Comparing Quantum Mechanics and String Theory

[Homingbohm]

quantum mechanics has many interpretations, though a lot of them don't disagree in the maths.

i would like to know how each interpratation of quantum mechanics effects string theory, and viceversa: how do the string equations effect the individual interpratations of quantum mechanics. which is the preferred interpratation, among string theorits, of quantum mechanics for string theory.

how would i search out this information?

Typical string theorists do not much care about the interpretations of QM, i.e., it could said that most of them prefer the "shut up and calculate" interpretation.

Due to your name, I suspect that you might like the Bohm interpretation. If so, you might find interesting that some results indicate an intimate relation between string theory and Bohmian interpretation:

I can provide some insights on this topic. Quantum mechanics and string theory are both fundamental theories in physics that aim to explain the behavior of particles and the forces that govern them. While quantum mechanics explains the behavior of particles at the subatomic level, string theory attempts to unify all the fundamental forces in the universe by considering particles as tiny vibrating strings.

One of the main challenges in combining these two theories is the issue of quantum gravity, which is the attempt to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with the theory of general relativity. String theory has been proposed as a potential solution to this problem, as it introduces the concept of gravitons, which are particles responsible for the force of gravity.

In terms of how the different interpretations of quantum mechanics affect string theory, it is important to note that string theory is still a developing and evolving theory. As such, there is no one agreed-upon interpretation of quantum mechanics that is preferred among string theorists. Different interpretations may lead to different approaches and predictions in string theory.

To search for more information on this topic, you can start by looking for research papers and articles published by physicists and researchers in the field of quantum mechanics and string theory. You can also attend conferences or seminars where experts in these fields present their latest findings and engage in discussions. Additionally, reaching out to experts in the field and asking for their insights and recommendations can also be helpful in understanding the relationship between these two theories.
