In Our Mind’s Eye: Thinkable and Unthinkable, and Classical and Quantum in Fundamental Physics, with Schrödinger’s Cat Experiment [PDF]
EntropyThis article reconsiders E. Schrödinger’s cat paradox experiment from a new perspective, grounded in the interpretation of quantum mechanics that belongs to the class of interpretations designated as “reality without realism” (RWR) interpretations. These

Reexamine Copenhagen Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
International Journal of Physics, 2021 We reexamined the Copenhagen interpretations of quantum mechanics from the perspectives of mathematical deduction, logic reasoning process and intrinsic physical nature of wave function.

Decoherence, the measurement problem, and interpretations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2003 Environment-induced decoherence and superselection have been a subject of intensive research over the past two decades, yet their implications for the foundational problems of quantum mechanics, most notably the quantum measurement problem, have remained

Lagrangian Description for Particle Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics: Entangled Many-Particle Case [PDF]
Foundations of physics, 2015 A Lagrangian formulation is constructed for particle interpretations of quantum mechanics, a well-known example of such an interpretation being the Bohm model.

Teaching and understanding of quantum interpretations in modern physics courses
Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2010 Just as expert physicists vary in their personal stances on interpretation in quantum mechanics, instructors vary on whether and how to teach interpretations of quantum phenomena in introductory modern physics courses.

Quantum Information Dimension and Geometric Entropy
PRX Quantum, 2022 Geometric quantum mechanics, through its differential-geometric underpinning, provides additional tools of analysis and interpretation that bring quantum mechanics closer to classical mechanics: state spaces in both are continuous and equipped with ...

A no-go theorem for the persistent reality of Wigner’s friend’s perception
Communications Physics, 2021 Wigner’s friend is a thought experiment in theoretical quantum physics that challenges our understanding of quantum theory. The authors present a no-go theorem constraining the structure of probabilities in such a thought experiment and analyze the ...
