Chapter 19: Mioara Mugur-Schachter: Information, Quantum Mechanics and Probabilities

Professor Mioara Mugur-Schachter, http://www.mugur-schachter.net is a physicist, mathematician and philosopher specialising in quantum mechanics, probability theory, information theory and epistemology. Her PhD thesis (supervised by Nobel laureate Louis de Broglie) contains the first invalidation of von Neumann's famous proof stating the impossibility of hidden parameters compatible with the quantum mechanical formalism. This result was included in the volume “Etude du caractére complet de la mécanique quantique”, (with a preface by L. de Broglie) published in the collection “Les grands problémes des sciences”, Gauthiers Villars, Paris, 1964, two years before Bell's invalidation…
