Quantum Potential: Physics, Geometry and Algebra

Ignazio Licata is an Italian theoretical physicist, professor  and scientific director of the Institute for Scientific Methodology, Italy. He worked on quantum field theory, interpretation of quantum mechanics, and  recently quantum cosmology. His further topics of research include the foundation of quantum mechanics, space-time at Planck scale, the group  approach in quantum cosmology, systems theory, non-linear dynamics, as well  as computation in physical, biological and cognitive systems (logical  openness, sub and super Turing systems). Licata has developed a new approach to quantum cosmology ("Archaic Universe") based on de Sitter  invariant special relativity.
