Against ‘Interpretation’: Quantum Mechanics Beyond Syntax and Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The question “what is an interpretation?” often intertwined with the perhaps even harder a scientific theory?”. Given this proximity, we try to clarify first acquire some ground for latter. quarrel between syntactic and semantic conceptions of theories occupied large part scenario philosophy science in 20th century. For many authors, one two currents needed be victorious. We endorse that such debate, at least terms commonly expressed, can misleading. argue traditional notion “interpretation” within syntax/semantic debate not same as concerning interpretation quantum mechanics. As much term same, employed mechanics has its meaning beyond (pure) logic. Our main focus here lies on formal aspects solutions measurement problem. There are versions theory, them incompatible each other. In order encompass wider variety approaches propose different emphasis pure formalism. This perspective intent elucidating role so-called mechanics, well precise origin need interpret it.

متن کاملQuantum mechanics without interpretation
It is shown that the independence of the continuum hypothesis points to the unique definite status of the set of intermediate cardinality: the intermediate set exists only as a subset of continuum. This latent status is a consequence of duality of the members of the set. Due to the structural inhomogeneity of the intermediate set, its complete description falls into several “sections” (theories...
متن کاملInterpretation of Quantum Mechanics
We modify the Relative State Interpretation (RSI) of Quantum Mechanics so that it does not imply many worlds and parallel realities. We drop the assumption that probability amplitudes correspond one-to-one with reality: Not all information is contained in amplitudes, and not all amplitudes need be realized. Amplitudes do not “collapse” after a measurement, but evolve continuously, including unr...

It should be noted that the dilemma with Schrödinger’s cat can partly be remedied by observing that a measurement in the CI sense does not have to registered by a conscious mind. It is not even necessary to perform the measurement in order to obtain a reduction of the wave function—it is sufficient that a measurement CAN be performed, as is demonstrated by ”Mandel’s amazing experiment” [Phys. R...
متن کاملQuantumness beyond quantum mechanics
Bohmian mechanics allows us to understand quantum systems in the light of other quantum traits than the well-known ones (coherence, diffraction, interference, tunnelling, discreteness, entanglement, etc.). Here the discussion focusses precisely on two of these interesting aspects, which arise when quantum mechanics is thought within this theoretical framework: the non-crossing property, which a...
