How needed is a better conceptual foundation for QM ? Be aware that they may not know their question is within the realm of physics. The book traces the history of ideas in the conceptual development of Quantum Mechanics. This development negated previous theories that the universe would at some point stop expanding and ultimately collapse into itself. (1974), The Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics, Wiley & Sons: 109. Just like one should start from pseudo-Riemannian geometry in systematically developing General Relativity, one should start from von Neumann's quantum logics in systematically developing Quantum Theory. Hughes was being creative in introducing his course and I applaud his efforts. Having in a small way tried to learn something about quantum mechanics I've found it daunting to wrap my head around its concepts. For the historical significance of Schrödinger's work see Max Jammer, The Conceptual Development of Quantum Mechanics (1966). To me, the alleged path interference or superposition in the double slit is a different conceptual problem to that of the collision (or not) of QM (and nature) with local-realism. While few physicists will be surprised that all three loopholes have now been closed, doing so could be an important step towards developing failsafe quantum cryptography. An advanced treatise is the monograph The Conceptual Development of Quantum Mechanics by Max Jammer (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1966). The loophole-closure experiment has been carried out .. Classes are over for the semester, and I've put together the lecture notes for my undergraduate “Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians” course, which are available here. (1966), The Conceptual Development of Quantum Mechanics, McGraw-Hill: 166 – 180. A typical request may be for material to help them understand topics in the news or concepts they have heard of, such as superstring theory, quantum mechanics, or the Big Bang Theory. We now come to Daniel Danin's book titled Probabilities of the Quantum World. Quantum mechanics triumphs once again.
