on using the Yijing as a tool for introspection. His most recent book in English\, Pilgrimages to Emptiness: Rethinking Reality through Quantum Physics\, was published by Pari Publishing in 2017. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here
