Credence and Chance in a Pluralist Approach to Quantum Theories

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This project develops novel technical results about the probabilities appearing in quantum mechanics that bridge and support several different interpretations of what that theory says about reality. It also explores the utility of this pluralist approach for upper-level physics education, in collaboration with

Physics, Philosophy, Pedagogy

This project, a collaboration with , investigates how the intersection of physics and philosophy can benefit upper-level physics education. We draw on feminist epistemology to reimagine the power structures of typical physics classrooms, and we scaffold students’ reasoning with intuitive conceptual resources drawn from physics’ history.
