Vaxjo Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

Published Feb 19, 2002• 14 citations

Abstract

We present critical arguments against individual interpretation of Bohr’s complementarity and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principles. Statistical interpretation of these principles is discussed in the contextual framework. We support the possibility to use Statistical Contextual Realist Interpretation of quantum formalism. In spite of all no-go theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell,...), recently (quant-ph/0306003 and 0306069) we constructed a realist basis of quantum mechanics. In our model both classical and quantum spaces are rough images of the fundamental prespace. Quantum mechanics cannot be reduced to classical one. Both classical and quantum representations induce reductions of prespace information. ”Often we enter the unknown edifice of a new scientific discipline through a lesser gate that leads us into a side passage. It may take us a long while to find our way to the main portal and to view the whole structure in its proper perspective”. E. Schrödinger 1

Växjö Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

We present critical arguments against individual interpretation of Bohr's complementarity and Heisenberg's uncertainty principles. Statistical interpretation of these principles is discussed in the contextual framework. We support the possibility to use Statistical Contextual Realist Interpretation of quantum formalism. In spite of all {\bf no-go} theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell,...), recently (quant-ph/0306003 and 0306069) we constructed a realist basis of quantum mechanics. In our model both classical and quantum spaces are rough images of the fundamental {\bf prespace.} Quantum mechanics cannot be reduced to classical one. Both classical and quantum representations induce reductions of prespace information.

In spite of all {\bf no-go} theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell,...) we constructed a realist basis of quantum mechanics. In our model both classical and quantum spaces b are rough images of the fundamental {\bf prespace.} Quantum mechanics cannot be reduced to classical one. Both classical and quantum representations induce reductions of prespace information.

Information Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

We start with discussion on Bohr’s response to the EPR argument andexplain how Bohr was able to sail between Scylla (incompleteness) andCharybdis (nonlocality) towards the consistent interpretation of quantumtheory. We call the latter the Bohr interpretation and distinguish it fromthe commonly used orthodox Copenhagen interpretation. We point to connectionbetween the complementarity principle and the information interpretationof QM and briefly discuss its versions, starting withSchrödinger and continuing to the information quantization interpretation(Zeilinger, Brukner), QBism (Fuchs et al.), reality without realism (RWR,Plotnitsky), the Växjö interpretation (Khrennikov), and derivations of thequantum formalism from the information axioms (e.g., D’Ariano et al.). Oneof the main distinguishing features of the information interpretation is the possibility of structuring thequantum foundations without nonlocality and spooky actionat a distance.

The Contextual Character of Modal Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

Graciela Domenech, Héctor Freytes, Christian DE RONDE

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 modalities in the Kochen-Specker theorem, we investigate the consequences of these theorems in relation to the modal interpretations of quantum mechanics.

Contextual approach to quantum mechanics and the theory of the fundamental prespace

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

We constructed a Hilbert space representation of a contextual Kolmogorov model. This representation is based on two fundamental observables—in the standard quantum model these are the position and momentum observables. This representation has all distinguishing features of the quantum model. Our representation is not standard model with hidden variables. In particular, this is not a reduction of the quantum model to the classical one.

Epistemology of quantum mechanics: the Växjö viewpoint

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

This paper summarizes the experience of the Växjö series of conferences - the longest series of conferences on foundations of quantum mechanics. One of the main lessons of this series is that the present state of development of quantum theory does not exclude a possibility to elaborate a local realistic interpretation. One of such interpretations, the Växjö interpretation, combines realism and contextuality. And it became recognized worldwide.
