bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Although well thought of by many, including me, it is not an orthodox approach. That said, it is the book I recommend studying... -

Like.
But his book is nearly as far as possible from the consensus textbook orthodoxy; see the last paragraph of p.20 in Beck's paper! -

I would add 'Algebraic QM', which can be found in textbook form in https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.5627, by François David, (published as...

Don't worry Ballentine made it to the list.

tl;dr summary: We will not here consider quantum field theory whatsoever. I suppose that's part of what orthodoxy requires: we can...

bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.Yes, EFT is a issue for the orthodox interpretation. Even worse is if you take the relativistic limit of QFT, you still have the...

thank you, yes.

And having it confirmed by making predictions that previously were not made, and which turn out to be right.

By proposing a further explanation. Until this happens there is no explanation, just as a book does not exist until someone writes it.

bhobba replied to the thread I Question about discussions around quantum interpretations.Well said, as usual, Peter. One of my great joys in life, now that I am older, is engaging in thoughtful discussions. I am a Patrion...

In the MWI, that doesn't "impose probabilities"--it just means that "we experience" has to be interpreted very...um, carefully. In...
