Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics tells us that observation collapses a probability wave into a single definitive outcome, but this isn’t the only interpretation of quantum mechanics.

This has come up in two threads as off topic discussions so I thought it needs its own thread.<BR><BR>I believe that the Copenhagen interpretation is that experimental observation of quantum effects ...

After escaping the Nazis by minutes and then getting smuggled through spy-infested Stockholm, the bomb bay of a British fighter jet might have been a relief to physicist Niels Bohr. His approach to ...

There are quantum mechanics interpretations that suggest the universe is described by a single universal wave function that splits and multiplies constantly, which will produce a new reality for every ...

Lee Smolin is a theoretical physicist whose work has been defined by a rejection of what is known as the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics (the study of how the smallest known things ...

Richard Webb gives the pragmatic version of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics: that it isn't about what is really happening at the unseen, microscopic level, but simply a prescription ...
