Description

Beyond the well-known epistemological and foundational problems of quantum theory (measurement theory, entanglement, classical limit, etc.), there are others conceptual questions which have been somewhat neglected in the past decades.
I will discuss five of these open questions, all connected with the notion of spin:
‐ the puzzle of the intrinsic magnetic moment
‐ the spin-forces connexion
‐ the spin-statistics connexion
‐ the spin-charges connexion
‐ the mystery of spin renormalization
