Open questions in quantum physics

The aim of the Bari workshop on Open Questions in Quantum Physics was to discuss, in the light of recent critical developments, the logical and conceptual difficulties of quantum mechanics and to propose some possible resolutions of three basic conceptual dilemmas that are posed by: a) the physical developments of the E.P.R. argument and of Bell's theorem, i.e. the problem of the logical and empirical contrast between local realism and quantum mechanics, with special reference to a new variant proposed by Popper; b) the stochastic interpretation of quantum processes both according to the de Broglie school and to the approaches of Bohm and Vigier; c) the wave-particle duality and the testability of the physical properties of quantum waves according to the experimental proposals of Selleri and others.
