Survey of the Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

American Journal of Physics, 1956
A survey is made of the hitherto proposed answers to the following crucial questions arising in the physical interpretation of the mathematical formalism of wave mechanics: (I) What is the meaning of the dynamical variables and of their eigenvalues? (II) What is the meaning of the wave function?

Does science need intersubjectivity? The problem of confirmation in orthodox interpretations of quantum mechanics

Synthese, 2022
Any successful interpretation of quantum mechanics must explain how our empirical evidence allows us to come to know about quantum mechanics. In this article, we argue that this vital criterion is not met by the class of ‘orthodox interpretations,’ which

Epistemic–Pragmatist Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics: A Comparative Assessment

Foundations of physics, 2022
In this paper, we investigate similarities and differences between the main neo-Copenhagen (or “epistemic–pragmatist”) interpretations of quantum mechanics, here identified as those defined by the rejection of an ontological nature of the quantum states ...

Reichenbach’s Interpretation of Quantum-Mechanics

Philosophical Studies, 1958
In Section III of his paper H. Putnam1 deals with Reichenbach’s attempt to interpret quantum mechanics on the basis of a three-valued logic, and he uses some arguments of his own in order to show that this attempt is “a move in the direction of simplifying the whole system of laws” (104).

Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Science, 1955
The published work for which the honor of the Nobel prize for the year 1954 has been accorded to me does not contain the discovery of a new phenomenon of nature but, rather, the foundations of a new way of thinking about the phenomena of nature. This way of thinking has permeated experimental and theoretical physics to such an extent that it seems ...

What Connects Different Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

, 2003
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 ...

Interpretation of quantum mechanics

Physics Letters A, 1987
Abstract New axioms are proposed for the interpretation of quantum mechanics. They rest on a kind of calculus allowing to select meaningful physical statements and giving rules to check a given physical reasoning containing implications. Measurement theory is reformulated.
