Valuations on Functionally Closed Sets of Quantum Mechanical Observables and Von Neumann's 'No-Hidden-Variables' Theorem
Abstract
Description
We apply the machinery of projection lattices and von Neumann algebras to analyze the question of how modal interpretations can (and do) circumvent von Neumann's infamous 'no-hidden-variables' theorem.
