What follows is a fairly complete transcript of a discussion about quantum physics on May 19, 1994, the last day of a workshop in Santa Fe, N.M. It begins with some technical issues, posed by John ...

Our measurement problem requires some solution, even if our solution needs continual refinement. We need some flexible agreement if our assessments are to communicate other than how we each personally ...

Quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory that does not describe individual events. Yet when we perform a single measurement, we find a well-defined outcome. This apparent contradiction, known as ...

It is possible that the view of consciousness that I have been exploring, that the mind-brain system is a quantum cohering-decohering-recohering system in an environment, may shed light on the mighty ...

(via PBS Space Time) The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem, and it’s arguably the most mysterious outstanding problem in ...

This morning on BBC Radio 4, the mathematician Roger Penrose, physicist Basil Hiley, and philosopher Simon Saunders had a lively discussion about the “measurement problem in physics” with broadcaster ...
