philosophy of physics
Basically there is no physics experimental evidence that can make one formulation or interpretation distinguish itself from others.
9 formulations of quantum mechanics
- Matrix - Heisenberg
- Wave function - Schrodinger
- Path Integral - Feynman
- Phase Space - Wigner
- Density Matrix
- Second Quantization
- Variational Formulation
- Pilot Wave - de Brogile-Bohm
- Hamiltonian-Jacobi
5 Important Aspects of an interpretation
There are many standards to evaluate a theory, there are 5 most important ones.
- Determinism?
- Is there are Hidden Variables?
- Do wavefunction collapse?
- What is the role of observer?
- Locality?
6 basic interpretations of quantum mechanics
- Consistent History
- Copenhagen
- De Broglie-Bohm
- Everett
- Information based
- Objective collapse (GRW / Penrose)
