 Quantum Theory, Objectification and Some Memories of Giovanni MorchioLuca Sciortino ()
A chapter in Trails in Modern Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 2023, pp 295-303 from Springer Abstract: Abstract More than twenty-two years have passed by since, as a young student at the physics department at the University of Pisa, I met Giovanni Morchio (1948–2021) for the first time. After taking his courses on mathematical methods for physics and of quantum mechanics, from 2000 to 2002 I have worked with him on a M.Sc. thesis entitled “The Problem of Objectification in Quantum Theory: the Case of Pyramidal Molecules” 10. Even after so much time, some of his statements, expressed during our research meetings, still flash through my mind from time to time. They are short, almost lapidary sentences, expressed in a very colloquial language, yet logically rigorous and dense of meaning, which have generated reflections, produced ideas and suggested ways of approaching problems throughout all my intellectual life, sometimes even in my research work in philosophy of science and in my activity as a science writer. I consider the ability of Gianni (as he was informally known) to be present in a person’s mind and to fertilize it as the rare gift of a few teachers as well as of the great masters of thought.
