Quantum mechanics, interpretation of
2018Quantum mechanics developed in the early part of the twentieth century in response to the discovery that energy is quantized, that is, comes in discrete units. At the microscopic level this leads to odd phenomena: light displays particle-like characteristics and particles such as electrons produce wave-like interference patterns.

Consistent interpretation of quantum mechanics using quantum trajectories
Physical Review Letters, 1993Summary: The probabilistic element of quantum theory can be combined with the unitary time evolution of Schrödinger's equation in a natural and consistent way using the idea of a quantum trajectory, the quantum analog of the trajectory traced out in phase space as a function of time by a point representing the state of a closed classical system.

The Causal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Physical Review, 1953In connection with the discussion given in a previous note, a classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation associated with the Schr\"odinger function in momentum space is derived. Certain "extra" terms in this equation are shown to be of quantum-mechanical origin.

Max Born's Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
Science, 1982In 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.

Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
2013The great importance of quantum mechanics for our current view of the physical world is undisputed. In the previous chapters, we have gotten an idea of how coherent it is as a theory, of how powerful it is in the treatment of various practical issues, from the hydrogen atom to the quantum computer, and what insight it provides into problems that were ...

The interpretation of quantum mechanics through1935
Annalen der Physik, 2000AbstractI first define what I mean by the term ‘interpretation’, then trace some of the major developments in attempts to fashion an interpretation of quantum mechanics from its early mathematical formulation (ca. 1925) up through the Einstein‐Podolsky‐Rosen paper, Bohr's response to it, and Schrödinger's insights on entanglement, in 1935.

Modal Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
2022Modal interpretations are interpretations of unitary quantum mechanics (“no-collapse quantum mechanics”) in terms of possible physical states of affairs (characterized by definite values of a number of physical quantities, “beables”) and their probabilities.

Survey of the Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics
American Journal of Physics, 1956A 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?

Einstein's Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
American Journal of Physics, 1972Einstein's arguments concerning the interpretation of quantum mechanics are reviewed and contrasted with certain misconceptions regarding his attitude toward the theory. He considered Born's statistical interpretation to be the only satisfactory one, and he was not a supporter of hidden-variable theories such as that of Bohm.
