Some Thought-Experiments Involving Macrosystems as Illustrations of Various Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

I consider various experiments related to the so-called `̀ macroscopic quantum coherence’’ experiment, which are probably at present in the class of `̀ thought’’ experiment but are likely to become realistic in the next few decades. I explore the way in which outcomes consistent with the predictions of quantum mechanics would be interpreted by an adherent of , respectively, the Copenhagen , statistical, and Bohmian interpretations of the formalism .
