My understanding is that "Wave function collapse" is an artifact of one of the many possible ways of describing quantum mechanics mathematically. There's really nothing to remove, is there?
- dragonwriter 5y ago> My understanding is that "Wave function collapse" is an artifact of one of the many possible ways of describing quantum mechanics mathematically. The contention seems to be that the Copenhagen interpretation elevates wave function collapse from mathematical artifact to real phenomenon.
- feoren 5y agoSure, but the Copenhagen interpretation is basically rejected as absurdist and is unnecessary for the exact same reason. It's also trying to give a physical explanation for an artifact of one of the many mathematical representations of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger's Cat is a reductio ad-absurditum to disprove the Copenhagen interpretation!
