本文质疑经典物理学作为量子力学极限的传统观点,指出量子力学揭示的测量问题等深层困难早已潜藏于经典物理学中,并探讨伦敦-鲍尔解释和QBism作为拥抱这一重构的范例。
AI 中文摘要
量子力学被合理地认为是人类有史以来最成功的物理理论;然而,经过一个世纪的争论,其数学形式体系仍未存在普遍接受的解释。我们考察了经典物理学作为量子力学低作用量极限这一具体主张,认为量子形式体系所揭示的深层解释性困难——测量问题、主客体分立以及科学表征的本质——在经典物理学中早已潜藏,构成了我们所谓的客观性盲点。将量子理论视为重新审视捆绑在“经典物理学”中的隐含形而上学承诺的邀请,我们探讨两个关键问题——客观/主观分裂与理论表征的本质——并论证量子力学本身并不代表与经典物理学的决裂,而是将先前未被承认的哲学假设置于聚光灯下。我们讨论伦敦-鲍尔解释和QBism作为拥抱这种更广泛概念重构的解释范例。
英文摘要
Quantum mechanics is justifiably held to be the most successful physical theory ever created; yet no universally accepted interpretation of its mathematical formalism exists after a century of debate. We examine the specific claim that classical physics stands as the low-action limit of quantum mechanics, arguing that the deep interpretive difficulties exposed by the quantum formalism, the measurement problem, the subject-object divide, and the nature of scientific representation, were already latent in classical physics, constituting what we call a blind spot of objectivity. Taking quantum theory as an invitation to re-examine the implicit metaphysical commitments bundled with 'classical physics', we explore two key issues-the objective/subjective split and the nature of theoretical representation-and argue that quantum mechanics does not represent a break with classical physics per se but rather brings previously unacknowledged philosophical assumptions into the limelight. We discuss the London-Bauer interpretation and QBism as exemplars of interpretations that embrace this broader reconceptualisation.
