The Many

The articles provides a phenomenological reading of the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics and its answer to the measurement problem, or the question of “why only one of a wave function’s probable values is observed when the system is measured.” Transcendental-phenomenological and hermeneutic-phenomenological approaches are employed. The project comprises four parts. Parts one and two review MWI and the standard (Copenhagen) interpretation of quantum mechanics. Part three reviews the phenomenologies. Part four deconstructs the hermeneutics of MWI. It agrees with the confidence the theory derives from its (1) unforgiving appropriation of the Schrödinger equation and (2) association of branching universes with the evolution of the wave function insofar as that understanding comes from the formalism itself. Part four also reveals the hermeneutical shortcomings of the standard interpretation.

Many Worlds Interpretation

In quantum mechanics, quantum suicide is a thought experiment, originally published independently by Hans Moravec in1987 and Bruno Marchal in 1988, and independently developed further by Max Tegmark in 1998. It attempts to distinguish betweenthe Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the Everett many-worlds interpretation by means of a variation of theSchrodinger's cat thought experiment, from the cat's point of view. Quantum immortality refers to the subjective experience ofsurviving quantum suicide regardless of the odds. The paper is a survey of the experiment of quantum suicide.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1808-1711.2015v19n3p343This paper presents Erwin Schrödinger’s Wave Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, with the main goal of comparing it to the so called Many Worlds Interpretation, of which Bryce DeWitt is the most important figure. It is commonly said that DeWitt’s and Everett’s Interpretations are equivalent, and both would have been inspired by Schrödinger’s wave-like approach. This paper claims those stances to be superficial, requiring a more detailed exam of the philosophical grounds held by the authors, besides other distinguishing details. A connexion may be established concerning the rejection of the quantum collapse, although one should be careful about the meaning of the term in each standpoint. This article also shows the balance of Schrödinger’s Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics in regard to his philosophy in a wider sense. Finally, it concludes that detaching Schrödinger’s interpretation from Many Worlds is more coherent with his philosophical assumptions; he conceives a single world containing infinite possibilities.

Limiting Case

There are fundamental reasons why there should exist a reformulation of quantum mechanics which does not refer to a classical space–time manifold. It follows that quantum mechanics as we know it is a limiting case of a more general nonlinear quantum theory, with the nonlinearity becoming significant at the Planck mass/energy scale. This nonlinearity is responsible for a dynamically induced collapse of the wave function, during a quantum measurement, and it hence falsifies the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. We illustrate this conclusion using a mathematical model based on a generalized Doebner–Goldin equation. The non-Hermitian part of the Hamiltonian in this norm-preserving, nonlinear, Schrödinger equation dominates during a quantum measurement, and leads to a breakdown of linear superposition.
