July 10, 2021 – Contextuality is one particularly puzzling non-classical feature of the quantum world—but what conclusions should we draw from it? In this talk, Dr Adlam explains what contextuality is and why the presence of contextuality in our theories needs explaining. She describes how contextuality is manifested in the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics and compares and contrasts the de Broglie-Bohm account of contextuality to various alternatives. Finally, she discusses some interesting new mathematical approaches to contextuality and consider what these results add to our understanding.
Emily Adlam, PhD, is a theoretical physicist and philosopher of physics specialising in quantum information and foundations.
