It provides a comprehensive introduction to the current understanding of quantum foundations and details three influential experiments that significantly advance our understanding of three core aspects of this problem. The first experiment demonstrates that the quantum wavefunction is part of objective reality, if there is any such reality in our world. The second experiment shows that quantum correlations cannot be explained in terms of cause and effect, even when considering superluminal influences between measurement outcomes. The final experiment in this thesis demonstrates a novel uncertainty relation for joint quantum measurements, where the textbook relation does not apply. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aPhilosophy of nature 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 606 $aPhilosophy of Nature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34040 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Nature. 676 $a530.12 700 $aRingbauer$b Martin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0821819 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254601503321 996 $aExploring Quantum Foundations with Single Photons$91830174 997 $aUNINA
