量子力学需要解释吗?

Does Quantum Mechanics Need Interpretation?

Louis Marchildon

摘要:

从一开始,量子力学就提出了主要的基础和解释问题。基础研究一直是量子密码学、量子信息理论以及也许有一天实用量子计算机发展的重要因素。许多人认为,反过来,量子信息理论与基础研究有关。这在很大程度上与所谓的量子态的认识论观点有关,这种观点认为态矢量代表系统的信息,并导致了量子理论不需要解释的建议。我认为,这种方法和相关的方法没有考虑到量子力学的两种不同的解释功能,即解释经典现象之间经典上无法解释的相关性和解释经典物体的微观结构。如果解释量子力学意味着回答这样一个问题,“世界怎么可能是量子力学为真的?”,似乎没有办法绕过去。

英文摘要:

Since the beginning, quantum mechanics has raised major foundational and interpretative problems. Foundational research has been an important factor in the development of quantum cryptography, quantum information theory and, perhaps one day, practical quantum computers. Many believe that, in turn, quantum information theory has bearing on foundational research. This is largely related to the so-called epistemic view of quantum states, which maintains that the state vector represents information on a system and has led to the suggestion that quantum theory needs no interpretation. I will argue that this and related approaches fail to take into consideration two different explanatory functions of quantum mechanics, namely that of accounting for classically unexplainable correlations between classical phenomena and that of explaining the microscopic structure of classical objects. If interpreting quantum mechanics means answering the question, "How can the world be for quantum mechanics to be true?", there seems to be no way around it.
