Abstract
Abstract
This abstract provides an overview of key topics central to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, exploring various
theories and their unique perspectives. It delves into the concept of “quantum superposition” and its physical implications,
exemplified by the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment. The “measurement problem” is addressed, questioning the
nature of “measurement,” the application of Schrödinger’s equation, and the interaction between measurement devices
and wave functions in determining probabilities. Additionally, the study examines the relationship between quantum
mechanics and determinism. Finally, it considers potential conflicts between quantum mechanics and other established
physical theories, such as special relativity, highlighted by the EPR paradox
