From the very beginning it was realised that quantum physics
involves radically new interpretative and epistemological
consequences. While hitherto there has been no satisfactory
philosophical analysis of these consequences, recent years have
witnessed the accomplishment of many experiments to test the
foundations of quantum physics, opening up vistas to a completely
novel technology: quantum technology. The contributions in the present
volume review the interpretative situation, analyze recent fundamental
experiments, and discuss the implications of possible future
technological applications.

Readership: Analytic philosophers (logical empiricists),
scientists (especially physicists), historians of logic, mathematics
and physics, philosophers of science, and advanced students and
researchers in these fields. Can be used for seminars on theoretical
and experimental physics and philosophy of science, and as
supplementary reading at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.
