[PhilWeb] Workshop on Philosophy of Spontaneous Collapse

We are pleased to announce the workshop Philosophy of Spontaneous Collapse, scheduled for 20-21 May 2024 at the University of Italian Switzerland (Lugano). The aim of the workshop is to discuss the main philosophical implications of the spontaneous collapse models (SCM) of quantum mechanics. Since they were first proposed in the late '80s, the SCM have been among the most discussed solutions to the measurement problem. In this workshop, some of the main figures in the debate on these models (both physicists such as Angelo Bassi and Daniel Sudarsky, as well as philosophers like David Albert, Valia Allori, Matthias Egg, and Tim Maudlin) will discuss the viability, the future prospects, and the ontological consequences of SCM. The workshop is organised within Cristian Mariani SNF Ambizione project ‘Quantum Indeterminacy' (grant #208762).
