In his textbook, he gives basically the same description you quoted, but he also says that an equivalent way of looking at the quantum... -

This is how Ballentine presents the statistical interpretation--the ensemble is basically the abstract set of all instances of a given...

Why do you think that I see an ensemble of particles? I see an experiment depending on some knobs, that I can repeat as often as I want...

bhobba replied to the thread I A very interesting paper on orthodox quantum mechanics.See: I haven't watched it myself - about to. It would seem he thinks none are any good. I believe his folk theorem clarifies a...

Wow, I had read Ballentine's orthodoxity measure as 0.88, but actually it is -0.88. Which makes total sense to me.

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...

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.
