Experimental metaphysics: Probing the foundations of quantum theory
Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory, yet the debate over what it actually says about the world remains as active as ever. I will explore some of the topics at the heart of this debate and discuss how they are moving more and more from the realm of philosophy to the realm of experimental physics. In particular, I will discuss the implications of recent photonic experiments that shed light on the very questions of reality, the nature of the wavefunction, and observer independence in quantum mechanics.
