Philosophy of quantum theory: Why all the options are puzzling
28 July 2023 11:00am–12:00pm
Speaker: Associate Professor Simon Friederich
Affiliation: University of Groningen
Abstract
In this talk, I present three different puzzles, one for each of the three major avenues of interpreting quantum theory: Everettian ("many worlds"), anti-realist ("Copenhagenian"), and "hidden variables." I also explore the prospects for solving these puzzles.
