Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
The problems of modern physics are man made. The Copenhagen version of quantum mechanics is formulated in a vague prosaic way, inconsistencies and paradoxes are the price. New interpretations try to solve the problem, however a reformulation rather than an interpretation is needed. In this manuscript I will point out, where the Copenhagen formulation of quantum mechanics is flawed and how one can make sense out of it. Then I will show, that it is possible to give a precise formulation of quantum mechanics without losing its compelling ability in describing experiments.

What Connects Different Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics?
We investigate the idea that different interpretations of quantum mechanics can be seen as restrictions of the consistent (or decoherent) histories quantum mechanics of closed systems to particular classes of histories, together with the approximations and descriptions of these histories that the restrictions permit.
متن کاملNanoscale Technology: A Two-Sided Challenge for Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
In this contribution I consider the consequences of using quantum mechanics in nanoscale technology. I argue that this use leads to a problem that poses a two-sided challenge for interpretations of quantum mechanics. Firstly I present the problem: engineers typically ascribe technical functions to artifacts; function ascriptions imply particular physical descriptions of artifacts, and quantum m...
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 کاملCoexistence of several interpretations of quantum mechanics and the fruitfulness of scientific works
The coexistence of several interpretations of one theory is considered through the example of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The problem considered is whether physicists manage to work properly in spite of the several interpretations. The criterion adopted is the possibility of re-using others’ works for another research: this is called “fruitfulness of works”. It is argued that such a fru...
متن کاملThe Myth of Quantum Consciousness
The myth of quantum consciousness holds that quantum mechanics provides a scientific basis for ancient notions in which the human mind is connected to a universal consciousness and is able to exert control over the very nature of reality. This is shown to be a misreading of the significance of some interpretations of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, other interpretations exist which suggest no s...
