List of Topics

• In Commemoration of the Physics Ideas and Contributions of Professor Chen-Ning Yang: Reflections on the philosophical implications of Yang’s contributions (e.g., gauge theory, statistical mechanics) and their enduring impact on the philosophy of science.
• The Fundamentals and Philosophical Issues in Quantum Physics: Ontological and epistemological analyses of core concepts like superposition, entanglement, and the measurement problem, focusing on the nature of reality and causality.
• Frontier Philosophical Issues in Quantum Information Technology: Exploring how quantum computing and algorithms reshape our understanding of information, complexity, and the Church-Turing thesis.
• Ethical Issues Based on Quantum, Intelligence, and Life Sciences: Ethical inquiries at the intersection of these frontiers, addressing AI safety, bioethics, and the societal risks of quantum technology.
• Logical Permeationism: Investigating whether unified logical principles permeate diverse scientific domains (physics, biology, AI) or if each field requires a unique logical foundation.
