This episode of the Popperian Podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Flavio Del Santo. They speak about Karl Popper’s changing theories about, and proposed experiments for, understanding the foundations of quantum mechanics, from his earliest publications and up until his death.

Flavio Del Santo is Schrödinger Fellow at the University of Geneva, the Group of Applied Physics; Faculty at Constructor University in Geneva; and Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna. Flavio works on the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum communication, history of modern physics; fundamental differences between quantum and classical physics; interpretations of quantum mechanics; and the social and historical development of modern science.
