我充实了解释量子力学的信息方法的意义,正如皮托夫斯基和布布以及最近其他一些作者所辩护的那样,是(新)波赫里安。我认为,在这种方法,量子力学代表了玻尔所谓的“普通因果描述的自然概括”,(像斯泰因这样的科学哲学家以实践和认识的必要性为理由进行了论证),将一个理论理解为物理学理论需要能够“图式化观察者”。在量子力学中,它被提升到一个假设的水平,在这个意义上,解释测量相互作用的结果,为我们提供关于世界的信息,作为一个原则问题,以“布尔框架”的形式对观察者的示意性表示的规范-布尔代数表示与给定实验背景的给定可观察代表相关联的是或否问题。我认为,该方法的核心问题是如何分配的物理属性,以什么样的一个需要在一个给定的实验环境中的系统的方法论问题,而不是一个给定的状态向量代表独立于任何上下文的形而上学的问题,我展示了开放系统概念的量子概括如何被用来缓解爱因斯坦的抱怨,即传统的方法,量子力学与所谓的基本方法论要求相冲突,根据爱因斯坦的观点,人们必须总是能够将空间分离的系统视为彼此隔离的。
I flesh out the sense in which the informational approach to interpreting quantum mechanics, as defended by Pitowsky and Bub and lately by a number of other authors, is (neo-)Bohrian. I argue that on this approach, quantum mechanics represents what Bohr called a “natural generalisation of the ordinary causal description” in the sense that the idea (which philosophers of science like Stein have argued for on the grounds of practical and epistemic necessity) that understanding a theory as a theory of physics requires that one be able to “schematise the observer” within it is elevated in quantum mechanics to the level of a postulate in the sense that interpreting the outcome of a measurement interaction, as providing us with information about the world, requires as a matter of principle, the specification of a schematic representation of an observer in the form of a ‘Boolean frame’—the Boolean algebra representing the yes-or-no questions associated with a given observable representative of a given experimental context. I argue that the approach’s central concern is with the methodological question of how to assign physical properties to what one takes to be a system in a given experimental context, rather than the metaphysical question of what a given state vector represents independently of any context, and I show how the quantum generalisation of the concept of an open system may be used to assuage Einstein’s complaint that the orthodox approach to quantum mechanics runs afoul of the supposedly fundamental methodological requirement to the effect that one must always be able, according to Einstein, to treat spatially separated systems as isolated from one another.
