| name = Arkady Bolotin&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Arkady Bolotin&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a researcher at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev who works on the foundations of quantum mechanics. He is listed in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Work==&lt;br /&gt;
Bolotin argues that the quantum measurement problem may have a computational, rather than purely physical, character. In &amp;quot;Limits of reductionism and the measurement problem&amp;quot; (arXiv:1301.0002; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Physics Essays&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 26, 350–357, 2013), he asks whether the difficulty of solving the Schrödinger equation for an arbitrarily large system reflects an intrinsic property of nature, and whether that difficulty could itself resolve the measurement problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In related papers, including &amp;quot;Computational Solution to Quantum Foundational Problems&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;The paradox of classical reasoning,&amp;quot; he contends that requiring quantum linearity to apply at all physical scales would imply the existence of a generic algorithm able to solve the Schrödinger equation for any system in reasonable time, and he treats the apparent impossibility of such an algorithm as an argument against a strictly reductionist description of macroscopic systems. These positions run counter to the mainstream view that quantum mechanics applies universally in principle.&lt;br /&gt;
