A new interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests that reality does not depend on the person measuring it

Phys.org October 6, 2020
According to the traditional interpretation of the Heisenberg principle, location and momentum cannot be determined simultaneously to an arbitrary degree of precision, as the person conducting the measurement always affects the values. In their study researchers in Finland used stochastic optimal control theory to conclude that the correlation between a location and momentum, i.e., their relationship, is fixed. In other words, reality is an object that does not depend on the person measuring it. In their theory’s frame of reference, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is a manifestation of thermodynamic equilibrium, in which correlations of random variables do not vanish. This interpretation supports such interpretations of quantum mechanics that support classical scientific principles…read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
