![]() And physicists have been able to isolate ever larger molecules and keep them in states of quantum superposition. We see this in experiments, where particles that interact don’t experience collapse, but merely become entangled. ![]() The basic idea is that the wave function never collapses, it just becomes entangled with the waves of other quantum systems. Doing so leads to a deterministic theory that explain our observations and preserves realism and locality, which makes it broadly compatible with special and general relativity. Its central premise is that we should ask what happens if quantum systems evolve solely based on the Schrodinger equation. Nothing in Carroll’s book invalidated that description, so if you need the basics, check it out.Ĭarroll’s broad point is the MWI, in terms of the mathematical postulates, is the most austere interpretation. ![]() ![]() I gave a primer on this back in December. I was going to wait to post this until I’d completely finished, but all I’ve got left is the appendix, I perceive that I’ve gotten through the main points, and discussion on the previous post is veering in this direction.Īs widely reported, Carroll is an advocate for the Everettian interpretation of quantum mechanics, generally known as the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI). I’m just about finished reading Sean Carroll’s Something Deeply Hidden. ![]()
