Description for The Modal Interpretation Of Quantum Mech
Hardback. The standard mathematical framework of quantum mechanics specifies the physical magnitudes of a system. This work explains the forms of the modal interpretation, surveys its achievements, and discusses the problems, and is intended for philosophers of science, theoretical physicists, and graduate students in these disciplines. Editor(s): Dieks, Dennis; Vermaas, Pieter E. Series: The Western Ontario Series in Philosophy of Science. Num Pages: 388 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PDA; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 730.
According to the modal interpretation, the standard mathematical framework of quantum mechanics specifies the physical magnitudes of a system, which have definite values. Probabilities are assigned to the possible values that these magnitudes may adopt. The interpretation is thus concerned with physical properties rather than with measurement results: it is a realistic interpretation (in the sense of scientific realism). One of the notable achievements of this interpretation is that it dissolves the notorious measurement problem.
