This is a Bristol-London-Oxford-Cambridge (BLOC) Philosophy of Physics event. Abstract: I examine the concept of interval or imprecise probability as applied to any admissible ensemble of microstates, in which the probability of a projector P in an ensemble is bounded by the frequency of +1 eigenstates (lower bound) and 0 eigenstates (upper bound). Given a Hilbert space H and quantum…

There will be tea starting 2:30pm. Abstract: It is often claimed that Everettian Quantum Mechanics has the advantage of taking the physics seriously as is. By not adding to standard quantum theory, the argument for many worlds is thought to be more palatable and the interpretation sticks closer to actual science. But do Everettians truly not add anything? And is…
