In the summer of 1926, a statistical element was introduced for the first time in the fundamental laws of physics in two papers by Born. After a brief account of Born's earlier involvements with quantum physics, including his bringing the new mechanics to the United States, the motivation for and contents of Born's two papers are discussed. The reaction of his colleagues is described.

Copenhagen interpretation, as the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics currently, bases on Mach?s positivistic philosophy. It takes the Max Born?s statistical interpretation of wave function, the

I examined the Statistical Ensemble Interpretation (SEI) of quantum mechanics. Historical reappraisal of Max Born's statistical interpretation shows precisely how Born used the concept of the probability. After investigating the so-called Ensemble Interpretation proposed by Albert Einstein based on ...
