论文摘要
量子测量问题可以说是量子力学哲学中最讨论的问题之一,因为它不仅代表了该理论的标准表述的技术困难,而且还代表了有关量子假设含义的解释性争议的根源。与QMP密切相关的另一个难题是Wigner Friend Paradox,这是一个思想实验,强调了量子系统行为的两个动态定律之间的不一致,即Schrödinger方程和投影规则。因此,每个旨在被视为QM的合理表述的替代解释都必须对与量子测量相关的这些难题提供解释。本文的目的是在关系量子力学的背景下讨论它们。实际上,这里显示了该解释框架如何溶解QMP。 More precisely, two variants of this issue are considered: on the one hand, I focus on the "the problem of outcomes" contained in Maudlin (1995) - in which the projection postulate is not mentioned - on the other hand, I take into account Rovelli's reformulation of this problem proposed in Rovelli (2022), where the tension between the Schrödinger equation and the stochastic nature of the collapse rule is explicitly considered.此外,对Wigner的朋友悖论的关系解释也得到了审查,同时也考虑了一些有趣的反对意见,反对Rovelli的理论(2019年)。我认为回答这些关键评论会导致我们对RQM的理解的提高。最后,提出和解决了对QMP关系解决方案的可能反对意见。
The Quantum Measurement Problem is arguably one of the most debated issues in the philosophy of Quantum Mechanics, since it represents not only a technical difficulty for the standard formulation of the theory, but also a source of interpretational disputes concerning the meaning of the quantum postulates. Another conundrum intimately connected with the QMP is the Wigner friend paradox, a thought experiment underlining the incoherence between the two dynamical laws governing the behavior of quantum systems, i.e the Schrödinger equation and the projection rule. Thus, every alternative interpretation aiming to be considered a sound formulation of QM must provide an explanation to these puzzles associated with quantum measurements. It is the aim of the present essay to discuss them in the context of Relational Quantum Mechanics. In fact, it is shown here how this interpretative framework dissolves the QMP. More precisely, two variants of this issue are considered: on the one hand, I focus on the "the problem of outcomes" contained in Maudlin (1995) - in which the projection postulate is not mentioned - on the other hand, I take into account Rovelli's reformulation of this problem proposed in Rovelli (2022), where the tension between the Schrödinger equation and the stochastic nature of the collapse rule is explicitly considered. Moreover, the relational explanation to the Wigner's friend paradox is reviewed, taking also into account some interesting objections contra Rovelli's theory contained in Laudisa (2019). I contend that answering these critical remarks leads to an improvement of our understanding of RQM. Finally, a possible objection against the relational solution to the QMP is presented and addressed.
