科学与流放:大卫·玻姆,冷战的热门时期,以及他为量子力学的新解释而奋斗
Science and exile: David Bohm, the hot times of the Cold War, and his struggle for a new interpretation of quantum mechanics
摘要:
这篇文章的重点是玻姆1952年关于量子力学因果解释的论文在物理学家中的接受情况,这些论文在当时并不受欢迎。我描述了他在巴西的流亡经历,并分析了围绕量子力学基础的物理学文化。我考虑到哥本哈根解释在物理学家中的力量,量子力学基础问题在物理学家培训中的方式,这些问题在研究议程上的低地位,以及玻姆和合作者能够实现的结果。我还比较了玻姆的思想与休埃弗雷特的解释,并认为,从当时的物理学文化背景下增长的障碍有一个更显着的影响,在玻姆的思想接收比与麦卡锡主义气候的变迁。
英文摘要:
This article focuses on the reception among physicists of Bohm's 1952 papers on the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics, which were poorly received at the time. I describe his Brazilian exile and analyze the culture of physics surrounding the foundations of quantum mechanics. I take into account the strength of the Copenhagen interpretation among physicists, the way in which issues concerning the foundations of quantum mechanics were present in the training of physicists, the low status of these issues on research agendas, and the kind of results Bohm and collaborators were able to achieve. I also compare the reception of Bohm's ideas with that of Hugh Everett's interpretation and argue that the obstacles growing from the cultural context of physics at that time had a more significant influence in the reception of Bohm's ideas than did the vicissitudes related to the McCarthyist climate.
