Interpretation of quantum mechanics

  • Copenhagen interpretation
  • Bohm's hidden variable theory
  • Collapse Theories e.g. GRW Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber
  • DeWitt's splitting worlds theory
  • Many worlds theory (Everett, David Deutsch)
  • Many-minds theory Albert and Loewer
  • The Bare theory (David Albert) doi:10.1093/bjps/55.2.257
  • Conspiracy theories of quantum mechanics

Notes

  • GRW predicts slight failure in conservation of energy.

  • Local hidden variable possible provided there are pre-measurement correlations
