Second Vienna Symposium on the Foundations of Modern Physics in Honour of Daniel Greenberger and Helmut Rauch
Mitschnitt einer gemeinsamen Veranstaltung des Instituts für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation der ÖAW (IQOQI) und der Fakultät für Physik der Universität Wien am Freitag, dem 12. Juni 2009 im Lise Meitner-Hörsaal der Fakultät für Physik
Teil 7:
- Abner Shimony: Experiments on Quantum Mechanics and Mind
- Michael Horne: On Classical Fields and Quantum Phases
Moderation: Stig Stenholm
Abstract Shimony: An experiment was proposed and performed by J. Hall, C. Kim, B. McElroy, and A. Shimony (Found. of Phys. 7, 1977, 759) testing the theory that a definite reduction of a superposition does not occur in a measurement process prior to an act of consciousness of an observer. Their data conflicted with this theory. S. Whitmarsh and D.J. Bierman carried out some refinements of this experiment (reported in D. Radin (ed.), Entangled Minds (Simon and Schuster, 2009), with results that are inconclusive. Two further refinements are now proposed, straightforward in design, which envisage definitive results.
