- Language: English or German as preferred
- Studiengänge: This seminar is offered primarily for the master's program in mathematical physics but is open to all study programs.
- Content: To this day, the interpretation of quantum mechanics remains controversial; in recent years, there have been some new mathematical contributions (for example, the Barrett-Pusey-Rudolph theorem in 2012). We will examine how mathematical analysis contributes to philosophical debates about physics.
