Ive been doing some researches about QM and I am in a condition where i can't differ Heisenbergs indetermination principle from copenhagen interp. Can somebody please explain simply or advancedly(?) (in an understandable way) are there any differences between them. If there are, what are those differences?

While "Copenhagen interpretation" is a vast subject, you can write in a couple of lines what you mean by the exact form of "the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle". Please, do so. Thank you!
 
There are several different interpretation of QM, Copenhagen interpretation is only one them. (Actually, Copenhagen interpretation is a common name for a few different interpretations, but that's another story). The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is valid in all those Copenhagen and non-Copenhagen interpretations. However, in each interpretation, the uncertainty principle is interpreted differently.

As i understood Heisenbergs principle is about "we can't know exact position and condition of a particle" while copenhagen interp. Is "unless we observe a paricule, it may or may not exist at all". Please forgive my ignorance as I am kinda new to this subject. And i would be glad to learn the truth behind those subjects. Thank you for your concern.
 
I recently started to read john gribbin. Thus i don't need further explanation. Thank you all for those who replied.
 
I would like to know the validity of the following criticism of one of Zeilinger's latest papers https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2507.07756 "violation of bell inequality with unentangled photons" The review is by Francis Villatoro, in Spanish, https://francis.naukas.com/2025/07/26/sin-entrelazamiento-no-se-pueden-incumplir-las-desigualdades-de-bell/ I will translate and summarize the criticism as follows: -It is true that a Bell inequality is violated, but not a CHSH inequality. The...
I understand that the world of interpretations of quantum mechanics is very complex, as experimental data hasn't completely falsified the main deterministic interpretations (such as Everett), vs non-deterministc ones, however, I read in online sources that Objective Collapse theories are being increasingly challenged. Does this mean that deterministic interpretations are more likely to be true? I always understood that the "collapse" or "measurement problem" was how we phrased the fact that...
This is not, strictly speaking, a discussion of interpretations per se. We often see discussions based on QM as it was understood during the early days and the famous Einstein-Bohr debates. The problem with this is that things in QM have advanced tremendously since then, and the 'weirdness' that puzzles those attempting to understand QM has changed. I recently came across a synopsis of these advances, allowing those interested in interpretational issues to understand the modern view...
