Superposition or Many-worlds interpretation?

Just wondering what you guys think about the results of the double slit experiment...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
With waves it is easy to understand, but what is "waving"? We're stuck with particles because that is what we detect, but what are they? The QM description works, but we really don't know what's going on.
 
So when unobserved, particles are waves of potential, but when observed they become particles. Superposition makes sense in the fact that it would be a single wave of possible potentials to exist and come to a definte existence when observed. And the many-worlds interpretation would just take superposition and separate the superpositioned states into different dimensions...I don't know which one sounds crazier.
 

Thread 'Why Entangled Photon-Polarization Qubits Violate Bell’s Inequality'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...

Thread 'Question about discussions around quantum interpretations'

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...
