Who is opposed to the idea that measurement is entanglement?
- lisper 9y agoAnyone who defends the Copenhagen interpretation. To be more precise, anyone who thinks that the "measurement problem" is still an unresolved problem, or anyone who defends the concept of "wave function collapse" as having any scientific or pedagogical merit whatsoever, except as a historical example of how science can go badly wrong. Richard Feynman would be the poster child for this point of view were he alive today. Freeman Dyson defended it to me the last time I spoke to him, but that was 20 years ago so maybe he's come around. According to a poll taken in 2013 [1] Copenhagen was the most popular interpretation among physicists. Sean Carroll apparently thinks Copenhagen is tenable [2] along with many of his commenters.
