On Measurement Problem In Quantum Mechanics
In Quantum Mechanics, we have a problem. All quantum mechanical entities, whatever they are, can be represented or considered or expressed as and by a classical mathematical waves. Actually, it is the states that are being represented as or by waves. When observed/measured, the state is the eigenstate, and when not measured, the state is called the superposition of states. Superposition states, as it must be clear by the name, are the superposition of the all the eigenstates i.e. a mixture of all the eigenstates interfering with each other, and thus this interference of all the eigenstates being called the ‘Superposition’. Well, the terms and ideas like superposition and such are all from the classical wave mechanics, there is something inherently different in quantum mechanical version or treatment of these, which comes all together when measurement is considered, hence the ‘measurement problem’. Now, we bring the ideas of wave mechanics, the quantum uncertainty, and correspond or ass...
