State vector reduction in relativistic quantum mechanics: An introduction -- Quantum measurements, open systems and dynamical entropy -- EEQT — A way out of the quantum trap -- Stochastic unraveling of relativistic quantum measurements -- Some lessons from relativistic reduction models -- Effective theories of coupled classical and quantum variables -- Are there unsolved problems in the interpretation of quantum mechanics? -- Collapse models.

Sommario/riassunto

This book treats modern aspects of open systems, measurement, and decoherence in relativistic quantum theory. It starts with a comprehensive introduction to the problems related to measuring local and nonlocal observables and the constraints imposed by the causality principle. In the articles that follow, the emphasis lies on new theoretical models. Quantum dynamical semigroups and stochastic processes in Hilbert space are introduced, as are dynamical reduction models. Further topics include relativistic generalizations of the continuous spontaneous localization model and of the quantum state



diffusion model and decoherence and the dynamical selection of preferred basis sets in the framework of continuous measurement theory and of the decoherent histories approach. Mathematical aspects of quantum measurement theory and dynamical entropies are also studied from the viewpoint of the operational approach to quantum mechanics.

Russia's "Fascism"or "Illiberalism"? -- The Soviet Legacy in Thinking about Fascism -- Anti-Fascism as the Renewed Social Consensus under Putin -- International Memory Wars : Equating the Soviet Union with Nazism -- The Putin Regime's Ideological Plurality -- Russia's Fascist Thinkers and Doers -- Russia's Honeymoon with the European Far Right -- Why the Russian Regime is not Fascist.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume argues that the charge of 'fascism' has become a strategic narrative of the current world order. Vladimir Putin's regime has



increasingly been accused of embracing fascism, supposedly evidenced by Russia's annexation of Crimea, its historical revisionism, attacks on liberal democratic values, and its support for far-right movements in Europe. But at the same time Russia has branded itself as the world's preeminent antifascist power because of its sacrifices during the Second World War while it has also emphasized how opponents to the Soviet Union in Central and Eastern Europe collaborated with Nazi Germany. This book closely analyzes accusations of fascism toward Russia, soberly assessing both their origins and their accuracy.
