The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, the empirical violation of Bell's inequalities, and recent activities to exploit quantum entanglement for technological innovation only exacerbate a long-standing philosophical debate. Despite no-signaling theorems and theories of decoherence, deep-rooted conflicts between special relativistic principles and observed quantum correlations as well as between definite measurement outcomes and quantum theoretical superpositions persist. This collection of papers, first presented at an international symposium at the University of Bern in 2011, highlights some recent approaches to the old problems of a philosophy of quantum mechanics. The authors address the issues from a variety of perspectives, ranging from variations of causal theory and system theoretic interpretations of the observer to an empirical test of whether entanglement itself can be entangled. The essays demonstrate that the discussion about the foundations of quantum mechanics is as lively and interesting as ever. 517 $aNew Vistas on Old Problems 531 $aMAX PLANCK RESEARCH LIBRARY FOR THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE / PROCEEDINGS ; 3 610 $acausality 610 $adecoherence 610 $aEdition Open Access 610 $ahistory of science 610 $aMPRL 610 $ano-signaling 610 $aphilosophy of science 610 $aquantum mechanics 700 $aAdrian Wüthrich (ed.)$4auth$00 702 $aTilman Sauer (ed.)$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910134009203321 996 $aNew Vistas on Old Problems: Recent Approaches to the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics$94828586 997 $aUNINA
