Antony Valentini''s principal research interests lie in foundations of quantum theory. His central tenet is that quantum theory is not fundamental but merely describes a statistical equilibrium state, which the universe happens to be in at the present time. He has extended the de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave formulation of quantum theory to nonequilibrium distributions outside the domain of standard quantum physics, and is searching for evidence of the nonequilibrium breakdown of quantum mechanics in the early universe.Antony is completing a book that re-examines modern physics (including quantum gravity, black holes, cosmology, inflation, quantum information and computation) from a pilot-wave and general hidden-variables viewpoint. Antony Valentini studied Mathematics and Physics at Cambridge University, obtained his PhD in Astrophysics at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste with cosmologist Dennis Sciama, and held postdoctoral positions at the University of Rome and at Imperial College London. He spent many years outside academia, working independently.
