Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics
Consciousness and quantum mechanics are two great mysteries of our time—and recently scholars have postulated a deeper connection between them. Exploring this possible connection can be fruitful: an analysis of the conscious mind and psychophysical connection can be indispensable in understanding quantum mechanics and solving the notorious measurement problem, and there is also likely some kind of intimate connection between quantum mechanics—the most fundamental
theory of the physical world—and our efforts to explain, naturalistically, the phenomenon of consciousness. Meer

The Meaning of the Wave Function
At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the wave function, a powerful but mysterious mathematical object which has been a hot topic of debate from its earliest stages.

Protective Measurement and Quantum Reality
Protective measurements offer an intriguing method for measuring the wave function of a single quantum system. With contributions from leading physicists and philosophers of physics - including two of the original discoverers of this important method - this book explores the concept of protective measurement, investigating its broad applications and deep implications.
