Summary
12 June 1999, “Interest in Pauli”
I have come across a reference to a paper of yours that I have not been able to obtain. May I ask of you to send me a reprint of it? The paper is:
C. P. Enz, “Wolfgang Pauli and the Role of the Observer in Modern Physics,” in Philosophy of the Natural Sciences: Proceedings of the 13th International Wittgenstein Symposium, edited by P. Weingartner and G. Schurz (Verlag Holder–Pichler–Temsky, Vienna, 1989), pp. 110–119.
I have read several of your other papers on Pauli's thought and have been uniformly pleased with each. I am especially interested in his ideas concerning the demise of the “detached-observer” notion within quantum theory. (I would also be interested in any of your other works on the subject that may have been written since your 1992 article, “Wolfgang Pauli between Quantum Reality and the Royal Path of Dreams.” This is the latest one that I am aware of.)
About myself, I am a theoretical physicist at Caltech who specializes in quantum information theory and quantum computing. I am well acquainted with your colleague Nicolas Gisin at the University of Geneva.
21 August 1999, “One More Article?”
Upon my return from Cambridge a couple of weeks ago, I found in my mailbox your package full of wonderful papers! Thank you so much.
