SUMMARY:The Quantum Measurement Problem - Emily Adlam
DTSTART:20150308T160000Z

UID:TALK58321@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:George Fortune
DESCRIPTION:Despite being an extraordinarily successful theory\, quantum m
 echanics as it stands is manifestly incomplete\, because there is no conse
 nsus about how the mathematical formalism can be read as a description of 
 physical reality. Consequently\, there exists considerable debate over how
  we should ‘interpret’ quantum mechanics – that is\, what it tells u
 s about how the world really works. In this talk I will discuss a range of
  proposed interpretations\, including Niels Bohr’s ‘Copenhagen interpr
 etation\,’ theories of spontaneous\, consciousness-based and gravitation
 al collapse\, the Everett (many-worlds) interpretation\, and the de Brogli
 e-Bohm interpretation\, briefly touching on the principal advantages and d
 ifficulties associated with each.
