Quantum Theory: a Pragmatist Approach
... What is it to interpret quantum theory? Addressing this question, van Fraassen ([1991]) characterized the interpretative task as an attempt to say: ‘What is really going on, according to this theory?’ and ‘How could the world possibly be how this theory says it is?’ This ties interpretation directly ...

However, the presence of a surface in real materials allows the existence of new plasmon modes, called surface plasmons, which can be excited by electromagnetic waves [2,3]. In particular, ...

It is much more adequate to describe the gas by macroscopic quantities that are averages over many microscopic degrees of freedom. Such averaged quantities are, for example, the energy or particle ...
