221David Wallace the emergent multiverse: Quantum theory according to the Everett interpretationBritish Journal for the Philosophy of Science 66 (2): 465-468. 2015.We have, then, a theory which is objectively causal and continuous, while at the same time subjectively probabilistic and discontinuous. It can lay claim to a certain completeness, since it applies to all systems, of whatever size, and is still capable of explaining the appearance of the macroscopic world. The price, however, is the abandonment of the concept of the uniqueness of the observer, with its somewhat disconcerting philosophical implications

216Quantum mechanical interaction-free measurementsFoundations of Physics 23 (7): 987-997. 1993.A novel manifestation of nonlocality of quantum mechanics is presented. It is shown that it is possible to ascertain the existence of an object in a given region of space without interacting with it. The method might have practical applications for delicate quantum experiments

129The Meaning of the Interaction-Free MeasurementsFoundations of Physics 33 (3): 491-510. 2003.Interaction-free measurements introduced by Elitzur and Vaidman [Found. Phys. 23, 987 (1993)] allow finding infinitely fragile objects without destroying them. Many experiments have been successfully performed showing that indeed, the original scheme and its modifications lead to reduction of the disturbance of the observed systems. However, there is a controversy about the validity of the term “interaction-free” for these experiments. Broad variety of such experiments are reviewed and the meani…Read more

299On schizophrenic experiences of the neutron or why we should believe in the many‐worlds interpretation of quantum theoryInternational Studies in the Philosophy of Science 12 (3). 1990.This is a philosophical paper in favor of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory. The necessity of introducing many worlds is explained by analyzing a neutron interference experiment. The concept of the “measure of existence of a world” is introduced and some difficulties with the issue of probability in the framework of the MWI are resolved

74It is argued that the criticism of Byrne and Hall of the argument of Chalmers in favor of the Everett-style interpretation is incorrect.

102It is argued that thirder resolution of the Lewis - Elga controversy about Sleeping Beauty is more clear when the coin toss is replaced by a quantum measurement and the analysis is performed in the framework of the Many-Worlds Interpretation.
