Quantum Probability as an Application of Data Compression Principles
Realist, no-collapse interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as Everett’s, face the probability problem: how to justify the norm-squared (Born) rule from the wavefunction alone. While any basis-independent measure can only be norm-squared (due to the Gleason-Busch Theorem) this fact conflicts with various popular, non-wavefunction-based phenomenological measures—such as observer, outcome or ...
متن کاملOn the Four-color-map Theorem
Coloring planar Feynman diagrams in spinor quantum electrodynamics, is a non trivial model soluble without computer. Four colors are necessary and sufficient.
متن کاملComplementarity and the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
But first we shall briefly discuss the general issue of interpretations of Quantum Mechanics, and briefly describe two interpretations. The discussion assumes some knowledge of the Feynman Double Slit, such as is discussed here; it also assumes some knowledge of Schrödinger's Cat, such as is discussed here. Finally, further discussion of interpretations of Quantum Mechanics can be meaningfully ...
متن کاملThe Contextual Character of Modal Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
In this article we discuss the contextual character of quantum mechanics in the framework of modal interpretations. We investigate its historical origin and relate contemporary modal interpretations to those proposed by M. Born and W. Heisenberg. We present then a general characterization of what we consider to be a modal interpretation. Following previous papers in which we have introduced mod...
متن کاملRevised Proof of the Uniqueness Theorem for “No Collapse” Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
We show that the Bub-Clifton uniqueness theorem for ‘no collapse’ interpretations of quantum mechanics (1996) can be proved without the ‘weak separability’ assumption. Bub and Clifton (1996) proved a uniqueness theorem for ‘no collapse’ interpretations of quantum mechanics. The proof was repeated, with minor modifications, in (Bub, 1997). The original proof involved a ‘weak separability’ assump...
