Panel Discussion on Alternative Interpretations in Quantum Mechanics
The quantum theory has known a very successful first 100 years in terms of describing various phenomena and predicting new ones. The math behind it is solid and new technological advancements are leading a second quantum revolution. However, despite the numerous successes, some fundamental questions remain open:
- What is the nature of the wave function?
- What are the physics of a wave function collapse in a measurement process?
- Why do we experience the world so classically and how far can we push quantum effects?
- What about the alternative interpretations in quantum mechanics?
While important, these questions are usually only discussed briefly in the usual physics curriculum, if discussed at all. Therefore, in light of the 100th anniversary, the Antwerp Young Minds will be organizing a panel discussion around these fundamental questions. Several experts will be given the stage to discuss various interpretations and open problems in a moderated debate.
