Interpretations as Solutions to the Measurement Problem

Simon Friederich

Published Jan 1, 2015• 0 citations

Abstract

Interpretations of quantum theory can be usefully categorised according to which moves they make to avoid the measurement problem. The chapter gives a more systematic exposition of that problem, followed by an overview of the answers that are given by the most popular interpretations. As we shall see, it is helpful to group the interpretations together according to which of the assumptions that lead to the measurement problem they reject. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Motivating a Therapeutic Approach

Simon Friederich

As explained in the previous section, the currently most-discussed interpretations of quantum theory can be classified according to how they (try to) solve the measurement problem. Accounts which are based on what I call the ‘therapeutic’ type of approach to philosophical problems propose a radically different strategy to overcome the measurement problem. The present chapter presents the essential ideas behind therapeutic approaches, briefly sketches their background in the history of philosophy, and explains how one might try to put them to work in the foundations of quantum theory. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Measurement and Quantum States

Yorick Hardy, Willi-Hans Steeb

The interpretation of measurements in quantum mechanics is still under discussion (Healey [84], Bell [9], Redhead [136]). Besides the Copenhagen interpretation we have the many-worlds interpretations (Everett interpretations), the modal interpretations, the decoherence interpretations, the interpretations in terms of (nonlocal) hidden variables, the quantum logical interpretations. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Quantum Probabilities: What Are They?

Simon Friederich

The previous chapter addressed the challenge of making sense of the notion of a quantum state assignment being performed correctly without thereby acknowledging the notion of a quantum state a quantum system ‘is in’. The present chapter discusses what interpretation of quantum probabilities goes best with the account that I have called the ‘Rule Perspective’ and started to develop in the previous chapter. The first section considers what quantum probabilities should be taken to be probabilities of in the Rule Perspective; the second investigates what philosophical interpretation of probabilities applies best to quantum probabilities thus conceived. The third section considers two objections to the resulting account of quantum probabilities. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Quantum Mechanics

Kerstin Fink

The objective of Chapter 4 is to give an overview of the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and their interpretation. Thus this chapter functions as a theoretical preparation for a better understanding of the quantum world and of the knowledge measurement process. First, the terminology of the word “quantum” and its impact on the derivation of the term “knowledge quantum” is explained in Chapter 4.1. Then, the discussion moves to the historical development of quantum mechanics. The key issues and current research field for quantum theory will be given in an overview. The following chapters show some insights into key quantum mechanical concepts such as slit-experiments, wave-particle duality, the Copenhagener interpretation, and quantum probability. Chapter 4 closes with an explanation of the Uncertainty Principle of Werner Heisenberg, especially since the Uncertainty Principle is used to derive the knowledge measurement process through the method of analogical reasoning. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Theories and Interpretations

Olímpia Lombardi

Abstract The purpose of this book is to present an interpretation of quantum mechanics. But what are we talking about when we speak of “quantum mechanics?” Are we talking about a single theory or about many related theories? And what do we mean by “interpretation” here? In this chapter, I will address these questions in an introductory way. Of course, I do not intend to take part in the extensive discussions about what a scientific theory is, what is meant by interpreting a theory, in what situation we encounter equivalent theories, and many other questions related to or derived from these. My aim here is to present some preliminary ideas in a way that I hope will be sufficient to avoid misunderstandings in the following chapters. But, above all, I will state my position as to why, after so many years and so much literature on the subject, the interpretation of quantum mechanics deserves further discussion.
